Default Who finished the book and how long did it take you

I got the book 3pm on Saturday afternoon. I read it until 2am then got a few hours of sleep. I started again at 9am and finished it by 8pm. So it took me about 20 hours to read it from beginning to the end.

It is a deep and dark book. Deeper and darker than any of the others. My husband does not read them. I explain them to him after I read them. This one was way too complex to explain.

What are your opinions and views on the ending??

14 hours, but I fixed lunch and dinner in that time. And I had to read a couple of the earlier chapters (or parts of them) twice -- like when the side car fell off the motorcycle. For some reason that one really threw me for a loop. Hedwig falling and then the sidcar falling off. I just had to read it again.

I haven't started reading it a second time yet because I'd started another book that I hadn't finished when stopped to read HP7. I'll finish it and go back. I may wait until school starts.

I forgot the ending --- the real ending or the epilogue ending?

You are a much faster reader than I am. I know I'm easily distracted, but you beat me big time speed wise.

I received the book at 9 AM through the post on Saturday morning. I was in the process of helping a friend move so could not read nonstop until I had finished helping her move at about 3 that afternoon. I finished the book at 12:30 AM Sunday morning. I have gone back and revisited several chapters of the book already.

I will definitely go back and reread the entire series in order to get it all firmly in place in my mind. This website has helped a little.

Did I like the ending? I am not sure I wanted one. Like the worlds of Anne McCaffrey, I think Ms. Rowling has the potential to do more with this world she has created either alone or with joint authors.....I hope this is not the last we have heard from Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, etc.....
