I would like to start this review by first explaining to my not existent audience that i have no idea what separates good intelligent literature from entertaining and mindless literature but i shall right review it like i (don't) know what I'm doing regardless.
The book took a good week to read, as it is very long (fucking great opening line) .. Let me try harder; I opened the book on a grim Sunday night, the clouds outside were stirring with the intent to drench pedestrians as they walked through the streets contempt with their mediocre existence, haha. The first to complaint about is the front cover, it looks like some faggot from 'deviant art' has drawn it and unfortunately makes the book the seem juvenile although once I started reading it I realized (Firefox spell checker is wank) that wasn't the case.
Straight away 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' makes sure you recognise this as a tragedy, the death of two prominent characters early on sets the mood for the rest of book. Rowling is appealing to the 'emo' generation with this overall grimness, I'm sure it is something she intended to do. The book is also flooded with morals, they are so in your face that sometimes it really annoyed me. I think Rowling was trying to teach our generation, or a younger one a lesson of compassion and that we should respect others to benefit our selfs. I say fuck off, She did this in a almost patronising way.
Anyways enough with the complaints and on with with the praise. I have to admit i really liked this book despite its downfalls, it kept me gripped through out and left me with an almost satisfying ending. There was even a nice twist in the book that surprisingly made sense.
The ending was intense dispite Harry's battle with Voldemort been a slight anti-climix.
So thats the end of my review.. i know its a bit shit but thats what the blog is all about.
