Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) book review

Hello my fellow readers,
The book i am reviewing is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" by J.K.Rowling.
I rated this book 4.5 stars.
I believe J.K.Rowling finished off the Harry Potter series really well. There was a lot going on but it was still easy to understand. It is full of twists, turns and heart pumping scenes. Every page is interesting and i couldn't put the book down. In this final book i could actually see the character development in every character. This was one big adventure i will never forget.

Short Summary:
Harry, now sixteen years old, nears maturity in the wizarding community and begins to experience the complexities of adult life. He tackles much more difficult lessons at school, matures in his understanding of evil in the world, and even finds love during this eventful year at Hogwarts. Rowling delves deeply into Voldemort's past, and examines the path that takes a young, orphaned Tom Riddle and turns him into the most evil wizard in History. Harry studies his path under the guidance of a more forth coming Albus Dumbledore, and he learns how long and difficult his journey will be to defeat the Dark Lord.
