It was an amazing story. Out of all the Harry Potter books it is my favorite. This book has the action all readers want in a book.

I am a teacher and we read it aloud in class...my students are completely hooked. We've read the previous two books as well and as soon as we finish one, we have to go get the next one. We loved it...it was absolutely wonderful! J.K. Rowling keeps getting better and better with each book...

Loved this book, especially the twist at the end when we find out sirius is <<edited for plot spoiler content>>. Also enjoyed the fact that voldemort was not the focus of the story which made a welcome change

This book is filled with action, suspence, drama, conspiricies.. etc. If you like all of that.. then this book is a must. Harry Potter is a full set, and veryone has great endings, and you want to keep reading them day after day. Like come on, JKR rowling is a great author, and she makes books that make it enjoyable for you to read, and if she were to find out that it is not, then I'm sure she would try harder and harder. Harry is an intellectual, amazing loyal character. Ron is still the funny, care giving person. And Hermione, well what is there to say? she is so intellectual, highspirited as always. Everyone... please read this book.. it is awesome.. and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

With suspense as the criterion, this is probably my favourite book from the series thus far. I love all the twists and turns. The Prisoner of Azbakan doesn't pack the emotional punch of Order of the Phoenix, but I love it anyway. Harry begins to grow up in this book. He displays a very admirable and heroic quality: forgiveness. I'm sure it'll pay off in the end:)
