Pros: It's Harry Potter, need I say more? Cons: Those annoying people who think their kids'll become pagans from reading a book
My middle school has a three-day program to help acquaint incoming sixth graders to our school, and I was a counselor. The day HP3 came out, my group was going swimming. My mom brought the book and my bathing suit to school, and I read it on the bus...

Pros: Very magical Cons: Long
I first picked up this book because my friends told me that this book is great and definitely worth getting. When I first opened up the book, and saw Harry flying on a horse-like animal it looked very interesting. You might need to read some of the...

Pros: Has a great plot, a totally surprising ending, and tons of fun! Cons: A few small inconsistencies--but nothing to stop you from enjoying!
I've loved all of the Harry Potter books I've read (the first 3 so far), but I found "The Prisoner of Azkaban" to be the best--the plot is full of twists and turns and surprise developments, and the characters are even more lovable. "The Prisoner of...

Pros: A wonderful book! Cons: I needed to re-read the ending once before I understood completely.
Naturally, after loving the first two books in the Harry Potter series, I had to read this one. I think it is the best yet. My third-grade friend, my co-workers, and my mom all loved it. Longer and more detailed than the other two, this book made me...

Pros: Extremely exciting, believable, makes you care about the characters, great for all ages, imagination-provoking Cons: Hard to put it down (even when you have something else to do), Prisoner of Azkaban only comes in hard-cover and is a bit pricey.
I bought this book because I just HAD to find out what was in store for Harry during his 3rd year at Hogwarts. I had bought the first two book almost completely just to stay up-to-date with the world. All my friends (from 13-30) were always talking...

Pros: easy-to-read, creative, warm, unique, charming Cons: not the most sophisticated, fantasy-based
Generally, I believe that if you don't read this book, you are missing out on one of the most pleasant experiences any book has to offer. The third Harry Potter is better than the first two (and they are hard to top, by the way). It has an easy,...

Pros: Clever wrting, fun to read Cons: some darker subjects (but not sinister)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third (and curently the latest available 11/99) volume of a planned set of 7 books.
Although one might think this is merely a children's book, you'll find it an engaging book for adults too. ...

Pros: original, better story line Cons: takes awhile to get into
After reading all the other Harry Potter books, including the 4th one: Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, I must say that this one is by far my favorite.
Of course, we all know that Harry is always the exception. And really, it tends to get...

by burgerbell , Mar 25 '00
Pros: Strong story, rich detail, full bodied characterizations Cons: It can be read on its own- but don't- they are much better to read in order
In the third installment of Harry Potter, the plot thickens considerably. More secrets of Harry's past are revealed, and his world continues to grow rich in detail.
As Harry ages with each book, the level of complexity grows with him. The story...

Pros: Good book, very amusing. Cons: Not as good as first or second.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was not as good as Harry Potter 1 or Harry Potter 2. Still, it was an amusing book that made me not want to put it down. For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named...

Pros: Another wonderful adventure Cons: Hard to put down
This is the third year for Harry Potter at Hogwarts and the third time for us to love his adventures. Kids of all ages are learning to love these books by J.K. Rowling. The Prisoner of Azkaban is just as good as the first two books of the series. ...
