Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)
Date undefined"the order of the phenoix is even darker than the last.
but still captures the struggles of normal teenagers.
the characters are great and interesting. the story is long and complex.
but you will have to read it more than once to truely enjoy it.

Date undefinedI love all the books. After reading it a couple of times, I have grown to like this book even more. He is angry and sullen, which is different than what we expect. However, He also grows up a bit by the end.
What can I say-I think J.K. Rowling is one of the best authors out there right now.

Date undefinedI cannot rate any book in this series less than five stars, but I must confess to being somewhat disappointed with this book; not that it isn't superbly written -- it is -- but as it continues the pattern of the books getting somewhat darker as we get farther into the series, it was just a bit too depressing for my taste. I understand the reasoning behind the pattern, and appreciate the necessity of there being real losses to underscore the truly dire nature of the threat facing Harry & company. But I don't have to like it, and I don't. It doesn't keep me from appreciating the story, but I miss the somewhat more triumphant nature of the triumphs in the earlier books.
