Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful book, crashing all controversy
Review: IF anyone thought that Harry Potter books were bad for children, then they should read this one. It is more sensitive, less wizardy. I think that this series is perfectly fine for someone anywhere between nine through adults. It is a enchanting book, about one little brave boy. It's very intruiging.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Book 2. More Menacing and Emotional Than Before.
Review: If Book One was the Introduction and Book Two was the Continuation of that, Book Three is the emotional highpoint of the three.

"Prizoner of Azkaban" is a longer book, and justifiably so. The story takes on a scope not seen in previous books, and it delves more deeply into Harry Potter's own, sad history.

In the story, a well-known murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped the wizard's prison of Azkaban after he is heard muttering, "He is at Hogwarts." Harry Potter has already dealt with exciting adventure in his first two years of school, but nothing can prepare him for what awaits in his third as the whole wizarding world rallies to try and stop Black from reaching Harry. Harry will find that some things cannot be stopped once they are set into motion, and this book does well to continually make that point.

More emotional and more frightening than the previous books, "Prizoner of Azkaban" is the best book of the first three. It is, once again, very well written in Rowling's mannered prose, and the characters are all tested in ways that illuminates their increased maturity. If you liked the first two books, there is literally no reason why you would not like Book Three. Rumor had it that Steven Spielberg wanted to film Book Three, as it was the story that touched him the most. Judging by the intense scenes in "Azkaban," it's no wonder he liked that one best.

Do yourself a favor, and buy this book. If you haven't read Book's One and Two, read those first, but promise yourself to read Book Three. It will be worth your while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book worm from Fort Myers,FL- this is the BEST!
Review: If I could I would give this book the universe of stars I would! I got the 1st book for my birthday and then devoured the rest! Now I have quite a few friends who are also waiting far the 4th book . Does any one have a clue on what it's called?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The third book is the best yet!
Review: If I found the second entry into the Harry Potter books a bit less appealing than the first one, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, or the third title in this series, is a worthy addition to the Harry Potter books.

Once again the wonderful characterizations of Harry and his friends we've come to know and love are present along with some very well drawn new characters. In addition there is also a wonderful plot featuring an old family friend of the Potter's who is a key character to Harry's past. As the summer ends, Harry can't wait to leave his aunt and uncle's home and return to his friends and the Hogwarts School. Unfortunately, when another aunt comes to visit, Harry is angered enough by her to perform some dark magic and flees the house in the middle of the night. At the same time, a prisoner, Sinius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and suddenly Harry is being warned to be on the lookout for this notorious prisoner who supposedly killed his parents. How Sinius fits into Harry's past, why somebody among Harry's friends appears to be a traitor, how and why wizards turn into animals, and finally how it all ends is what awaits readers of this book.

As usual J.K. Rowling sends her fans on a roller coaster ride as chills run up and down ones spine, sighs are heard during poignant moments and smiles are on readers faces as they close the book. And surely once you've reaed this book you won't be able to wait too long until you pick up Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

A first rate book for children and adults alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Three cheers!
Review: If it wasn't enough that Rowling offered us escape in books one and two, book three of the Harry Potter series once again delights and enriches the lives of readers the world around. Here is a series that is open and truthful, and a real breath of fresh air for those who consider themselves serious readers. The wide-spread appeal of Rowling's books is not just a hype - these truly are books that anyone can enjoy. Revisit the inner child and bring to life the magic inside you. Though the Prisoner of Azkaban has been described as the darkest of the Potter books, it is still a pure delight to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST of the series... MISSSter potter...
Review: If someone had told me that this book was the climax of the storyline... I wouldn't have believed them. But this book is amazing. Here, for the first time, the Harry Potter books take a wildly darker spin on the events of their world...

And Harry learns that sometimes the world just can't be fair to people.

It begins as Harry is visited by "The Grim," a very evil, dark hound. The twists and turns of the story are enough to drive you mad - and then you realize that NOTHING is what it seems.

If I sound like a child who's just gotten an overdose of sugar, well, let's just say that this book is that good.

But remember, once you've read this book, there's no turning back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Book 3- You have to read it!
Review: If you aren't already hooked on the Harry Potter Series, you are seriously missing out! This book, book three of the ongoing Harry saga, is my personal favorite. Before reading this book, however, you might want to pick up the other two first. After that, why not get the fourth, so you won't be waiting on the edge of your seat like so many (myself included) Harry fans.

In this book, Harry learns some surprising things about his parents and his past. He, Hermione, and Ron delve into a mystery that he must solve if he wants to know the truth.

Delightful new characters join the party in this great book, and our favorite trio befriends many. Unfortunately, something happens that begins to form the next book, something that could change Harry's whole world.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You smell that
Review: If you can you must have this book near by. It was so horible I did not want to get past Chapter 5 But I suffered through it. The first 2 books were ok but this one you must be a die hard fan to read it, and I mean a real die hard. I really disliked the Sirius Black person. Plus it just was not that exciteing to me at least. But if you are about 10 it might seem a little better. If you want to read a truly good book with wizards in it read J.R.R. Tolken's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful reading for all ages!
Review: If you ever dream about flying on a broomstick, or think up potions to give to your worst enemy, this book is for you! Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are at it again in their third year at Hogwarts when a prisoner of Azkaban plans to kill Harry (or so everyone thinks). Like the other two Harry Potter books,it will want you reading untill the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome back to your imagination
Review: If you have forgotten what it was like to read a book as a child, soaring through your imagination and reading for hours, Harry Potter is a must-read. As well as being well-written, it is, more importantly, a compelling thriller, with superb characterisation and inventive escapades. It is a book that reminds one why we read books in the first place - for pleasure. You don't have to worry when you've finished it about how you will describe it to discerning punters at the next dinner party. Just sit back, read and enjoy.
