Harry Potter and The Readable Book
I mentioned a while back being less than enthralled with the previous Harry Potter novel. A few days ago I decided to pick up Half-Blood Prince from our bookshelf and give it a whirl.
I'm happy to report that unlike Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince has a plot that's recognizable at every step in the book, and of all the subplots, only one or two felt superfluous.
Definitely a bit darker - which I think is appropriate as Harry (and Rowling) grow along with their audience. If Order of the Phoenix scared you off, follow our friend Stephanie's advice, get it on CD, listen to the last disc, and move on.
