Exciting and page turning. As always. Harry potter books will be an icon in literature forever.  Looking forward to my youngest child being old enough to read the series

I've been reading the Dresden files for almost ten years.  This of course means that I own every single book written to this point.  None have ever disappointed me, and Cold Days is no exception!  Harry is up to his eyeballs in trouble, and he takes us the reader along for the ride.  It's amazing to think back on the fourteen novels written to this point and still be surprised by what Jim Butcher puts Harry up against.  This is an phenomenal book and defiantly worth the price.  Since I live close enough to an Amazon warehouse I'm always getting everything within three or four days so I'm always bundling things up to get the free shipping which means that this is an even better deal since I'm not paying extra to get it sooner!

Another fine reading by Jim Dale! I am never disappointed with his interpretation of the books.
I would definitely recommend this to any HP fan.

Harry Bosch at his best! I have read all of Harry Bosch and have now started on some of Connelly's other books. He is the master. I have even adopted some of Harry's one liners, such as "Everyone counts or no one counts." And "There are no coincidences." For 77 years, I have read only non-fiction but Connelly has won me over with fiction. All great stuff.

Those of us who have been with him from the beginning appreciate the fact that the author has allowed Harry to age, to grow and mature.  He has become a thoughtful, well rounded human being -- a great character.  As always he advances his theory that either everyone matters or no one matters.  Good read!

I love Harry potter. He's so interesting, and so are his adventures. This is and always will be my favorite book series out there.

OK, fine. Maybe because I'm 14 means that reading children's books isn't socially acceptable. Well, tough. As a loyal Harry reader, I was a tad worried that maybe this bookwouldn't live up to the standards of the past  3.
WRONG! In Book 4, the excitement never stops as JK Rowling goes for an  even twistier plot than "Prisoner of Azkaban". Harry is chosen to  participate in a Triwizard Tournament with young socerers from Durmtrang  and Beauxbatons, other magical schools. The tasks can be deadly, the  competition fierce, and of course, being Harry Potter means that simply  living is reason to be nervous...Nothing is quite what is seems when you  reach the action packed conclusion, which, unlike past Harry books, leaves  ends hanging for the next book in the series.
Naturally, all your  favorite characters are back:Ron, Hermione, the Weasely twins, Hagrid,  Dumbledore(obviously), Snape, and, happily, Sirius Black...But there are  plenty of new faces, like "Mad-Eye" Moody, the new Dark Arts  teacher who gives new definition to the word paranoid. You won't believe  how things turn out, so get reading!

Every Harry Bosch novel is interesting and exciting.  I am dreading his retirement!  Connelly always gives you plenty of detail without being boring.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is fantastic!  J.K. Rowling does not fail to keep the never-ending mysteries and adventures going since the first book.  Trouble seems to find Harry wherever he goes.  Accidentally blowing up Aunt Marge into a balloon, Harry decides to run, for the fear of how much trouble he'll be in from the Ministry of Magic.  Unknowingly, Harry flags down the Knight Bus, which takes him to Diagon Alley.  Here he learns that he is in danger.  Sirius Black, an escaped convict from Azkaban is at large and is seeking Harry to finish off Lord Voldmort's work.  Unable to attend Honeydukes without a signed permission, Harry is given the Marauder's map, which helps him escape from the school to Honeydukes in a secret tunnel.  Harry encounters Demetor's during a Quiditch match, causing Harry a great fall and his broom to be smashed to pieces.  Sneaking out one night under the invisibility cloak,  Harry,  Hermione,  and  Ron visit Hagrid.  Upon leaving Hagrid's, they are attacked by a large black dog.  The dog drags Ron away.  The fate of the characters is quite different than what readers expect!  The ending is unpredictable.
Readers who enjoy magic, mystery and adventure will love this book.  All three things and more are included.  The context is easily read and isn't hard to follow.  The story has a lot of unexpected turns. Just when you thought you knew what was happening something new is thrown in.  Once you're hooked you, won't want to put the book down.

Always good reads - Nesbo doesnt disappoint with this book and Harry always gets his man. Twists and turns and then an other bad guy gets his just reward.

Harry Bosch shines through again ... realistically.  A great read that finds you routing for Harry and his partner.  The ending took me by surprise, but my faith is in the author to continue these great books.

Excellent as are all the Harry Potter books. The story gets darker, with unexpected twists and turn that keep you glued to the page.  Can't wait to read the next one!

Michael Connelly's done it again! I love his writing style and the way he has really created a three-dimensional person in Harry Bosch, as his back-story and psychology are revealed bit-by-bit in each book. I accidently read The Last Coyote before this one, going a little out of order and the story in that one, which focuses on Harry's mother's death, ended up being a great thing to already know when reading this one (although he gives you just enough back story within Concrete Blonde to understand the implications).

Concrete Blonde starts with Harry in a professionally sticky situation (as usual, it seems!) but diligently doing his duty to keep Los Angeles safe from murderers in spite of everything. The basic plotline is that the case of a serial killer Harry caught/killed years ago is rearing its ugly head in a couple of ways calling the first investigation into question and putting Harry's good name on the line. It's a page-turner just like all of the Harry Bosch books I've read and I find myself considering calling in sick to work to finish it, but will save the last 30 pages or so for bedtime tonight. :)

JK Rowling did not disappoint this adult reader with her much-anticipated new book.  I received it Saturday afternoon, and could not put it down  until finishing on Sunday afternoon!  As predicted, this book is much  darker than the previous three -- Harry's challenges have become more  complex, and plotlines more sinister.  The familiar characters that  surround him also reveal themselves more fully.  I was once again  captivated by Rowling's intricate plot, surprise twists, and humor.  Can't  wait for the next one!

This sixth Hogwarts Yearbook, as they could easily be termed, was brilliant. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione have grown and matured, so has the story - which is what is supposed to happen. I'm thrilled wi' the story thus far, and am anxious for the next installment (might she hurry?!) I never suspected the end, but I was vindicated when my hunch as to the identity of the Half-Blood Prince was validated. Still think he's a bit hinky, but... it makes for invigorating speculation. Harry is admirable, Ron precious, and Hermione a model. Personally, I see no reason for the Vatican to issue a public condemnation of J.K. Rowling's masterpiece. Reminds me of The Inquisition, and didn't they issue an apology for that travesty?! At least Harry is motivating children to read and NOT waste away in front of computers or video games, or roam the streets in gangs. There are marvelous moral lessons, and the good should be applauded. No one can deny or decry the mass appeal, and Ms. Rowling certainly deserves the success. What an inspiration!

Hats off to Harry!

As always, another great book from J.K. Rowling!

This book thrills from beginning to end....and is perhaps the best in the Harry Potter series.  Without spoiling the book, it manages to take the secrets from all the previous novels and tie everything together in a nice, neat package.  Don't wait for the movie to come out on this one!
