[X] My Assistant

Well -- I just got home from picking up the latest, and final (probably) Harry Potter book. And of course, I skipped right to the end to see how it all comes out. I won't say anything, but I'm not displeased. As for light reading, though -- this one is 759 pages long.

And now, off to the summation of the adventure...

I was going to queue at our local Borders to get one for Helen ( she didn't want to run the risk of someone flicking to the back and screaming out spoilers at the store at 5 past midnight ) - BUT - the queue at Borders was HUGE, probably a couple of hundred people, wrapped around the whole store - so I went to the supermarket opposite and was 11th in the queue, the manager of the store came out with a tray of champagne and orange juice to keep us happy. 20 minutes later I was in, grabbed a copy, checked out using the self-checkout machine, and was out of store 92 seconds after the book went on sale ( according to the receipt) and home by 00:10.

Helen is now firmly encamped in the spare room reading it - fully intending to finish it today. I'm not in as much of a hurry - but do want to see the series to the end having read the others. Personally I was hoping that JKR would fool us all and produce book 7 as a 12 page pamphlet.
