Summary: Not just for kids!!
Review: Okay, I admit it, I am a 32 year old legal assistant and I loved this book!! While it might not meet all the requirements for a "mature" reader, I thought it was refreshing and reminded me of what it was like to really have an imagination. So for all of you "grown-ups" out there give it a try!! Its nice to be able to get away from the adult world for a bit. :)

Summary: Harry's prisoner...
Review: Okay, I admit it. I'm hopelessly hooked on Harry Potter. I read the first and second books in this series and thought it would be hard to get much better. Well, guess again! J. K. Rowling keeps rolling out that incredible imagination of hers and takes us, head long, into Harry's most adventurous story yet. Once you start one of these books, you might as well put away what ever it was you were doing before, turn off the television and settle in---because you are set for a ride that needs your uninvited attention. I'm not even gonna give you any details of the story. Just buy this book and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!

Summary: Darker days for Harry...but still great!
Review: Okay, I admit it...I'm a 30-year-old Harry Potter fan! I just finished the third book and, happily, Rowling has done it again! I did find this one to be a bit "darker"...Harry's third year at Hogwart's doesn't seem as much fun as the first two, but he uncovers more very significant information about his father, his past, and, thus, his identity. There are some scary twists and turns, but readers won't be disappointed. Believe it or not, I read this book in one day! (Maybe I should change that to a "30-year-old very dedicated fan!") Enjoy.

Summary: Harry Potter is THE BEST!
Review: Okay, I'm a girl who has been growing up reading waaaay advanced books, and for the longest time, I've only read classics--I'd abandoned the whole childhood thing...but Harry Potter and the book's genius of an author, J.K. Rowling, really made me stop to think. After reading the Harry Potter books infinite times, I still get a really big grin on my face whenever I pick one up. "Prisoner" is the most suspenseful of them all, and it really kept me on the edge of my seat. If you haven't gotten into the Potter thing, DO! You're *never* too cool to read an absolutely corking book series like this

Summary: not just for kids
Review: Okay, so I went to the bookstore to see what this Harry Potter fuss was all about. Read the first book in the series (I'll give it a nine out of ten). Then read the second book (nine and a half out of ten). But the third in the series - Prisoner of Azkaban - is the one where Rowling's talents as a writer shine through. The last 100 or so pages of the book, has three different climaxes, each getting better and better (I won't give them away). I haven't had this much fun reading a "kids" book since Watership Down. Notice how I put the word kids in quotes - that was my very unsubtle way of saying that this is much more than just a children's story - it is one that everyone, young and old alike, can enjoy.

Summary: Read this book!
Review: Okay, some may think that I'm too old(13), but I love Harry Potter books! Book three, in perticular, was amazing. I liked the first two, but this one's defenantly my favorite, it has a great plot(as do the others) and an interesting twist at the end. Also, it gives the story to Harry's parents. I really suggest reading these books(in order is better) and especially this one. I can't waite for the forth book! You'll be surprised that its not just for kids!

Summary: Not Tolkien, but WHO CARES? FUN FUN FUN!
Review: Okay. I just finished all the Harry Potter books, and I can safely say this: Not since Roald Dahl have I had such a wonderful time reading! Don't get me wrong... oh, I enjoy literary works too (Dickens, Faulkner, etc.), but these books gave me the most FUN I have had reading in a long time. A side note: a lot of the reviews here are by kids or parents or teachers... I am none of those things, and I STILL love them! As long as you have a sense of whimsy, you will deffinitely enjoy these books. I can't wait for the rest!

Summary: Another piece of the puzzle perfectly placed
Review: On each and every single book of the Harry Potter series you find out more things about Harry and his parents' history along with him, on this one he will discovered who was the wizard that delivered his parents to Lord Voldemort, and he will play a very important role on the fourth book (which I'm still reading). The best part of the book, just like the others, is that you just can't imagine what the outcome will be, there is a whole lot of mystery and intrigue on every page and you can almost feel the tension and stress the characters are having, and even at the end you're still suffering along with Harry. Once again, like in the second book, I've read most of the bad reviews, and I didn't find anything interesting on them in order to give my comments of why I don't agree with them, so I'll just say I loved the book, the whole story is getting better and more intersting by the page, and I think I'll be finishing the fourth book in a couple of more days. My God, what am I going to do up until the fifth gets published!!!!!!

Summary: Bit wordy...sags at times...still a top class Potter
Review: On reading the first three Potter book, I am now sure that book 2 is the best of the three. This book (Prisoner of Azkaban) is still a very good Potter adventure, however, it's not as lean as the others. The dialogues sag at times, particularly between Lupin and Potter towards the end at the haunted house...where they seem to say the same things again and again...and again. Sorry I can't talk about it any more without giving the story away. From what seems to be the size of book 4 (Goblet of Fire), it's even more wordy...I think Rowling is following the wrong track...Potter books are losing their lean muscles...and are fast gaining fat.
