Who has finished the book?

[HOBBIT]

Post here once you finish the new book! I've only read a little of it, but I plan on finishing by Monday.

[IronParrot]

I'm done... lots to say about it, mind you. Lots and lots.

[HOBBIT]

Wow, Ip you are insane. I'll be done by Monday, I promise. :D

[IronParrot]

Yeah, I read it in practically one go - well, two, because I took a five-hour nap somewhere in between to make up for last night's lost sleep. :)

[Elf Girl]

I finished it 9:30 last night.

That's withing 24 hours mind you. IP, where do you live? Like in what timezone? Did you beat me or did I beat you?

[EyeSeeYou]

im done. i was done yesterday. but no one else was done so i couldnt say anything. can we talk about it here? or somewhere else?

anyway i started it on 12:30 saturday (it was still dark, just after midnight) and read till 4:00am, then went to sleep and read from 9am or so till 4pm or so. I read it in 10 hours or so.

So much to say about it..... and im so depressed cause this book just sucks the hapiness out of you, like a dementor. and since i dont like chocolate, theres nothing to cheer me up.... please if youre done, PM me cause i need to talk about the book or im gonna explode!!

[Cirdan]

Nevermind...

[Sween]

ive just finished which aint so bad considering i had to take clients out last afternoon and took Amy round butternear today

[Diaxion]

i finished it this morning, however, i had to take several hour long breaks because i was at a theme park

[Ben]

Finished... it's incredible.

[Khamûl]

Haven't finished it yet. I'm about halfway through. I might have to lose a little sleep tonight though.

[Sheeana]

Trying not to read it too fast. *must... resist... temptation... to .... read.... it.....* :rolleyes:

[AngieBaggins]

I'm done, i finished it at 1:10 EXACTLY. Mention i got it at 1:37 in the morning and had recital ALL WEEKEND! urg, it bugged, but i finally got it done. I'm guessing about 10-11 hours or so if i added correctly..... I liked it, very angry, very dark, very entrancing(sp?), very kill joy, but very me.. i loved it.

Why? I read it fast cuz it's the way I read. I have proceeded to read it once through and many bits againg since.

[sun-star]

I finished it yesterday afternoon - which considering I was at a family reunion, I consider both good and a little disturbing :D But the minute I finished it my brother snatched it from my hands, so no re-reading yet...

[Sheeana]

Gah, gave in and read it too fast. (The reason, elfgirl, is because I waited a damned long time for it, and I wanted to savour it a bit more instead of my usual devouring of books.) Somewhat hindered by having to work on Saturday, and going to an opera on Sunday, and then working again on Monday, I have finally finished it today (Tues). What can I say? It was good, but not as good as my favourite book (3) or the last one. The middle dragged a bit with no real sense of direction, and the beginning dragged a bit as well. Potter has turned into an annoyly shout-y little brat, who seems far too quick to discount his friends, and believe them to be capable of dropping him - as seems to happen over every summer. All annoying points aside (prophecy! hah! My butt has prophecised more than that), I enjoyed it. Some of my favourite parts were sitting the OWLs, and seeing Dumbledore matched against Voldemort. Interesting that he called him, "Tom." I shall have to read it again, but so far, it sits after Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire. It could definately have been shorter. Also: wasn't as dark as I was exptecting. I guess it was more sinister because of the censorship thing happening, but I guess the next book will be where it really begins to slide downhill....

[Khamûl]

I didn't do much today except read. I read 400-something pages and finished it up. I couldn't put it down.

[Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn]

i finished the book on the 22nd...took me about 7 hours

i thought it was one of the best! i felt bad for harry tho in some parts of it...but also wanting to yell at him to calm down....

all in all....dont make us wait 3 more years for the next damn one jk rowling!

[Adrian Baggins]

My mom got onto me for reading spoilers, well, actually, we were on the phone cause I live in Celeste, a really teny tiny town near Greenville, which is a small town near Dallas, TX and my mom lives in Pasadena(sp), TX. She said they were pretty well sold out there but she was trying to get a copy so I could read it when I went down there for the rest of the summer. All she really said was 'Shame on you," and "You're m\not supposed to do that," but they were so hard to resist, I am sad from the quote/spoiler I read about Sirius that was said about Harry, tho I can't wait to read it, I like getting stuff spoiled, that's why I get on threads like this, and it doesn't really spoil it for me cause I read the stuff and then forget the spoilers as I read the book till I get to that part, and sometimes the spoilers make it easier, and sometimes they make it harder to read the parts.

[Silpion]

I finished it at 2:00am on Sunday went to sleep and woke up at 1:30 in the afternoon. I've been re-reading most of the chapters again to get a clearer picture of the story. Lots of stuff going on!

[Diaxion]

This is a bit unrealted but isn't funny that the person who made this thread (HOBBIT) hasn't finished the book yet. ;)

[LuthienTinuviel]

finsihed this morning. if i hadn't had to work from 9am to7pm and then go to an open house, and if i hadn't had to work from 10 am to 6pm on sunday, or 4-9 pm on monday i may have finished it quicker.

i hate being busy whan all i wanna do is rot.

mm rotty.

i love this book. it perfectly reflects the school system we have out here.:D

[gimli7410]

i finished it at about 12:00 today. i didnt even want to finish it fast i just did because i wanted to sorta have somethin to read over the summer but i could never put it down. amazing about neville though:eek:

[LuthienTinuviel]

oo i know!
wouldnt it have been interesting if Voldemort had picked Nevillle over harry?

haha besides gred and forge.. er fred and george, Neville is one of my favourites.

edit: i neamed my new frog Trevor.:D

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I have about 4 chapters left! Which i will finish tonight! yay!
I would have finished it quite a while ago if i hadn't had so much darn homework! Man Homework sucks! :(

So far the books been fab!

[Salquënòrëwen]

I just finished it about 10 minutes ago...:)

[HOBBIT]

Oh i finished it a while ago, I just forgot to post here. It took me as long as I did because I felt no need to rush through it - i was enjoying it and absorbing everything. Why have little details miss me? It's not a race - who cares if you read it in a day or two days? Plus, I have been doing other stuff, mooting, iming, playing games.

Very Very good book though! Finishing less than a week after it is out is still very good.

[Arcala]

I'm done, had to borrow the book off a friend, which meant I had to wait for her to finish. Great book, had its good (and bad) parts. I look forward to the next one!

[HOBBIT]

yeah - we only have to wait another 2-4 years :) ;)

[Arcala]

Well, as long as the books ARE as good as this one, I don't mind too much..... anyway, it's not like this book leaves us hanging as much as the past one. I mean, we know that ol' Voldy's back, unlike the last one, and we know he'll be pretty well treated at his house, and.....no more Sirius..... his death was pretty sad.

[Varda Oiolosseo]

Yay! I finished it 2 days ago! It was fantastic and i have started reading it again! lol! ;) :p
