This is possibly the most written about book blog topic ever, though I have found it in my heart to go with the crowd on this one.
In the end of the epic tale of Harry Potter, this teenage hero must, in quoting Dumbledore, choose between what is right, and what is easy. This year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are not attending Hogwarts, but are completing the monumental task of destroying the Dark Lord Voldemort's horcruxes, and defeating him once and for all. Years before Voldemort was unsuccessful in killing Harry, he preserved his soul in seven horcruxes in order to gain almost immortality. Dumbledore knew this, and right before he was killed by Severus Snape, he told Harry that he was to hunt down and destroy these.
Though Voldemort was reading his children's stories, and while reading Tales of the Beetle and the Bard, he came across the tale of the Deathly Hallows. He then realized that in order to truly defeat death, he had to obtain these three hallows. Through a series of complicated events, Harry, Ron, and Hermione destroy five of the horcruxes, learn about the Deathly Hallows from Luna Lovegood's father, Xenophilius, travel to Hogwarts, fight against the Dark Lord, and, well I wouldn't want to spoil it.
Even if you don't like the idea of Harry Potter, I would still highly recommend reading this book just to see the style in which Jo Rowling writes. Throughout this book you see things hidden that you may skip over. Such as Xenophilius, which relates to xenophilia, which means brotherly love to people you do not know. Also Voldemort whose name (and Jo did not know this when writing the books) is French for flight of death. There are many other relations to Old English, poetry, Greek and Roman mythology, and high thrills in this book. My
overall scoop: This is a ten out of ten on the must read scale.
