Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

By JK Rowling

And we're back with the third installment of the Harry Potter series. This year, a dangerous convicted murderer has escaped from the unescapable wizard prison, Azkaban. Harry travels throughout the year as well as he can, what with Malfoy biting his face off and Sirius Black hunting his skin, and the awful dementors of Azkaban trying to suck out his soul at every chance they get. But he makes it through to June with only breaking minimal amount of school rules. At the end of exams, Professor Trelawney totally wacks out and goes all weird like. And then Harry and Hermione and Ron all go on this really annoying and dangerous journey, breaking more school rules, and learn the truth about Ron's pet rat, Scabbers, and Sirius Black. And then Snape appears and goes absolutely bonkers and Professor Lupin turns into this werewolf and tries to kill everyone. And then Harry and Hermione really bend the readers brain as they travel back in time and it's like, wait, are all dimensions of time happening at the same time, and if people from the future go back and change time in some small way, does is still happen when the person first lives it, or is it all based on perspective? And it hurts your brain.

A solid 3.7. A good book, one of my more favorites, but I have realized that I am giving out 5s way to often, so unless the book is INCREDIBLY outstanding, it's only getting a 4.5 at best. Ciao! :)
