Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban: Book 3

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. The plot is rich, the
style of writing is spectacular, and the storyline is amazing! I read it for
days, bringing it everywhere, reading it whenever I could. I just couldn't put
it down. In the fourth book I wished that Sirius Black was more involved, but
even so, it was amazing. I think they (they being warner bros. or any other
company involved with Harry Potter) should release a 3-D Quidditch game for
computer. thank Joanne Rowling for your writing.

This book, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban was the first book of J.
K. Rowling that I have read. And I like it because it thrills me and I like
books that surprise me. The one thing I don't like about that book is that it
doesn't end like I expected it to end. Anyway, I love that book because it
teaches us trust and worthiness of a friend. To tell you frankly, I was hit
straight by the book when I realized that it meant to be open to everything and
not to look on one side. I was so very sorry for Sirius Black when I found out
that it wasn't him who betrayed Harry's parents. I said to myself, how nice of
Sirius to offer Harry to live with him... that's good, the both of them are
wizards. That will be all, Thank You Very Much Book Browse!!

Quidditch Lover
Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone was one of the best book written in
the world. I'm totally lost in the fantasy of Harry Potter. It's amazing how
this book kept me in suspense. I admired J.W Rowling's creativity and writing
skills. I was really into Harry Potter now that I can't wait for the next book
to be published and the movie to show. May I now the title and publishing date
of the next story?

This book, "White Oleander", was one of the best books that I have ever read. I simply could not put it down, and hated for it to end. Maybe, a sequel? I am awaiting Janet Finch to complete her next novel.

I was intrigued how a young woman at the tender age of 17 was able to just pick up and start a whole new life of unfamiliarity by herslf. She was able to raise herself and her daughter Americus, whose name had a great significance to it along with the other main characters in the book. the movie was okay. the book was great.

This book is one That I will remember for many years to come! The way that Lett's portrayed Novalee made me unable to put this book down! it was as if it grabbed me and wouldn't let me go! my mother bought me this book and I fell in love with it after reading the first sentence and the more sentences I read the more I grew to love it! this is truly a fine piece of literature that I am sure will be enjoyed by people of all ages , classes and races infect I lent it to my 12 year old sister and she too fell in love with it I was however disappointed with the movie! I suppose it was because after reading the book I had such high expectations for the movie! I would give this book a 10.5 out of ten!

I'm an ESL student. I read Where the Heart Is as part of my reading and writing class. I must have read a book and this one captivated all my interest when I read the title. I feel happy about the choice that I make. This book took out all my feelings. I think after reading "Where the Heart Is" that I'm a lucky person.

I just finished reading Billy Lett's Where the Heart Is in preparation for a college reading class I will be teaching in a couple of weeks. I found it to be wonderfully enlightening, a truly "feel-good" book touching on a culture that I am unfamiliar with, being from Ohio. It was definitely difficult to put the book down, turn off the light, and go to sleep!
I would be interested in hearing from any men who have read the book. I will have men in my college reading class when I utilize the book for the class and would like to know how the male gender thinks about this book. Please respond to my email address. ingshire@email.com Thank you!

I'm not much of a reader but when I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. The way she writes, the way you feel everything Novalee is feeling. Or how you become Novalee and you just had your baby in Wal-Mart, lost a dear friend, and how see falls in love with the most wonderful man who's ever hit the planet.

Where the Heart Is was written in a stylish and sensitive way. Letts captures her audience from the first paragraph down to the last word, leaving you wanting more. The sweet and quirky tale of an abandoned teenager finding life and love again in a small Midwestern town, shows all who read it that you really do get a second chance. An incredible read, you will cry and laugh, alternately, throughout the whole book.

I enjoyed reading Where The Heart Is. As an Oklahoman I could really appreciate the characters. They are like many of the people that I have known in my life. As an high school English teacher, I could understand the young women in the novel. They are like some of the young girls that I have taught. Letts does a wonderful job representing the everyday people in Oklahoma. I rarely go to the movies, but I had to see the flim. It was close to the text, and I found it very enjoyable. I met Billie Letts when she first published Where The Heart Is. She is a wonderful speaker and a talented writer.

I really enjoyed this book. It is one of those books that I started reading and couldn't stop. It was a wonderfully written book. This book has a great story. I can relate to Novalee, because I am young and I have had someof the same problems in my life that she has had in hers. I am not pregnant or anything, but I have had problems with my boyfriends leaving in another state and also had problems with guys that treat me right, and not knowing whether to like them or not. I didn't know what my feelings were. I loved this book.
