Rating: Summary: Great, But Not The Best Overall Review: This book is full of action. Every where Harry goes there is something new popping up. I give this book a 5 star because it is the bast fiction book I have ever read ( this does not include Harry Potter 1,2,and 3) I do recommend you go to your bookstore, or Amazon.com, and buy it. The people that think this book is a bad book, NO, they are just scared that if they read it then it could happen. Or they don't believe in magical stuff, but if you are like that I recommend that you order this book, and give it a chance. Almost everybody in the US has this novel. BUY IT, READ IT, it is not that hard. And if you don't want to start at book #4 then buy book #1. and work your way up. The first time I started reading these books, I was just board and saw a coppy on the back in school and saw a coppy on the back shelf. I started reading it and I felt like I had to finish the book that day, that is how good it is. Good Luck on choosing, and I hope I was a help.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter Goblet of Fire Review: I thought the book was great and i loved all the books you made. I thought the book was exiting and hoorer blood shed and great to read. Some of the kids in my class say that it was too hard to handel when i started to read it i got hooked. I could not let go of the book.....
Rating: Summary: I couldn't put this one down! Review: In July of 2000 this book was first released and I wondered what all the fuss was about. As a 40 year old adult I wondered who on earth is Harry Potter? My curiosity piqued, I picked up the paper copy of Book 1 and finally start to read it in mid January. It is now mid February and I just finished Book 4, Goblet of Fire. All I can say is Ms. Rowling really knows how to spin a yarn! This was the first time in years I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning with a book on a work night because I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. And the illiustrations are wonderful as well. I am so hooked! This delightful series of books brings back memories of my own childhood when you were smaller than everyone else and had to deal with mean teachers and other adults on their level. These books have everything: mystery, drama, pathos, evil relatives, rotten teachers, school bullies and the feeling of flying you get when something in your school child life FINALLY goes right! I will be among the people pre-ordering Book 5 from Amazon when it is avaliable and be standing in the line at the movie theatre in November! Lastly, I'd like to say THANK YOU to Ms. Rowling for giving us a wonderful story that you can read to your grandmother as well as your three year old. Harry Potter is the son we all wish we could have or the child we wish we could have been. By the end of this book I wish I could have traded places with Mrs. Weasley and hugged Harry myself! P.S. And I wish I could administer a nice swift kick to the nether regions of Harry's Aunt and Uncle Dursley. What horrid people! They deserve whatever they get from Harry's magical friends!
Rating: Summary: Same Stuff Review: I have read every book so far and to me they are all the same basically. I did think that they were exciting but after a while reading about a school for wizards is sort of boring, especially when there are books about wizards who aren't always getting "a burning pain in their forehead" around. I mean come on how many times has that happened in the books? otherwise I like them.
Rating: Summary: A Harry Potter Fan highly sastisfacted Review: When I got my copy of ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' my first impresion was to be surprised at the sizee of it. I thought it could be somehow boring. However, it was great. J.K. Rowling showed us again that, with imagination, everything is possible. The storyline is great, but I can tell you only a thing: missing this book would mean missing a great adventure.
Rating: Summary: SO SO GOOD! Review: it is a great book for people who like mystical type of books. It is Harry's 4th book at hogwarts. the author, J.K. Rowling makes you see what your reading so, READ IT!
Rating: Summary: Rowling just seems to get better with every book Review: This is the fourth book of the series and if you have not read the first three I would recommend you to buy them. Goblet of Fire is the latest of the series and the most enjoyable. I just can't wait for the fifth book.
Rating: Summary: Rowling does it again! Review: I love Harry Potter, as do many members of my family. This is my favorite so far, although it is a bit darker than the previous. I would suggest reading the three previous before you read this one, it will help you understand things much better! Do not let the 'size' of this book daunt you. I overheard one woman in the bookstore saying it 'looked like Clancy's Bear and the Dragon'. This books reads very quickly, and believe you me, you will not be able to put it down!
Rating: Summary: Not as expertly paced but still a riveting read Review: Things take a dark turn at Hogwarts in this 4th and latest installment of Rowling's phenomenal Harry Potter series. It is also twice as long as its predecessors. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. While the climax is riveting - and very frightening - I felt there were moments scattered throughout the book that somewhat dragged. I didn't have this complaint with the other three. Still I kept turning the pages, desperately wanting to know what was going to happen next. Rowling introduces plenty of new characters - Professor "Mad Eye" Moody is a really welcome addition - and continues to flesh out such familiar ones as Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, and - of course - Harry, who at fourteen is starting to come of age. This novel also features the rather horrific - and I suppose inevitable - death of another fairly major player. Rowling continues to impress me with her seemingly limitless creativity. I continued to be surprised and delighted ... and also rather repulsed by some of her less savory characters and incidents. A storm is definitely gathering and I look forward to seeing where things lead in the fifth and subsequent volumes.
Rating: Summary: Some Things Aren't "Cool",Just OK Review: Alex again. Chapter Eight, The Quidditch World Cup, well, Ireland isn't my type. But I must say, that book was very, very,very adventurous. I mean The Triwizard Tournament... (Ect.)
