I just finished reading the last page. What a masterpiece!!! I can't wait to read it again. J.K. Rowling has nailed it this time with her storytelling!!!I am not going to tell you too much about the book in fear of giving too much away. No spoilers here! You just need to read it. Harry, Ron, Hermione and all the gang are back for another year of adventure at Hogwart's. Malfoy is up to no good, worse than usual. And way in over his head. Has Draco become a Death Eater in the wake of his father's incarceration? Read the book and find out.
The only two things I will tell you are that we find out who the mysterious "Half-Blood Prince" is and what part he plays in our tale. The other is that a regular character dies in this one, killed by a treacherous follower of Lord Voldemort. I have already heard grumblings about how people don't like Rowling killing off this character. Personally, I think it was a necessary evil to progress the story. Sure I wept when this person was killed, but it needed to be done.
Excellent book. If you haven't read it yet, read it. If you have never read any of the Harry Potter series, do it. The first book isn't that good because it was "Americanized" for us, but from the second book on Rowling's writing just gets better. We witness the characters as they grow up and as the story darkens due to the threat of impending doom because of the overwhelming evil that is Lord Voldemort.
Hold on, the seventh and perhaps final book in the Harry Potter series is going to be a thrill ride.
And not to be missed.
