thistlechaserFirst off, apologies to those of you who care nothing about HP and had lots of Thistle-HP-posts cluttering your friends page yesterday. It won't be a habit and probably won't happen until the next book comes out in however many years. :)
I finally finished, and all I'm really sure about is that I'm glad I can say that I'm finally finished. Enough, enough, enough. I had to really push myself to get through the last couple hundred pages today, my mind was balking and protesting reading. In my opinion (which seems to differ than many other fans'), it was not a very enjoyable story. There were some good elements (loved Lovegood, Dumbledore calling Voldermort 'Tom', and Fred and George's final days at the school), but all in all I didn't *like* it.
Maybe I was expecting too much. I was probably looking for it to have things it didn't (Snape. Could there have been any less of him in it?). Though, you know, this line almost made up for the whole thing:
Snape eyed Harry, tracing his mouth with one long, thin finger as he did so.
I hit that sentence about 2 AM, and boy did it have me giggling.
I guess I might have more thoughts at some future date, but for now I have had enough. Getting some aspirin, hitting the bathroom (have had to go for way too long now), and then... something not reading-related.
