Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think it's safe to say that Harry Potter has officially jumped the shark. I've never expected great things from J.K. Rowling; she was never among the ranks of brilliant writers, but she wrote fairly well, and she wrote a story enjoyable enough to follow for the past decade... with the exception of Deathly Hallows. I'm beginning to wonder what happened to the special continuity editor they hired to keep things straight or to the copy editor. There are typos (e.g. "Barry Crouch" instead of Barty Crouch) and serious plot holes. There's a curse word in the book; I'm glad I caught it before I gave a copy of the book to my young niece so I could explain the context to her, but I almost considered not giving her a copy of the book, because it's not really appropriate for a nine year old, unlike every other book in the series. The entire book seems forced and contrived like Rowling was merely writing to fulfill a contract and not because she was passionate about Harry Potter any longer. I've been wondering if she perhaps employed ghost writers to finish the novel; The Deathly Hallows is unsatisfying, not because of what happens in the story, but because of the way the story was written.
