free from HP!!!!!
I finally finished the book last night (TAKE THAT SCOLASTIC!UP YOUR BUTT!!!) read 100% on my computer (TAKE THAT PAPER!!!).
While i won't spoil it for the two people who read our site, i will vent my two strongest impressions:
1) Continuity errors!!!!! Oh the pain!
2) Manichaen heresy people! It's a heresy.
For the latter point, the reason that i take issue with the eternal battle between light and darkeness in this book rather than in the previous ones is that the idea is much more pronounced in the final battle, and consequently draws on more neo-religious-mythology than any of the other books. And in doing so reveals the author's fuzzy sense of a moral cosmos in which love and sacrifice are important only if they come in conjunction with solid ass-kicking skills. In other words, made to be a movie. The jews in hollywood are already twirling their horns. What? i didn't say that!
