Endings

I just finished the final Harry Potter book. I won't spoil the ending but the book is a great read, the ending is well executed and I'm very happy with the way Rowling has finished off my decade of reading.

I have also got round to reading the final book in the Hitchikers guide to the galaxy series of five books. I enjoyed the book but it is a very dour way to end the series and a lot of the characters from the first four books do not feature and are brushed aside. Douglas Adams admitted that he wrote the book during a bad year for him and it shows. If he hadn't died suddenly I'm sure he would have rounded his story off a bit better with another volume.
