It was probably one of the best books in the entire series. I believe that it is better than the second book and almost as good as the first. The plot clues are well-placed and tie in with the eventual ending, but they don't give away the ending before it is time. The plot clues are similar to the first, second and fourth books. It is the book that I can't help but read over and over again. Spectacular!

It had an excellent plot, story line that kept me in suspense. J K Rowling has done another excellent job

i think its complex and adventureous plot is set to prove j.k rowling as the genius she really is, no longer just a childrens storybook writer, but a woman who can adapt her creativity to suit all tastes. i, personally couldnt put the book down and was literally riveted by its characters, and the wonderful, magical world of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. the prisoner of azkaban was a fantastic and extremely original follow up novel to the philosophers stone(in which the movie does no justice) and the equally inspirational chamber of secrets. this book enters the reader into a far maturer atmosphere, which i found far more appealing.


excellent storyline coulndnt put it down

The book was great - they get better and better as they go on. I can't wait to read the fourth book.

This book was great, and I have to aggree with Janette. You must be pretty sad to think that reading the ingrediance on a shampoo bottle is more interesting than Harry Potter!
