'Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince'

Got this HOT HOT book yesterday!! I can hardly contain my excitement when the delivery man hand over the book to me. Finally! After a long wait, it's finally in my arms. I couldn't wait but to start reading for approx the first hundred pages before stopping for a break... It's not tat I'm tired or anything, it's I'm not able to continue reading as I'm totally lost. Yes. Lost. The continuation of the story I've read nearly two years ago, gone straight into the content without some reviewing or rather some help in recalling what happened in Order of Phoenix. For instance, I've totally clueless what was 'the prophecy' and who the character 'Tonks' is... I even resorted to re-reading the Order of Phoenix to get a better understanding of what is going on in the sixth book. Half-Blood Prince is rather disappointing. I'm not referring to the content of the story, but, rather the length. Comparing to the previous book, Half-Blood Prince is very much shorter. The printing is rather huge for it to extend to six hundred plus pages, whereas, small print Order of Phoenix could stretched up to seven hundred plus plus pages. I have absolutely no complaints about the content fortunately. The first chapter was interesting enough to make you to thirst for more.


~ The Prime Minister gazed hopelessly at the pair of them for a moment, then the words he had fought to supress all evening burst from him at last.
'But for heaven's sake - you're wizards! You can do magic! Surely you can sort out - well - anything!'
Scrimgeous turned slowly on the spot and exchanged an incredulous look with Fudge, who really did manage to smile this time as he said kindly, ' The trouble is, the other side can do magic too, Prime Minister.' ~
Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince, The Other Minister, J.K. Rowling


Loved this part from the first chapter. It conveys the feeling of urgency, helplessness and, of course, the 'dark' omen.
