Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Full-Cast Edition)Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Of all the Full Cast Editions I've listened to, I remembered the least from my original reading of HBP. I guess much of this book just didn't stick with me the way earlier books did. In some ways, it is one of the weaker books. It doesn't stand that well on its own; it is more of a bridge from OoP to DH, setting up the final act. There is also a bit too much snogging! But the last third of the book is also some of the best. If you don't shed a few tears by the end, I am not sure you're human.
