Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

It took me forever to read the final installment of J.K. Rowling's pension plan but the payoff was worth it, even if after 700+ pages. While dragging in the middle, the final 200 pages picked up steam and wrapped up the saga in a nice, neat predictable bundle.

But let's be honest, this ain't no great work of fiction. The series pales (to the point of Invisibility Cloak?) compared to Lord of the Rings. Still, I'm glad I read it. Back to non-fiction for a while.
