First off, Thor said he heard somewhere that this book is Rowling's "Empire Strikes Back." Nothing could be truer.
While I feel the book was a bit rushed, as was the ending, I'm still left amazed by it all.

And I also threw the book across the room, not at the end though (although I am looking forward to the next one... summer 2006 can't come soon enough!) just before the end, there is an entire chapter that is sloppily and lazily written. I don't know if the editors just skipped that one or what but I was sorely disappointed. After over 6000 pages of well-written perfection, this was glaring and upsetting.
