Mission Complete: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

so i'm like a wk behind many of you - yep, I only finished HP7 just now.. was going to finish it last nite, but was feeling sick so saved that last 20 pages for today after dinner...

Hmm.. agree w/ Uarzen that the book is very fast paced (i think i shouldn't even read his comment although he claimed it's "spoil free"!) hahahahaa... anyway, the book indeed is good, so many fighting battles - and just moving so fast!!!! it's very dark on the other side, too many deaths to deal w/ - not to mention one of my favorite character died like right at the beginning!! (who's that?! well, dig out my ICQ user name!) hahahahahhahahaa

Anyhow, i do feel like the ending is "huh? just like that?! what?! it's over? have i missed something!?" and the last last ending i think is a bit "drawing legs for snake"....

Anyway, it has been.. 6 yrs for me since i started reading HP - still remember i only started it in 2001 after wondering why Dirk (Hagrid to me!) reading a "children's book" - and ever since i just got so hooked and bought Book 3 from UK Bloomsbury directly (since back then HK release later than UK - and that, of course, is the most expensive HP book i bought! charged in GBP!!!!)... hahahahahaha

Also started the 1st HP newsgroup ever in HK (ha, am still groupmaster - although i'm under my invisible cloak ever since.. the last few yrs!?) hahahaha.... watched HP1 at Admiralty while someone is visiting HK that winter (and with the newsgroup cosplay ppl too!).... watched HP 2 @ AMC, and the 3rd one in Amsterdam!! Oh, and of course, the HP door hanging thingy I got from Boise still on my door.....

it's a bit sad to see it "ends"... i guess it's like departing w/ a friend - even though it's not the first time i depart w/ friends whom i know for long - and every time i wonder if that would be the last time we ever cross in our life - well, in real life most of the time wasn't (although still sadden me), yet for HP case, i don't think i'll re-read it in a short time - some times letting go and letting memories to fad is a good way anyway....

anyway, for those who hasn't read / finish the story - happy reading :)

checked out the 2nd book + 2 other books from the library last night. debating which one to read... then I picked Amy Tan's "Saving Fish from Drowning." Amy's book seems more interesting. Sorry Harry Potter.

I only read Amy Tang's Joy Luck Club long time back... one of my favorite, but... i don't like reading heavy stuffs, u know

HP1 & 2 is kinda boring (but essential for better stuffs later on)... so... have fun reading HPs...
