Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter #6)

Reader reviewed by missy

The book moved rather on the slow side. Nothing much seemed to aspire through out the whole book. To me it seemed rather on the bland side. I personal only read it for the stake of the series. The next one will be better. The writing seems to have decayed somewhat as far as the quality.

In this part, being book number six of this heptalogy Harry Potter makes his way back to school and the unexpected occurs. For this pint-sized boy who has finally reached the age of sixteen finds himself stuck inbetween everything in life from romance to his lessons in order to defeat Voldermort and all at once trying to find himself in all this mess aqnd still stay sane against all odds. This may sound interesting to some but I literally mean that this is what he spends his time doing throughout the whole entire six hundred page hunk of literature. I found that she left out the heart stopping twists and turns which I search for the most in a good novelists creations. I found that there were less battles bringing on anxiety and anxiousness and that she left out everything she used in the other books to make it relatable and mystifying. There was really only one big poart where.... well I eouldn't like to become a spoiler to where something devastating occured. Of course If she used her brilliance from the other scenes in the other novels I might have been found with a fit of tears streaming out of my awaitful eyes but instdead I was just at first angry at the event. Maybe if he had a better ending with more of a part to it I would have thought of it as justifiable but it wasn't at all means. The rest of this gruesome tale for book six was boring with just usless information being poured in from all ends. I found it boring to watch Harry undergo his hormonal reapperance and learn about defeating Voldermort by sitting around in a gothic styled castle while doing nothing at all. But yes I must cut J.K some slack because it must be pretty challenging to weave out the correct structure to be built for the best epic and unforgettable ending possible. Nonetheless I did find her other books spectacular and perfect for any young adult and maybe an adult at the least looking for a getaway trip to thde little suite called Hogwarts. But I found the the romance was utterly distastefull. As unsupportive as an untied shoelace upon a shoe.I didn't feel that fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach as I normally do and it was boring with little emotional words to be put forth into it. But of course if you are a person like me to expect every human being to be given the gift of describing love as fondly as Hunger Games author Suzzane Collins does you will never find any book romance to be quite appealing. But i still urge you to read the series for the other books are the complete opposite of this one which left me with a bad taste in my mouth. For the book still showed beautiful writing skill and artiste. I believe that igt also helps build Harry's character but at the same time make him more realistic which in turn reveals to me his vulnerability. I give my sorry to J.K who I inspire though dislike her one book but hoew can you make seven perfect books in a row? Impossible which I could never achieve and I give any Harry Potter fan the permission the rant on my findings even so being a huge fan myself and probably knowing the same or more than them about the book- Becca's reviews Please ignore spelling mistakes due to bad typing skills and no spell check.

OMG!!! best one yet!!! hope the movie people don't ruin ot like they did GOB!!! big surprise when ... died!!! my friend was in tears when she read it!!! i personally never really liked ... and thought that ... was boring, but its still a HUGE loss to the series!!! i can't believe who did it did it, but if you read some fanfiction, many peoples have another opinion: when the av. curse hits you, you like shoot back or something funky, but ... like fell, like collapsing and stuff. some say that the "murderer" didnt really do it-MAJOR SPOILER BELOW if you are currently reading the book-you will be able to tell if you read below










because ... was really weak before, so maybe it was a natural death, perfectly planned to fake it. good theroy. possible.

GO RON/HERMIONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
