I enjoyed his first reactions with all the unpreparedness and flailing. I also enjoyed his thoughtful reviews from his re-read when he gives overviews of the themes he sees throughout.
I went through this in one day, secretly crying at all the emotional points (so that my friends who I was on a skitrip with didn't see). It has been a beautiful journey and I'm glad that I got to relive my experience by reading Marks.
To quote Mark: "Ok, so, I have to stop with the extreme keysmashes and caps lock freak outs because so much is happening right now." (Chapter 7, pg. 50 in the paperback). That pretty much sums up this entire experience. New characters and plot threads are introduced even as previous ones fall into their final places. Poor Mark.I've said it before, but it bears repeating: experiencing the Harry Potter books along with Mark has been a joy. The reviews vary between critical analysis and the aforeme...
Oh Mark, you are never prepared, especially not for Deathly Hallows. Some of the things that Mark says are just annoying to me by this point while others are simply precious. And the fact that he insists on making all of these reviews so personal... I'm glad that this is the last one. I am glad that Mark found Harry but I don't think I will revisit his reviews again.
Seriously, if you are a fan of the Harry Potter series, this is an absolute must read. I accidentally stumbled across it last summer and have read it 4 times in under a year!Mark is a wonderful, insightful human being and his reviews still make me laugh and cry. Unfortunately I can't buy the physical or ebooks as they are unavailable in the UK but I think the blog has lmost everything on it anyway.I love this and I doubt it will be long before I'm back.
Brilliant!
These books are perfect companions to Harry Potter, and nothing about that has changed with the last one.
