Book Review 3: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Publisher: Bloomsbury/Scholastic
R.R.P.: £9.99

I purchased the book at 1600 yesterday and finished it at 0100 this morning. Very little I can say can describe to scope of this book so I will take a well-used line from a character - bloody brilliant!! The suspense of this book was entwined very well with the emotional aspects of the characters. The gradual development of the three main protaganists into teenagers full of raging hormones hits very hard in this book. Several much wanted/needed steps are taken and the history of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was an essential plot recap as to what will be on of the greatest books every written, the 7th in the series, Harry Potter and ***************.

Only a short review as to go into too much detail would give away too many plot details and I do not wish to ruin it for those who are yet to read the book.

If you do not intend to read the book, do so as it was both amaze and astound you with the talent of writing from Ms J.K. Rowling.
