Teh Potter

This thing only came out last Friday, right? Jesus, it feels like it's been around forever, what with all the chatter that's been going on about it on my FL. But finally FINALLY I finished. I zoomed through 150 pages or so on my way into work, and savored the last 50 while waiting for the homebound bus this morning. And, you know, I was okay. I enjoyed what I read tons, but I wasn't all sappy or emotional or anything. UNTIL the second to last page, where one little line of dialogue* had me tearing up like crazy. Embarrasing to the extreme, seeing as I was on the side of a busy street in front of the hospital. I tried to play it off and make it seem like I'd gotten dust in my eyes and then texted 1x2foralways. My message paraphrased: ( semi-spoilery, yo )

I'm not going to go all hardcore reviewer on the book, but, yes, I liked ( mad spoilerz, yo )

But mine is not to quibble (I'm tired, dammit) but to love and to search out reviews/comments on my FL and then go to sleep and then to call 1x2foralways and fangirl squee some more. There.

ETA: You know what part really gets me? And not in the teary way, but in a...yeah, okay, let me just share it:
( Needless to say, spoilers )

*( Spoilery and tissue-worthy )
