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

July 23, 2007, 12:00 am

I was captured by the Harry Potter phenomenon a little after The Goblet of Fire came out (pre-dating this list), but I have been an avid fan ever since.

The speculation, waiting and anticipation has been a constant companion for such a long time that, now all's done, I wouldn't have been surprised if the departure of those feelings had left a void. It isn't so. That potential void has been filled with a satisfying elegant sufficiency. I felt, as I read the book, that I had in my hands, all the answers and that they could not have been revealed to me in a more enjoyable way. JKR has said that "Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series.", and I couldn't agree more.

Voyage of the Raisonable from The Mauritius Command complete

July 19, 2007, 12:00 am

The voyage of Commodore Jack Aubrey in command of the aging HMS Raisonable is mapped. This map presented considerable and frequent dilemas, but I hope wherever possible I have stayed true to the cannon. For these maps around the islands, I had to rely on a fair amount of guesswork when choosing the course, but hopefully my guesses are at least plausible. As always, I would welcome any comments or suggestions.
