Well, I finished HP last night..quite a marathon.  I'm still not sure how I
feel about it.  It was very dark.  There could've been a bit of editing, but
maybe a second reading will bring it back into perspective.  I must admit a
certain frenzy to finish the book to see what happens, a more leisurely read
might have been better.:)  When DH has finished I will read it again.  In
the meantime I have the book tapes to listen to :)  I don't think there has
been much "americanisation" this time, at least not from what I've heard so
far :)  The Canadian editions of the book are the same as the British, but
the tapes are the American version.  I'll never understand why they have to
have a different book cover for the different countries either..it's the
same with another of our favourite authors, Terry Pratchett.  The jackets
for his books published in America are so totally lacking in imagination and
so gawdawfully dull I'm not surprised they don't sell well, yet he is
probably the best living satirist published today :(  Until JK Rowling, TP
has been the only author to have conventions devoted soley to his work, and
at any one time there are stage versions of his books  all over Britain and
Australia...but I digress :(  Those of you still slogging through HP..the
ending is quite spectacular :)    Sharon  on sunny Vancouver Island
