Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3 Audio CD)

Summary: Enjoyable if not a tad formulaic.
Review: When I picked up the first book of this series to read I had just finished a stephen king novel and scoffed at the idea that a "Childrens" book could entertain me. So I sarted to read skepticly and needless to say I was hooked. I finished the thing in about three hours and was instantly looking for more. I ordered the next book and my life didn't seem complete until I the ups man delivered it and I got a chance to devour it. And now with my completion of the third book I must applaud Rawling for her brilliant uses of imagry and characterization that authors who write more serious novels can only hope to achieve. This proved to me that guns, violence and, other things like that weren't necessarily the makings of a good book. My only slight beef with this book (and it's two prequeling stories) is that they are a tad formulaic. Regardless however this is a masterfull book and is enjoyable regardless of your tastes.

Summary: Harry just gets better and better!
Review: When I read Chamber of Secrets, I said to myself "J.K. Rowling can't possibly write anything better than this!"! Boy, was I wrong! Prisoner of Azkaban is better than the first two put together! One of the best books I've ever read! Once again, mysteries and plot twists keep readers guessing until the very last chapter! Rowling is a genius! I can't wait for the next Harry Potter!!!!!

Summary: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Review: When I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I am taken into Harry's world and all train of real life thought seems to cease from my imagination. In case one has not heard, Harry Potter is a wizard whose parents were murdered when he was only a baby. Harry was then forced to live with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley who all treat him like trash because they think his parents, as well as him, are weird because of their wizard abilities. All is well though for Harry is back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and yet another journey begins.
I personally give this book five stars because its one of the few books that keeps me interested throughout the entire text. I think this is due do the magical an creative mind of J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
J.K. Rowling completely came up of this entire world of Harry Potter in her head which alone, awes me. But its not just the creative thought that keeps me on edge, it's the very descriptive thoughts she backs them up with. Even the simplest thing can have so much detail in the Harry Potter series.
One other thing that I love about this book is that it, as well as the rest of the series, introduces so many new characters and objects (the Firebolt, Crookshanks, Lupin) just when you though that it was impossible to come up with anymore. J.K. Rowling also teaches us things about the characters (who/what Scabbers is) that we (the reader) have known for years, even when we thought there was nothing else to learn about them.
I think Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is an exceptional book and I recommend it to all interested.

Summary: I thought they couldn't get any better!
Review: When I read the first 2 Harry Potter books... WOW. But the third one just blows them away! It is amazing! I absolutely loved the first 2, and the third one has got to be at least 3 times better than the others. J.K. Rowlings continues to amaze me. As for the parents worried about the witchcraft scene: Don't. It's not dark magic, and it's not something that your kids will try out or anything- it's more of the practical kind of magic, i.e., herbology: take willow trees. You put two kinds of acid together, and what do you get? Salycilic Acid, which helps headaches- also known as aspirin. I strongly recommend you read these before banning them from your household.

Summary: The Magical Harry In All Of Us
Review: When I read the first Harry Potter book I was stunned someone could write like that. It was so good I was mad, after reading No. 2, that I had to wait a week to get No. 3. I truely think I will cry if J.K. Rowlling stops on her seventh book. I just hate to say it to those people who critized Harry, but they're right. To anyone who knows anything about literature, the book is probably worth around 20 and 30 dollars. The only book that has really brought tears to my eyes or smiles to my lips is Harry Potter. Keep soaring J.K. Rowlling.

Summary: They just get better!!!
Review: When I read the first Harry Potter book, I thought that books could get no better. Then I read the second one and It was better. I read the third one and it was better still. Each book has more excitment, mystery, and adventure than the one written before it.

Summary: Better than the first two!
Review: When I read the first two Harry Potter, I thought it would be extremely difficult for the author to conjure up a story that would equal their charm! I am glad that I was wrong! The third book was better than the other two. The series had taken a more serious turn giving a deeper insight to the characters. The confrontation between Voldemort and Harry seems more powerful and meaningful. I can't wait to read the forth book! I wish the author would write these books faster so I won't go insane for a year! Thanks Rowlings for writing such an entrancing series! Keep up the good work!

Summary: The best book in the Harry Potter series!
Review: When I read the last two books, I thought they would be the best books that I would ever read but I was wrong!!! The fact is that this last book was the best of the three. I knew it was coming out some time in advance (the launch date in the UK was 8 July of this year). I and all my friends had reserved a copy each - or in some cases two. We were not disappointed as we followed Harry on his most exciting adventure yet. I highly recommend this book to all readers.

Summary: The best of all of them
Review: When I read the third book I would get angry at anyone who interupted me. Basically I believe this would be one of the books people would like the most because it is when Harry learns that he might get a chance on leaving the Dursleys. What happened the night before the murder? Who is the tired young mysterious yet nice teacher? All explained in this book.
I learned from a chat room that J.K. Rowling really like this book the best because of Lupin, who happens to be her favorite character.
In hope the fifth book will be good, we will learn new and more amazing things. We will learn why the name of the fifth book is called the Order of the Phoenix, which also means the Order of Immortality.
All in all, the series are a great read.
