Turn: Washington's Spies Season 3 New, Free Shipping

Jul 11, 2019

Turn to “TURN Washington’s Spies” for a healthy dose of history and entertainment.

Loving history as I do and living next door to Setauket, I have enjoyed every second of this series. The production values are excellent, as is the writing and the acting of that writing. This is one series I’m glad I own; this way, I can enjoy repeated viewing.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling (2007) The reason I bought a copy of the final installment of her seven-part series was because J. K. Rowling compelled me to. She offered so much and she challenged us as readers to commit ourselves to the story, that this was one (hardcover) volume I wanted for my library. I've read all of them, but only owned the first and in paperback. I leant it out to a curious reader and she must still be curious because she hasn't given it back. But my curiosity was peaked as well. I thought book six, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" would be the beginning of the end, so to speak. I thought she'd begin to tie up story lines that had been running for six previous volumes. Instead, she opened new story lines, making her job all the harder for the concluding volume. She raised the bar so high, she made it nearly impossible to clear it. The revelation she had in that British Rail coach one day seventeen years ago was unbelieveably complete. Like many others, I had read where the last word was "scar" and she had written the final chapter first and secured it in a bank vault somewhere in the United Kindgom. I wanted to see if her written conclusions were the same as her thought-through conclusions ~ and it seems they were. After book seven was released, I saw an interview she did where she was asked if the final book was as she thought it would be. It was, she replied, nearly 3/4 of it (especially the ending) was. (She also said her sister told her if she (J.K.) killed off Hagrid, she'd never talk to her again.) Many have complained that the Epilogue was unnecessary and was a bit damaging to the story. I don't stand in that camp. I think so many want to know what happened to Harry, Ron and Hermione, Rowling felt it necessary to tack on a segment to expolain the future. Because she knew there would be no Book Eight, "Harry Potter and the Geriatric Demon," she had to end it where and how she did. And so will I. Many have criticized the Harry Potter series as being less of a work than J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring/Middle Earth series. Well, as one who could not read about hobbits and Orcs and the perils of the Baggins family, I eagerly picked up very volume of Rowling's. In time, I think her series and her status as a writer will be equal to ~ if not greater than ~ Tolkien or Philip Pullman and his "His Dark Materials" series. She is not just a great writer of children's and young adult literature. No, she is a greater writer. Period. Thank you, Ms. Rowling, for challenging and entertaining and engaging me for the past 8+ years. It was worth all 4125 hardcover pages. Well done.
