I will still read 'The Deathly Hallows' and will enjoy the plot, but NOT the way it is written.

Maybe I should become a book critic rather than a vet.
I too agree in some ways. I have read all the books and have seen all the films..and have enjoyed them. However, the style of writing is simple and yes the words are somewhat flat on the page.....but for an easy, not have to think too much read, they are great entertainment.

For those that haven't read the books but have seen the films and weren't impressed...you really should try the books. Due to thickness of the more recent books a lot of the detail was missed out in the films - which especially bugged me in the newly released film (Order of the Phoenix). I felt too many little, but quite important, parts were missed out grrrrr.
