A good book - Looking forward to the Movie!

I recently listened to the 6th book in the Harry Potter Series, The Half-Blood Prince. I have to say that I think it is probably the best book in the series so far.  

Ever since the 3rd installment, "The Prisoner of Azkaban," the movies have started to become a little darker. The first death of a student occurs in book 4, Voldemort returns in book 5, and the story continues to get darker in "Prince."

The kids are growing up (they're now in their 6th year at Hogwarts) or about 17 years old, and are starting to experience some of the things that all teenagers have to deal with.

Harry suspects that Snape and Malfoy are up to something no good and is trying very hard to catch them at it. Harry's two companions continue to help him, and Headmaster Dumbledore starts giving Harry private lessons which give us more insight into the life of Tom Riddle and how he became Lord Voldemort.

There's a surprise ending that I won't tell you about because I don't want to ruin it for you, but you WILL be surprised!

I've read the book once, and this time I decided to listen to the book on audio. Jim Dale, an Englishman, reads the story quite well. He changes each person's voice and makes it very entertaining to listen to. I suggest that you listen to the audio version if you have already read the book yourself. It's a great way to hear the story!

I am really looking forward to the new book 7 and of course to seeing "The Order of the Phoenix" movie when it comes out.
