Big Dumb Object and the Harry Potter Book

Right, finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was full of infodumps, deus-ex-machina, unguessable plot twists, and large sections where nothing happened. And yet still managed to include some large set pieces which the film company will be drooling over. I'm left feeling underwhelmed. That's all the review you're getting.

Now I can return to a less intense reading schedule. Back to reading The Atrocity Archives, which I'm a third of the way through. Then Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin which Tobias Buckell has kindly sent me (and signed too, cool). After that it's not worth planning, I have an agile reading list.

Coming up, a couple of reviews, a competition, (the crowd goes "oooooh") and some good old fashioned blogging.

And of course I can return to the interweb. If anything important happened this weekend and has finished, I'm not going to know, because I'm just about to hit Mark All As Read on Google Reader.
