Harry Potter is pretty easy reading. It flows very well and before you know it, you're flying right through. I've read all of them in under a day (individually) , and from The Prisoner of Azkaban on I read them in their entirety the day I got my hands on them. I finished this one in a little under 6 hours, but in hindsight, I probably should've been rereading some sections.

I'm glad I read it, but it was a big departure from the rest of the series. Without Hogwarts to hold the plot together, it didn't seem to flow as nicely as the earlier books did. I also wish their had been more hinting at the Deathly Hallows earlier in the series, as halfway though the final book of a seven book series seems pretty late to introduce such a big part of the plot. I'm not sure if the back story on Dumbledore needed to be so depressing either. Also, I didn't like the identity of the final Horcrux. It seems a little bit absurd to me, as making a Horcrux is mentioned to be very difficult that it could happen accidentally. However, with the circumstances it happened with are pretty unique, so I guess I'm okay with it.

EDIT:

I'm in agreement with George in that the final battle was written to be an excellent movie sequence.
