Will I ever do that again- read a 600 page novel in under 24 hours?

Probably not.

Was it a satisfactory conclusion of the series for you?

My copy has seven hundred and fifty-some pages - what'd they leave out in yours? : - )

Me either.
Maybe.

It was a fast read, and a definite page turner. I read it yesterday morning/early afternoon, in and around doing laundry.

I had the American copy too- though bigger than the uk version, it runs to over 700 pages. It has little pictures at the start of each chapter.

Finished it yesterday. Not exactly the ending I expected/hoped for, but still good, and made me think.

Perhaps it`s too early to openly discuss it- people fearing spoilers and all that. Lots to say though.

I just finished it about an hour ago.

I was pleased with the ending if not terribly surprised by it all. She tells a compelling story -- one might think she cast a spell herself on the book, making it impossible to put down until finished.

Or not. I did manage to take a break long enough to see the HP movie. Although, that's not really much of a break, is it?

The lost weekend! --I rearranged an appointment, skipped church, turned off my cell phone and TV and computer, and spent the day on my porch, taking breaks only for walking occasionally when I got too restless.

Harry totally immersed me and I was 99% pleased with the story. (I found the epilogue frustrating, because I wanted to know what the characters would be doing with their careers, although surely she'd hinted at auror, ministry, and law)

Kate finished before I did; she said she'd find herself looking up and being startled that she was in her living room.
