Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: I really loved this book. It was awesome! Not only did it have the same adventure, humor, and suspense as the other two books did, it introduced some new characters and a very good storyline. You find out more to the whole Voldemort story, on top of all that. I'm collecting the whole set, and can't wait to get my hands on the new one!
Rating: Summary: Just as good as the last = VERY GOOD. Review: I realy liked "Harry Potter and The Prizoner Of Azkaban". J. K. Rowling can produce something so great time after time. She has an amazing way of writing, I try to predict what will happen but it will always be something completely different and suprising to what you ever imagined. Unlike most people "The Chamber Of Secrets" is still my favorite but this is just as good. A must read for all.
Rating: Summary: Hopelessly Addicted to Harry Review: I recently purchased this book in it's audio version for a long (9hrs) car trip on the recommendation of friends. I had experienced Harry Potter through film for the first 2 installments and thought this might be a good way to enjoy the third and "check" the movie/book translation to see how accurately they portray the book on screen. I was blown away. I admit the movies were fun and kept my interest but this audio unabridged experience was amazing. Jim Dale's delivery is superb! I found myself absolutely transfixed by the tale and couldn't wait to put the next cassette in as the last wound down. I immediately bought the 4th installment for the return trip and finished it in nearly one sitting/trip despite the length. This series is amazing and the audio version is just as if not more riveting and exciting as the book and/or movie versions could be. Definite thumbs up!
Rating: Summary: Can it match Tolkien? Review: I recomend everybody from 8 to 100 to read Harry Potter. This is probablyone of the the best book series I have ever read! I would go ahead and say that it can match The Lord of the Rings and Robert Jordan. This book has everything: Excitement, humor, good fantasy, excellent characters and a good connection with the real world. It is not just for kids, I know a 40 year old woman who is reading the books and enjoying them. The whole worlds waits in excitement forthe 8 of July when the fourth book arrives. So you should stop reading this and get your hands, fangs or claws on a copy of Harry Potter. PS. All three books are equally good.
Rating: Summary: This one of the greatest books there are! Review: I recomend this to readers of all through 9-12. Before you start you really need to read the other two books but the author makes it where you don't have to read them and still can enjoy the book. The book has a variety of characters like Ron,Herimoine,the evil Professor Snape and many more. This book is full of excitement, surprises,and adventure and thats why I liked so much and give it a five star rating. This book is really wonderful and I recomend one for every household.
Rating: Summary: What More Could You Want? Review: I remember reading the very first Harry Potter book many years ago and being completely taken in by the story's imaginative and completely original premise. The series has not disappointed me since. Now that the third film is just around the corner, I thought it would do me good to go back to the series' third book to rediscover its magic all over again.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my favorites from the series. This time, Harry returns to Hogwarts for his third year only to learn a terrible piece of news. A man named Sirius Black, who just happens to be Harry's Godfather, has escaped the prison of Azkaban. Believed to be a very dangerous murderer, many think that Black is going to try Harry the moment he gets the chance. The readers get to learn a great deal about Harry's past and about his parents. And, as in all the Potter books, the truth isn't always what it first appears to be... But Harry, as the series has thought us, isn't easily frazzled. Although his third year is disturbed by Black's escape (creatures called the Dementors, the dark and violent creatures that guard the Azkaban prison roam the school grounds, the constant threat of not knowing where Black truly is...), there is a lot more Harry needs to worry about. First of all, he wants to win the Quiddich cup. He wants to visit Hogsmeade, the only wizard town in England. And he also wants to help Hagrid save one of his mystical creature that is supposed to be executed by the end of the school year. And he still needs to study and attend all of his classes in order to graduate, even when the amount of work becomes unbearable. And, scariest of all, he still has to deal with Professor Snape's hatred. A series of new characters are introduced. We have the new wacky teacher of Diviniation, as well as Lupin, the new Dark Arts teacher (and one of my favorite characters in the book). And all the regulars we have come to love and cherish are back for one more round. This is a darker and scarier effort from Rowling's part. There are a many very intense scenes that lead to the incredible finale. It still amazes me to see how much imagination and wit Rowling has. Her books are so vividly written and so brilliantly executed that there isn't a great deal to dislike about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (or the series in its entirety for that matter). I can't to see the movie and can't wait to read the next installment in this incredible series.
Rating: Summary: Imaginaton that is the key Review: I simply love the Harry potter books. Harry potter takes kids into a world of there own where instead of math there are interesting classes such as potions and charms. When i read the harry potter books i get so wrapped up in them i feel as though I am on the hogwarts train or trying to study herbology. The chracters are funny and witty.This is THE book of the century.
Rating: Summary: A GREAT BOOK Review: I simply loved this book !! With its charcters,and plot line you think your a part of the action. If you've ever read one of J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter books you can see that she can change your point of view with just one sentence,and this book defenitly proves this,and if you have not read it your in for a treat.
Rating: Summary: Best of the Three Review: I started reading the first book after my wife had suggested it. Since this time I have read all three and just concluded "The Prisoner of Azkaban". I enjoyed it more than either of the first two and I liked each one of them. It kept me interested from the opening chapter all the through to the final page. I have already ordered the fourth book for my son (that's what I tell everyone). I get lost in the characters and can picture Hogwarts and the going ons.
Rating: Summary: Great parent/child reading! Review: I started reading the Harry Potter books because my daughter was into the first book.. she tried to explain the plot and her excitement, however, I did not seem to be able to follow her.. I picked up the first book after she finished and read all three in one weekend! great fun!
