Rating: Summary: A good book - if you can see it apart from the hype Review: Almost unversally known as "the third Harry Potter Book" and not by its forgettable title, this one continues the adventures of the world's favorite wizard with another huge tome of slightly darker hue. These books are going to keep getting longer and darker - by the end it will be Dostoevsky! But seriously folks, I want the adults out there to ask themselves - are you reading these books because you like them and are genuinely interested in children's literature, or are you reading them because everybody else seems to be doing it? Why not actually choose what you want to read, rather than blindly read whatever seems to be "hot"? There are an awful lot of books out there!
Rating: Summary: READ THIS! OR ELESE! Review: Althoug I think the first was the best.This one still derserves 5 stars. Now I'll focus on the plot here. You should the first one first and second second and so on. Harry Potter the underage wizard and his fellow friends Ron and Hermonie. Find out the truth of who really killed Harrys parants. And to find out who you might as well read it!
Rating: Summary: This one's the BEST! Review: Although all the Harry Potter books are fabulous, I have to say this one is my favorite. To me, what's interesting in the Harry Potter story is the human side, rather than the wizard side.....his life, the things he's endured--and the chain of events that has made his life the way it is. This book really brings home a lot of those issues, and a lot of insight into the "past" of the series' story--it's a must-read and I guarantee you won't be able to put it down!
Rating: Summary: Five Star Book, like all of the Harry Potter's Review: Although I thought "Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire" was better because it was twice as big and twice as much fun reading, there is no way I could give this book anything less than five stars. It has a great story line like all of them, very descriptive, funny, and an exciting thriller that everyone has to read! It's the third book in the Harry Potter series and Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione are in there third year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft & Wizardary. There is a murderer on the loose called Sirius Black trying to kill Harry. You'll have to read the rest and find out about what happens in this adventurous story. It's a must-read for everyone, even if you hate reading, but be sure to read "Harry Potter & The Sorcerers Stone" and "Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets" before in that order because it's a series.
Rating: Summary: The best thing to happen to children's literature! Review: Although I'm a huge fan of Joanne Rowling, I'm reluctant to be ANOTHER person to give a glowing review this book. This is definitey the most exciting thing to happen to children's literature for many years! I've become a huge fan, and I hope the movie is many years down the road as not to spoil the excitement over the book series. From the beginning to the end, this book works its way to a perfect climax!I am constantly talking about this book to my friends and family, and I have won over quite a few to a reawakening in their interest in literature (both adult and childrens themes). Even though I feel this is the best of the three, I don't feel that it would make as much sense if you missed the first two, although it is possible. I hope all people will read this book as soon as possible, and PLEASE don't wait for the movie...although is isn't that far away.
Rating: Summary: Superb Review: Although I'm a little out of the age range for the Harry Potter series, I must say that they are hugely entertaining - funny, exciting and a little poignant. These books cannot be recommended too highly.
Rating: Summary: It is a good book Review: Although this book isn't as great as the other books in this series, it is still pretty good. It is about Harry going to Hogwarts and finding out that some guy named Sirius Black wants to kill him. It is filled with surprises.
Rating: Summary: Not the best Review: Although this does keep you up late into the night and you can't put it down, it doese have some drawbacks. The plot is pretty predictable. I knew that Harry would save the day and be the hero. It is the same for the last two books. There is some form of dark magic going on at Hogwarts, and Harry comes along saves the day. I wish that it would have some unpredictable twist at the end, like for once he isn't succesful. My choice between Harry Potter or a good old classic like Tom Sayer, I would go with the classic. The thing that aggrivates me the most though is the fact that I haven't found anyone else who challenges this series. People just assume that if its Hary Potter, its one the best books of all time
Rating: Summary: At last- a modern classic which deserves the name! Review: Although to review this book (already known and adored by so many) would seem futile if not redundant, I enjoyed the book so much that again I cannot resist the temptation to enthuse about it on Amazon.com. The third in the series not only manages to be an excellent continuation of the previous two, but an innovatively brilliant work in its own right. The setting is the same, the characters familiar- but nowhere does the author succumb to trotting out a 'formula' book. The third book has darker overtones than the first two- but that may be because the truly frightening characters of the book are not only terrifying in their own right, but are tools of the forces of good rather than of evil. Not everything can be resolved by the end of the book- not even Dumbledore force others to see the truth- and the stage seems to be being set for a greater confrontation to come even as the third book's story draws to a close. But aside from the story itself, Rowling's prose is also an excellent example of its kind. And she displays almost the same gleeful, eccentric nomenclatural creativity as did Lewis, continuing his tradition of linguistcally delightful names perfectly suited to the characters who bear them. To expound upon the significance of such names as Remus Lupin or Sirius Black would reveal more than ought to be revealed to those who have not read the book, but even names such as Albus Dumbledore or Severus Snape are perfectly chararctaristic of the bearer and 'have it in them to please the wiser sort'. Entertaining and substantial, humorous without being fluffy, deep without being confusing, dark without being morbid, prfoundly moral yet never preachy- the books are in fact classics for a new generation and will doubtless be read with the same delight by the children and grandchildren of today's youngest readers.
