Half-Blooded Prince

Harry Potter 6: The Half-Blooded Prince
-Alex 2005

I just finished reading the latest installment of the Harry Potter series on Thursday and I must say I was a lot more satisfied with the direction that this book has taken on as compared to the previous book. The previous one was just filled with annoying EMO Harry who spazzed out every single moment he could. But in this installment he is more calm and collected and it makes for a pleasurable read. I didn't mind the ending as much as others have and I actually think it has finally taken a turn for the best and that this final movement towards the ultimate ending will definitely be worth it. If I were to compare this book to Star Wars, this book would be the equivalent to "The Empire Strikes Back". So basically don't hope for a happy ending but by the time you finish you will know that there's going to be a lot of action going down in the the last few installments of the series, and I cannot wait! Too bad we'll have to probably wait another few years for the next one.

On a different note, but totally related to Harry Potter. I recently discovered that the Harry Potter Line has audiobooks in the form of CD's. They are quite pricey though as each audiobook is about $50 - $80. So it looks like I will be trying to find the torrents until I am more wealthy and can afford it! I want them so I can put them on my iPod. It would be great for trips and when I'm just too lazy to read. Plus they are read by Jim Dale who has won a grammy for his Harry Potter audiobook work. Apparently for this series alone he has over 1000 voices for it. Crazy!
