Harry Potter...it's over, over.
Jul. 25th, 2007 09:17 pmI finished Deathly Hallows on Tuesday night. I had started in Sunday afternoon and read a bit everyday, because I have things to do and can't sit around for six hours reading Harry Potter. It was an emotional rollarcoster of a book, but overall it was a nice ending to the series.
I've always said that J.K. Rowling is a good children/young adult writer, but I'm not sure if she could write more "mature" fiction. I think it is because I often find more of her romantic scenes flat and a little over the top. [Side note: that's why I love HBP- Harry's love/teenage lust for Ginny makes me giggle.] However, she did well with the action (and there was a lot of action) scenes. J.K.'s also rather good with the emotion-filled moments. Looking back, J.K.'s really matured as a writer and her characters are very real.
