First Thoughts--Spoiler Free
Some short thoughts--and I mean short--really this is barely the tip of the iceburg...because I'm thoroughly exhausted emotionally and physically and because I don't have the cut-tags on this computer in Florida so I can't use spoilers (this post has NO SPOILERS--or at least what I would consider spoilers. Read at your own risk, still.) but because I still need to say something before I combust...
Just finished HBP.
I...I don't think I liked it.
I say this very tentatively because I'm quite flustered right now, having had a lot to take in, and I know I'm in for some long hard reflecting before I can collect my thoughts reasonably.
Oh gosh, I think I already want to take that back. I just read the reflections of people who have their thoughts collected and they pointed out everything I loved about the book and even made me feel better about the things I didn't like. I will say that a lot of what I didn't like had to do with ships. However, don't pre-judge me; I'm not being a brat about anything, it's simply that a lot of it didn't sit well with me (it didn't feel write, or well written, but only very certain parts. There's a line that I found to be the most horrid corny thing ever that I'm dying to quote right now but I'll valiantly wait for cuts). I am starting to feel better about it on the whole. And, erm, my mother's already learned that my newest thing is to blame the small parts that bugged me on the pregnancy. Scape goat, anyone? *wink*
I guess the main difference for me was that for the first time I had trouble keeping on at parts. Shall possibly discuss later. I perservered, though, even if it was at a ridiculously slow rate (because gosh darn it if I wasn't so frustrated at times!).
I've got a lot more to say but I'll hold off so I can let it all out in a spoiler-cut...anyone want to comment with that code, by-the-by? I know I've asked for it a gazillion times and I did finally save it, but on my PC at home. Eek.
