Here's the entry I started on Sunday:

"I think the rum is wearing off, I can post something about Deathly Hallows now with a 50/50 that shot that it will be coherent. (I might have been a little gone when I started reading too. XD; What can I say, they were passing out wine at the bookstore and I never turn down free drinks.)"

...but I must have been drunker than I thought, because at that point, I fell asleep without writing anything about the book. ^^; I've been reading reviews here and there, and have noted with a sinking feeling that most are not nearly as fun to read as Deathly Hallows. It's not that I loved the book without reservations and anything negative harshes my squee, it's more that...some of these reviews are so personal. Like calling my friend and listening to her complain about how she didn't like the ending because she'd predicted all the deaths and wanted J. K. Rowling to surprise her. And, okay, reviews are personal, they're a personal reaction to the work of another person, but there's a point where it's not even about the book anymore, you know?

So that, and market saturation, and knowledge of my own un-hardcoreness (I've read most of the books within a few weeks of release, but I haven't reread any of them), are why I haven't written anything about Deathly Hallows. But I have to now, don't I, or this entire entry will have been one long complaint.

( Deathly Hallows, Spoilers! )

I'm probably forgetting a few points but I really have to go eat something, before I pass out ^^;;.

EDIT: HP7 reactions I agreed with enjoyed:
