A Disappointment to the Harry Potter Series
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, it is by far my favorite book series. The Prisoner of Azkaban was good,, but for a Harry Potter book it was a disappointment due to it's lack of action

Harry Potter: from a teenager's perspective
This book's title is excellent. It fits the book but it doesn't make entirely perfect sense until further in. However, like the first two, getting absorbed in the story is simple. After the first Harry Potter book, which I started out reading because I wanted to see if it was as good as everyone said, I couldn't put it down. It was like escaping to another world. I know that is probably an overused phrase but it fits in this case. I could get away from my stressful school life, homework, siblings, and nice but sometimes annoying friends, but also identify with the characters. Harry's story is so wildly and exotically different, yet so true for almost everyone who has ever gone to school or had an annoying family. Not only that but the story is enthralling. What started out as pleasure reading to 'get away' became a quest to find out what would happen next with each page of all three books. I started the first book right after the second came out, and finished the second a week after the third came out. Now the rumor is that new additions will be released once a year. The 7-book series will be completed when I am 17. They can't come out fast enough for me!!! The only book I've read that tops these is 'The Last Silk Dress' by Ann Rinaldi but it is not like these books at all. I have varied tastes. I hope you enjoy Harry Potter

In depth and intriguing
Like #1 and #2 of the Harry Potter books, Prisoner of Azkaban is great. A bit more chilling and adult-like, but just as enjoyable as the others. I just finished this and I am quite the J.K. Rowling fan. I like everything she puts into her books - ancient myth, monsters, magic, witchcraft, and all else I enjoy. Can't wait to read #4.

Simply outstanding! Plot, characters, imagination beyond compare!!
My 9 year daughter asked me to read this, as she loved it. I can't imagine a more brilliant and talented author. Everyone with a bit of child in him or her must read this book!! Gripping, suspenseful and heart rendering at the end! Enjoy!!!!

Best book ever!!!
I am 11 andI have read all the HPs. This is my favorite book out of all seven. If you were bored in the second book (I was not, but I know some people were) and are wondering if you should read the third, read it. All the books are better after the second especially the third. JK Rowling is an amazing author and to all of you that have not finished the series keep on reading, you won't be disappointed!

Should DEFINITELY read!! SO GOOD!!
Review brought to you by OBS staff member Annabell Cadiz
The third installment in the Harry Potter series is fraught with new dangers for Harry and even bigger secrets coming to the light! A few new changes take place in Harry's world. A new professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is hired, Professor Remus J. Lupin who Harry learns had been best friend with his parents. Sirius Black also use to be a best friend of Harry's parents and is said to have been the one to kill Harry's parents. Now Sirius is after Harry. But there's more to the story of how Harry's parents where murdered. Snape also played a role in Harry's parents life. He didn't just know them, he was close to Harry's mom, and Harry's dad wasn't so innocent, there's a very good reason why Snape is so resentful toward Harry's dad. After Divination class, taught by Professor Trelawney, Harry heads back up to return a glass ball that had fallen down the stairs. As he places it back inside the class, Professor Trelawney predicts that the Dark Lord's servant will return to him that night and Harry's world completely changes from that moment on. He learns more about Snape's past with his father. Lupin's big secret and why he has to miss class sometimes. The real truth about Sirius Black and how his parents were murdered, and with the help of Ron, Hermonie and Dumbledore, Harry sets out to put all the pieces together and save some lives in the process.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

AMAZING!!~
J.K. Rowling never fails to provide an excellent story for her readers! The writing is amazing and our journey through Hogwarts keeps getting darker and darker as Lord Voldemort inches into the story even more!

Harry Potter
from Murphy's Library
Harry Potter's life isn't easy, we all know that. And it gets worse when a prisoner escapes from Azkaban-but, hey, isn't this the wizard's prison, the one from where nobody has ever escaped?-and everyone believes he's coming after the boy who survived. As expected, everybody gets overprotective and Potter, of course, gets himself in trouble all the time.
This book has some awesome highlights. We finally get to know a little bit of Hogsmeade, and I found myself daydreaming I could shop on those stores-something that me and Guta are totally going to do this summer, when we're going to the Harry Potter park in Orlando!-, we find out more about Harry's dad and his friends and there's also the Dementors, creatures Rowling created based on her depression phase. Oh, and we get to know more about Snape, one of the best characters on this entire series, in my opinion!
What else can I say about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? I liked the Hippogriff flight much more on the movie than on the book, and I laughed a lot with Trelawney and her crazy talks. And I liked the fact that this book shows that not all the bad guys are Slytherins-something that people usually don't remember whenever I say that I'd totally be a Slytherin if my owl hadn't gotten lost on my 11th birthday!1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Excellent!
I just finished this book and loved it!I loved the twists at the end with Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. I love Malfoy, (in a hating sort of way,) and think what he got from Buckbeak was just what he deserved. I would read this book again and again with all the amazing twists. I'm kinda scared to read number 4 though, I'm afraid if I drop it, it'll break my toe. : )

This book is great you must read this book
My review is on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban By J.K. Rowling copyright 1999.In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry is told by numerous people that a person has escaped from Azkaban the most secure prison. Harry goes through a long year at Hogwarts discovering new things and new people. But in the end a traitor is at Hogwarts and the real person is found.Harry found a relative and saves more than one life.In the end a traitor is found and an innocent person is free. He saves more than one life. This book is a fun filled, adventure packed, book that is a great book to read and I would recommend this to my friends and many others.

Oh My Gosh - Incredible
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a book that every single person on the face of the planet should read before it their time to lay dead in their graves. It starts off strong with Aunt Petunia getting fatter (if that's possible) and floating right away. Harry returns to his Wizard school "Hogwarts" and learns of a killer on the loose by the name of Sirius Black. Black allegedly led the Dark Lord Voldemort to the Potter family for them to be slaughtered. Now he's back to finish off the job with our hero, Harry Potter. Leaving you guessing with every chapter, this is an absolute must read! The end's unbelievable twist is guaranteed to make your job drop. My advice on this book is to first read the other two books. After that, I'm sure you'll be hooked on the entire series and while be astounded if anyone is to read this and not enjoy. Happy reading and may your Patronus be with you

Best series ever! I love it
Harry Potter is a classic series. There is no way you can read the first book and stop there. This book is extremely creative and im fascinated at how JK Rowling took such an unoriginal idea and twisted it in so many different direction to make it a captivating novel. In the Prisinor of Azkaban we experience the mysterys (just as all the others) alongside Harry and his two best friends. The plot is all in all imaginitive and captivating the whole way through, leaving us begging for more. The recommended age by critics is 9-12 which really made me frustrated because in my opinion the age recommendation is anyone with a pulse. Its impossible not to love this book and the characters, especially when Rowling makes it so realistic. This book will keep you up late at night and early in the mornings, until you finish it, when you can go on to the next one,
