Summary: Only bad when it ends........
Review: I was pretty excited when the book finally found it's way into my hands since I like many other have been waiting for a couple of years for this 5th installment in the Harry Potter series, and thankfully, this book does not disapoint. Whereas some of the other books prior to this one had started to become stale starting off the same way, with Harry being mistreated by his "family", this book kicks off the action straight away getting right into the mood of things with Harry finding himself and his cousin Dudley in peril right off the bat. The book however does not let up there and start to fade off, no, this book continues the pace and keeps things interesting. The only thing people might find irritating at first is how moody Harry has become, he seems to lose his temper at the littlest things constantly yelling about minor things. However, when we read further into the novel, the sudden change of personality in Harry becomes apparent and makes the plot and story all that more interesting. Without giving too much away, I'd have to say this book does not disapoint, it may look huge, and it is, however, the one thing that I would say really got to me is how the book ended, it was a bit rushed, however, the way it ended also sets the mood for the next book, so all in all, this book was a great success and I encourage all of you, lover or hater of the series, to pick this one up right away and read it.

Review: I just got it in the mail (Thank You Army Mail for taking so long!!). Anyway, this book is so interesting and the best one i have read so far. I haven't finished it yet, but i can't keep my eyes off it; I want to know what happens next. From a soldier in Iraq, all ways in harms way, Thank you J.K Rowling for keeping this soldier's morale high.

Review: In the fifth installment of "Harry Potter", Rowling again bested her previous book. The Order of the Phoenix is a gorgeous novel, I just LOVED it!

Summary: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoeinx
Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was an excellent book!! In my opinion it was the best Harry Potter book yet. J.K. Rowling keeps you wondering when Voldemort will surface just long enough to build suspense. The characters are changing and growing up and Rowling does an excellent job showing this! I plan to reread the book again, simply for fun!!

Summary: quite disappointing
Review: I would expect more from this book. However, the book seemed to fall into the pattern of good guy being repressed and misunderstood, the authority being ignorant, and the bad guy gradually gains his power, too typical a soap opera. By breaking the reader's heart to cover the lack of inspiration the writer used to have. I used to read into lines in previous books, since there is too much fun to skip. This highly anticipated book only took me little time to finish since i kept skipping boring details.

Summary: Long but you'll enjoy every sentence!
Review: When I first received my copy, my mouth dropped... nearly 900 pages!!! It must be the longest children's book every... to rival that of Dickens. But as I began to read the book, I noticed how fast the chapters flew by. It really is truly amazing, you'll get sucked in and you won't stop. A great read, can't wait for the next two!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: The latest addition to the Harry Potter series proved to be a captivating read. I completed it in less than 3 days. The Order of the Phoenix effectively showed the transition and changes in Harry's life. In it, he had to face grown up issues like dealing with the truth of his past, what his present life meant, and the expectations of him in the future. Somehow, his life does not only entails dealing with the stresses of schoolwork, friendship and relationships. The adult aspect of the wizarding world is brought in more prominently in the form of the intervention of the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts. We are also brought into other areas of the wizarding world previously unknown like the MoM, St Mungo's Hospital etc. However, I felt that the length was slightly long and the pace slow in some parts. The descriptions of the various places and scenes were well-written, effectively bringing us into the story. Although, I felt that they pulled down the pace as the progress of the story was hindered by the in-depth descriptions. One highlight of the book was definitely the Weasley twins. Their antics never fail to crack me up! They brought in some light-heartedness amidst the dark setting of the book. An enjoyable read and I can't wait for book 6!!

Summary: no title
Review: This book was not the best in the series, my favorite being the third one, but it was very good. The plot was very interesting and started up right where the last book left off. My favorite character dies which I didn't like. Otherwise, good.

Summary: WONDERFUL read!!
Review: I was not in the least bit disappointed with this latest installment in the Harry Potter series. In fact, it might be my new favorite. Absolutely couldn't put it down. I love Harry's new teenager attitude, and lots of questions were answered, leaving the story open for more interesting twists and turns in the future. Only downside--I don't know how I'll wait for the next one.
