Book Reviews of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
Book Review: A perfect 3 stars out of 7
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, there you have it. I have read all 7 books, and they are all of 3 stars entertainment quality. Considering they were written for children they are all good, but not great. What makes them 3 stars only is that one complete book could have been written from all of the Ron and Hermione arguing about the detail of the sunset, snowfall, screaming wallpaper, boring ghosts that serve no purpose, as well as tedious facial expressions of drunken teachers and disgusting old hall monitors that serve no other purpose than to take up space of the hall corridors and the readers time. Professor Snape, Harry. Professor Snape, Harry. Professor Snape, Harry. Professor Snape, Harry. Professor Snape, Harry. Could anyone that is portrayed as a brilliant know-nothing wizard be that stupid? Apparently not. She became a millionaire writting about one. Remove all that crap, especially from the 870 page 5th book and you have 6, 4 star books. Goodbye Harry! Goodbye.Book Review: all is well
Summary: 4 Stars
Some people are complaining about the plot twists. They're really not that bad when you look at the way the book was set up. Nice to see most of you are satisfied, though.
Anyways, good book. She didn't kill off Luna Lovegood. I am at peace.
Book Review: AFTER HARRY POTTER WHAT TO READ NEXT? READ ON
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Potter is a phenomenom with witches, warlocks, treachery, flying chickens, and more! Now that you've read all of HP books what can you read that is of the same genre, quality, and passion?? Type in Robert E. Howard in Amazon search and start with 'The Coming Of Conan The Cimmerian' by Del Rey with the first story The Phoenix on the Sword, The Frost-Giant's Daughter, The God in the Bowl, and to the last story a full novel called The Devil in Iron. It's beautifully illustrated every few pages by Mark Schultz which adds value and more!
Excerpt on back of book 'Conan is one of the greatest fictional heroes ever created--a swordsman who cuts a swarth across the lands of the Hyborian Age, facing powerful sorcerers, deadly creatures, and ruthless armies of thieves and reavers.
Collected in this volume, profusely illustrated by artist Mark Schultz, are Howard's first 13 Conan stories, appearing in their original versions--in some cases for the first time in more than 70 years--and in order Howard wrote them.'
'Howard was a true storyteller--one of the first, and certainly among the best, you'll find in heroic fantasy. If you've never read him before, you're in for a real treat.'
Highly Recommend all of the Del Rey books of REH Conan's, Kull, Bran Mak Morn, Solomon Kane, Crimson Shadows, The Best of REH Vol 1 & 2, The Last of the Trunk and Selected Letters of REH Foundation, Blood & Thunder, The Life & Art of REH by Mark Finn, One Who Walked Alone by Novalyne Price, and The Beast from the Abyss about cats -my favorite. Enjoy!!
Book Review: Book was Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
The story was great; however, the service was awful. The book stopped at chapter 36. One turned the page to finish the book and found themselves back on page 691, chapter 34. The ending and final outcome of the entire series was not in this copy, and I have returned your piece of crap. The book was listed at Amazon's Online Used Bookstore, sold by a subsidiary company of Amazon.com eligible for Amazon Prime in Acceptable Condition. I would have expected better of Amazon. A book that leaves out the ending is not "accaptable" by anyone's stretch of the imagination. Unfortunately, I could only return this crap and not exchange it for a real book.Book Review: Good fantasy book, not for small children
Summary: 4 Stars
The first book of the Harry Potter series was a brilliant starter, suitable in my opinion for all ages (i.e. for those who can read). This is definately not book a for small children however, due to the violence and cruelty that peppers the book. It still is a good fantasy book, well on the level or above of the most of current fantasy literature but its not on the level of the first book. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will definately want to read this, as it provides all the answers, i.e. regarding Dumbledore's death, his past and on how Harry can battle Voldemort. In fact there is a short spellbattle between them right at the beginning at the book.
In short, don't expect the level of Tolkien's writing but you can expect a good fantasy novel with an all-out magical war between good and evil. If you are a HP fan, also prepare for some bloody fights and deaths of many good characters.
