Liked it, but didn't love it. I doesn't have the heart of, say, Monsters, Inc.

I really liked this book, maybe better than the others. But I can hardly see how Rowling will be able to tie up all the threads she has put in place in just one more book.

Like the Matrix trilogy, just pretend that the second and third movies never happened. Very sweet after-the-credits extra scene.

Less satisfying than the last. The longer they get, the harder it is to convey the nuances and the emotional content, and this one does a lousy job of both. Very unsatisfying. I look forward to the day that the Peter Jackson franchise takes these on and does them right.

I just didn't care for it. Tries too hard to be mystical, misses the most interesting story possiblities, and then ends with absurdity.

Really pretty interesting, particularly in its discussion of the technological and bureaucratic states of mind. Dated, of course, but thought-provoking anyway.

Contains numerous concrete suggestions for improving meetings, though by the end of the book I was overwhelmed. Best approached, I suppose, but trying one thing and then adding another thing once that was evaluated. Of possible use for someone who runs a lot of meetings.

I like action films, but this one is too long, and sort of dull.

Well, neither of the sequels is as good at the first, but this is a smart, well-crafted action film and a great series [spoilers]. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Wow. Rough, and truly heartbreaking in places (I guessed ages ago, but it's so much sadder than I imagined), with a satisfying ending. A little slow during the first half, but stick with it. I'm sorry to see this series end.
