I loved it. It is a better than the Goblet of fire book. I enjoyed the ending. I hope you would like it and rate it a 5. So read it. Good Luck! I suggest if you read starting with the first book first.

I mostly liked the Chamber of Secrets though this one is good too.

I absolutley love it... I just finished the siries and I think Harry Potter:And the Prisoner of Azkaban was the best book out of the whole sieries... no in the whole world!!! Thank-you J.K Rowling for publishing the best books I have ever read!
Loretta (12/24/02)

All the Harry Potter books are fabulous, this rather darker book starts off with some sort of *spell* which makes you want to read on:) It's misterious and a great read, though I perfer the chamber of secrets as i dont like one of the charaters Cho Chang, I love this book and sugest you read it -^-

i loved it

It is not as good as Goblet of fire of it is too tense and dark . moreover i show the dark sides of harry potter Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is consider as the second weakest book
..... (content removed by BookBrowse as it contained plot spoilers)....When I am reading this book, my heart overwhelmed with darkest, also it have the 'spell ' which hook me to read the book from the first sentence to the last..
The story is better in the beginning part but when t came to the middle when it suppose to be the important part of the story , it seems that it is too tense and dark .Moreover, I thinks this is the only book of others Harry Potter series ,which is the most complex one and therefore young reader may not like this . Whereas , compare to the Harry Potter and the Globet of fire , which I considered as the best books of all , as it is very thrilling and mature , it may seem Harry potter and the Azkaban is just not good enough .On the whole , it is still consider as a good novel as there is many unexpected things like black is actually not the one who betrayed his father but wormtail.A unexpected , special and good story , show J.k rowling should be the best author in the world to me.
