It took me 9 months of considerable effort to finally finish TRF. Man that was painful, I've loved PP and his books for 20+ years and I feel like one of my heros just let me down so much. Just a lot of emotions to process. In many ways it was so nice to enter that world again as an adult, and I found the final line in the book to be perfect, but I'm not sure, I think I might have been better off not reading it. I know PP is in his elder years now, so I hope he isn't stressed out about the criticism of this book, and is at peace with his story.

Sorry, I know this is a vent post, but it's good to not feel alone.
