Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - A Review (****/*****)

I was just telling my sister yesterday about my Harry Potter theory - that I've enjoyed the odd-numbered books thoroughly, and the even-numbered ones not so much. So I figured that book 7 would be enjoyable. (More than figured, I was hoping against hope!) And I was right. And the only reason I'm not giving it a five-star review is because I'm writing this whilst still on the high that the book has given me, and I don't want to look back on this review as one which I wrote in a state of being extremely carried away!
Also, I'd better make this one short because I wouldn't want to inadvertently ruin the book for someone... All that I can say is that the book is distinctly Da Vinci Code-ish. Really complex and very deeply interwoven and at times rather confusing. But amazing all the same. And certainly thought provoking.
All-in-all, you've gotta read it, and gotta read it quick! At the last check, my mum had seen the eventual fate of most characters as headlines on a news channel's ticker, and I'll bet there are plenty more (idiotic) news channels waiting to do the same. So grab your copy before someone manages to ruin it for you!
