Book Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Two Thumbs Down)
I am very disappointed.
The storyline especially the death looked very contrived; the death was as if publisher (or someone else) forced Mrs. Rowling to kill someone important and he was chosen. The logic behind the sequence of events were very flimsy. Also the death takes away the factor that holds together the tomes.
Overall it appeared too much planning but less heart has gone into this volume. As if it was a desperate attempt to pensieve all the storyline together and bridge the apparent puzzles.
In this book you will find several characters behaving much different from their normal style and capabilities and they are not under any spell either AFAICT. That really make it a painful reading at times.
