Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I really enjoyed this book, it is such an easy read and sometimes it’s great to be able to sit down for hours and just keep reading.

In this book, I think more so than the others, I was more aware of the easy escape – because this is a story about magic any tight corners in the plot are easily eluded with the flick of a wand or the all knowing stroke of a wise old beard.

I also thought the book focused a little too much on Harry, with not enough development of some the minor characters. Now admittedly, Harry’s journey was well drawn out, suspense and tension were developed quite well, all with a nice little twist at the end. Of course you could argue that the book is called HARRY POTTER and the Half Blood Price.

Overall, nice read, quite exciting, doesn’t leave much work for the screenwriter.
