Rating: Summary: A lot better than year 4 Review: I feel in year four there was to much details in the middle of the book where year 3 was so much more fun and lively!
Rating: Summary: Where was Rowling when I was a kid? Hmmm? Review: I feel lucky that I never outgrew children's books. But then I feel sorryfor all the people my age (and older) who think they have. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that when I was ten or twelve, there weren't books as perfect as these. There weren't 400-page novels that spoke to me like a person instead of like a child, with characters who were people and just happened to be children. There damn well should have been.
Rating: Summary: It was a great mystery filled with a magical imagination. Review: I felt that this book was the best one in the series. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the great imagination of the author in his magical description of the magic that involves harry potter. It was also a great mystery.
Rating: Summary: My favorite Harry Potter book Review: I finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". I started reading it last weekend and recently finished the third book last night. So far, I felt this was my favorite in the popular Harry Potter series (I still have to read the fourth book "The Goblet of Fire"). As much as I enjoyed reading "The Chamber of Secrets", I really didn't think that it captivated me nearly as much as "The Prisoner of Azkaban" did. Even JK Rowlings recently admitted on tv that "The Prisoner of Azkaban" was her favorite book to write. She even mentioned that it gave subtle hints to what to expect for the sixth Harry Potter book. I think the reason I enjoyed reading "The Prisoner of Azkaban" so much was that it gave some glimpse into Harry's past. He is tormented by the last moments of his late mother when the dementors taunt Harry which tortures him emotionally. Overall the writing by JK Rowling was simply some of her best work I had ever read. I like the first two books and "The Order of the Phoenix" but I has to say she really does an amazing job on "The Prisoner of Azkaban". I can't wait to start reading "The Goblet of Fire". Anyone who can get millions of children (and adults) to turn off the idiot box (i.e the television) is simply brilliant and that is JK Rowlings.
Rating: Summary: a magical world Review: I finally got bitten by the Harry Potter bug after seeing the movie, which both me and my father went to see and by the way it is excellent and a must see. After the movie we were both interested in reading the books. I myself have read one through three within six days, and I must say ms. Rowling is a very talented author. I enjoyed them tremensly and I think I enjoyed number three the most. And for all of those who read number three, did you catch how Harry potter had see that his prediction come true about the hippogriff? In fact both his and p. trelawney was correct. The ending was wonderful, and I am now trying to get my hands on number four to whats next. I hope Ms. Rowling will continue more Harry Potter books
Rating: Summary: Prisoner of Azkaban is by the greatest of the three! Review: I finally got the 3rd book, and read it within two days, and now I just can't wait till 4th book hits the shelves. Harry, Herimone, and Ron are just the greatest of friends. Actually, all the characters are so interesting even Prof. Snape, but I'm sad to see Lupin leave Hogwarts. I had hoped Dumbledore would have toalked him into staying on. When is the next book coming out! Hurry!
Rating: Summary: A Fan Review: I find that the Harry Potter series is the greatest series of books written, since Nancy Drew, or The Vampire Chronicles. Harry Potter is a great series,J.K. Rowling is one of the most incredible writers of all time. I cannot wait until the next book comes out. Harry Potter is greater than any other series in the world, despite what the '(Other) People' say.
Rating: Summary: Another Potter triumph Review: I find the consistency of Rawlings supperior story telling amazing. In this story we learn many of the details that led to the death of Harry's parents and what they were like at school. Once agian I was continually asking myself who done it and why and the answers left no dissapiontments. Another briliant chapter in the Harry Potter universe and I am all to anxious for the next book to become avaliable. For eveyone to enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book!! Review: I first purchased The Sorcerer's Stone back in January because the cover really drew me in. I thought it was beautiful and when i read the plot summary it sounded pretty good. After buying it and reading it I fell in love with these books. I quickly purchased the second book when it came out and loved that one even more. Now, after buying this book the day it came out and finishing the next day it's safe to say that I am a Harry Potter fan for life. I feel that this book is the most personal of the three. You get a small backgroun of Harry's life that I am hoping JK Rowling will develop a little more in the next book.I am recommending these books to everyone I know. I have everyone in my office reading them. It's funny to see my co-workers all bring their copies of the books into the office. What's more, no one in our office has kids. If these books can hold the attention of several 20-somethings then you know these books have to be good. Everyone should read them regarless of age.
Rating: Summary: Most excellent stories Review: I first read Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. I was so intrigued with the story that I went to amazon.com to see what other stories that J.K. Rowling had written and it was there that I learned about the first Harry Potter book and the soon to be released third book. I immediately ordered the first book and was on pins a needles while waiting for it in the mail. It only took three days but that was a long three days. Now I am reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I find it hard to put down. The things that Harry and his friends Ron and Hermoine get into takes me back to when I was a kid and makes me wish that I was a wizard growing up going to Hogwarts school. I have just recently under gone surgery and I am pretty much confined to the bed right now so I have a lot of time to read. I read until my eyes are too tired and then I still have trouble closing this book. Can't wait until the next one comes out. I definately will buy the next four. Thank you J.K. Rowling for such wonderful stories. You are a wonderful writter and I look forward to reading many more of your books.
