God, the book was so intense. I was so emotional throughout. All of the deaths were so heartbreaking!

Here's my review. But be warned, it's pretty scattered and not very deep. :)

As for fanfiction, I'm desperately looking for a place with good Harry Potter fiction. None of the harry potter fanfiction sites are easy to use at all. They're all laid out so badly. But I think dh_fanfic has some pretty good stories and ficlets to provide some much needed closure.
