^Quite. HP and Northern Lights is quite an unfair comparison. HDM is far better than anything in HP. In HDM, everything is suggested to be science, whereas HP takes theoretical science ideas, and uses magic. Also HP has so little basis in logic, that characters like Harry and Ron, who are that little bit thick, can get places by luck. HDM explains the reasons for their actions in far more logical terms. HDM all the way.

Yes, much better, but less fun to read. Mostly the last was the most boring one, the writing didn't have the heart that was there in the other two books.

I'd say that the first DM book was way better than all the HP books. (I might not like it better, just in neutral judgement.)

The second one was better than some of the HP books, worse than others but still a really good read.

And the third one, well let's just say it ranks on my most hated books list because it was, in my opinion, poorly written and carried out. And since it was the end, kind of ruined the series.

By the way, the movie would have been better if they had kept the original end from the books.

I was disappointed by the last DM book as well.....But I also thought that ''The Deathly Hallows'' was very poorly written.....Both books felt rushed and kind of ruined the series.... ^o)

It seems a lot of last books are like that.

But I really liked Deathly Hallows.

It's hard to close a trilogy or series with something that does justice to the whole up to that point.

Yeah, I believe so.

Look at the Twilight fans, loads of them are roaring angry over the new book.

I still haven't read Breaking Dawn.... :( ....even though I'm dying to!
I was going to order it from Amazon but because it takes a week to arrive and I'm leaving for the UK in a few days it will arrive after I've left.... ^o) ....So I'm going to have to wait to buy it in England... :-/ ....I've heard it was pretty disappointing though...

Well, I didn't mind it.

I actually liked the middle alright...it was a bit more grisly than the other books.

But it was different...had a different tone than the others. Not that that's a bad thing...but it's not wonderful or anything.

Ugh, I've heard some pretty ugly spoilers.

Yeah, those spoilers were leaked before the book came out and everyone was like this is impossible, it can't be true....yeah they were.

And it was bad.

Yeah I've heard stuff like

[+] Spoiler

Babies being ripped out with teeth and something that sounds a helluva lot like pedophillia

I usually have problems with reading spoilers but with the speed I'm going at now it'll probably be another three years before I actually read the book.

Yeah...you sort of heard right.

My mom's reading it. She was all traumatized earlier cuz Edward apparently gave Jake permission to bang Bella cuz he didn't want a vampire child.
:D Serves her right for fangirling the series.

Um, yes.

That was so awkward to read...

I tried to restrain myself from reading the spoilers but , as always I failed.... :P
So do you think it was generally okay but not good enough to be the last book of the series , or do you think it was a total letdown...?

I don't really like them, so I'm technically not the best person to ask.

I thought that it wrapped things up well, and I'm sure fans will really like the very beginning. There were some weird things...and things I think most people will balk at. The ending isn't exactly how I would bring a climax together, but...at least people can't be mad about who died.

It was written in a different tone from the rest of the series.

Someone died....??? :'(
Oh no.....I can see me crying at some point then.... :ermm:

Don't take it like that.

You'll see what I mean...

Is it one of the main characters...???It can't be Edward seeing as he can't die....
