    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Anyone read it?

    Just wondering if there are any other Harry Potter readers out there. If you read it or are reading it, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

    I got it Friday night and was done by early evening on Saturday. I won't say anything about the content for fear of posting spoilers. PM me if you want to talk about it, I guess!

    It was as if I was in the battles themselves. She is such an excellent storyteller.
    I enjoy it all.

    OMG!! I read quickly, but I have barely scratched the surface. I think I am spending too much time getting caught up on the Tour after my trip to Bend! I better get reading!!

    I tell you, that's a hard book to read lying in bed. It's HEAVY!! My upper body strength is not what it used to be.

    Just got my copy today.

    YES!! I had the same problem. I tried to lay it on my bed and lean over it, but I got sick of that and finally just went back out to the couch.

    Hi, I'm Heather and I'm a widow to Harry Potter. DH has been reading it non-stop between working and watching le Tour. He won't talk to me. He doesn't hear me when I call for him. All he does is sit and read and eat cookies and milk. It's like he's reverted back to the fifth grad. God love 'im.
