bk's pretty gewd ...

The third Harry Potter Boook is easily the best of the entire series thus far. The action flows fast from the very beginning, and retains focus on HARRY POTTER, the person we actually care about, unlike in The Goblet of Fire, where focus is placed on a quittich game, Victor Krum, and on other people. I don't mean to say that The Goblet of Fire is a bad book, but when compared to Prisoner of Azkaban, it seems too long and too thick on details that make the reader wonder about relevancy. Prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent read and very enjoyable! 10 out of 10!

Although the four book of the series are good, but the third one is the best among all. Black was on the run, and everyone thought that he was going to harm Harry in one way or another, but it turned out that he was Harry's godfather. This book talks about the life in Hogwarts of James Potter , which answer a lots of questions of his father. It make one was not able to put the book down till the book was finished. A good book with a unepextable yet moving ending when the truth was out. Excellent!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is maybe the best book of the Harry Potter series. Although the three other books are also very good this one is exceptionally. What is so special about it is the effect of the second reading. When you read for the first time, there is a kind of darkness over your reading experience. Even as a reader you will be scared of Serious Balck and the Dementors. You mainly focus on the obviously bad side of Serious Black. When you read the book for the second time you can totally focus on the "consiparcy" around Serious Black and how it work out (or did not work out, depneding on the readers poitn of view). There is a great suspense in the plot which will grab the reader instanly. Joane K. Rowling has done a perfect job, devlepoded the plot in a way that hooks the reader to it from the first to the last sentence.
