Be Smart-President Hinkley

Books are such an important part of our education. No mater if we are three or seventy-three, we are all constantly learning.
Reading is an essential part of learning about the world around us. By picking up a book, we are bringing information, new thoughts and different ways to look at things, into our mind. Instead of turning on the TV, read something. Enlighten your mind, become more educated, like President Hinkley urges us to do.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
J.K. Rowling
Random House 2007
Summary
It's Harry's last year at Hogwarts, except he's not going to Hogwarts, he's going to search for Horcurxs with Ron and Hermione. While trying to figure out where the Horcurxs are, he's being searched by Lord Voldemort and half the wizarding community. Along the way he faces challenges and decisions that most seventeen year olds don't have to face. He comes face to face with death a time or two. In the end he has to dig deep for the courage he has to have in order to defeat Lord Voldemort.

Personal Review
I listened to this one CD, and I love Jim Dale, who does the reading. He brings all the characters to life--to even more life then they already are. I loved looking from this book to the last one and see how the characters change and grow. Harry doesn't have a mentor now to answer all his questions about his job, he has to figure it out on his own, and no one else is going to tell him what to do.

Cautionary Notes
There is swearing, violence, dark magic, death, and that's about it.
