Customer Review #1:
 Harry Potter an the Prisoner of Azkaban
It all started in Harrys room while he was writing an essay
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;that was assigned to him over the summer. He looked out the
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;window for a moment and noticed a silhouette of a large lopsided
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;creature which turned out to be three owls carrying packages for
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;him. One of them was an important book from Hagrid. The next morning,
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;he went down for breakfast, but as usual, the Dursleys payed no
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;attention to him even. There was a news report on an escaped
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;prisoner. After the news report, Uncle Vernon went to go pick up
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Aunt Marge. Afterwards, he ran away. When a bus arrived, he
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;boarded it to London. After meeting up with his two best
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;friends, they set off to hogwarts. There was an inccident on the
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;train that had to do with a dementor. Thats when they met their
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;During his first Divination class, Professor Trelawney said that
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;he had the grim, which she thought that it was a sure sign that
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;he was going to die. After his next class, went to his Caring
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;for Magical Creatures class with Hagrid and learned hhow to
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;approach a hippogriff and he even got to ride one.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Unfortunately, Malfoy had to mess up Hagrids first class.The
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;strong points were during Hagrids first class with the detail
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;on the hippogriffs and when they find out Lupin was a werewolf.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;As for the weak points, the ending could have been a little
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;better.

 WARNING, WARNING, WARNING !
I dont know if any adults come by to this kids kingdom where 5 stars abound but if some do, be WARNED!
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;This book is an absolute litterary trash.
lt;br /gt;Well, lets relativize - its good reading for kids - fast action, black and white 2 dimensional characters, VERY simple style.
lt;br /gt;I have read the first 3 books only to see what all this hype was about.
lt;br /gt;The first one got me puzzled: "Can it really be so primitive?"
lt;br /gt;The second one confirmed:"Yes, it is."
lt;br /gt;And the third got me laughing aloud.
lt;br /gt;All are worth 1 star and it makes no sense to read more of the same.
lt;br /gt;I wont bother to review all 3, it is the same trash.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Now those who would like to read some really good fantasy and eventually to see the difference between Harry Potter and fantasy litterature I would suggest to have a look at:
lt;br /gt;S.Donaldson
lt;br /gt;G.R.R.Martin
lt;br /gt;S.Erikson
lt;br /gt;T.Williams (the Dragonbone Chair)
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Then you can go farther and will never return to Harry Potter anymore.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Review
As usual Harry Potter starts out at the Dursleys house. Aunt Marge has come to stay with the Dursleys for a couple of days. She tells nasty lies about Harrys parents, James and Lily Potter. Harry gets so mad at this that he used magic on Aunt Marge. He leaves the Dursleys because he didnt want to stay with them for the rest of the summer.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt; Harry catches the knight bus and notices a man on front of the wizard news paper, The Daily Prophet. The conductor tells Harry that the man on the front was Sirius Black. He told Harry that Sirius killed 13 people with one curse thats what got him locked up in Azkaban, the wizard prison. The wizard prison is run by horrible creatures called Dementors. Their power is that they suck every good feeling and memory out of the person that they are attacking.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt; Harry lives the normal life a student would at Hogwarts. But Harry finds out that Sirius Black is his godfather. Harry is shocked to hear this. When he tells Hermione and Ron they both are very worried about him. Sirius sneaks onto the grounds and takes Ron to lure Harry and Hermione through a tunnel and into the Shrieking Shack. While in there Harry finds out that Sirius was innocent of killing 13 people with one curse. Later Sirius escapes and tells Hermione, Ron, and Harry to write to him over the summer. In the end Sirius is a really nice guy.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt; I really enjoyed this book. J.K. Rowling really pulls your mind into the characters mind. There are some boring parts in the book that I just wanted to skip but then I decided to keep going because I knew that there were more exciting things to look foreword to. J.K. Rowling puts in so many details from the beginning to the end. There is a lot of adventure, mystery and action. You will read that there are a lot of very interesting animals and that was one of my very favorite parts. One thing I didnt like was that the chapters were very long, but there are interesting things in each of the chapters. If you are a person who likes C.S. Lewis then this book is very exciting. This book can be read by anyone who wishes to read this book. I really liked it and hope you do too.
