I felt like I could have written the frustrations that the author was expressing.

*Spoiler Alert concerning Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*
I went and bought a copy of HP and the Deathly Hallows Saturday afternoon and finished it about an hour ago.
I must say it was the most frustrating, gripping and satisfying book yet. A mostly fitting end to a well loved series.
Frustrating? For [...]
