Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Read it this weekend. First let me say I found it to be both the most satisfying and unsatisfying of all the books so far. It was satisfying in that it filled in much of the back story that has been missing up to now. With that in place the entire series takes on a slightly different light. Unsatisfying in that the Hogwarts world isn't as fully developed as it has been in previous books. The thing I really liked about this book is the way small little items in the previous booknow have a great deal of importance. All in all I would recommend the book.

BTW Hermione is a complete jerk. Without giving too much away if I found a cookbook with a master chefs special instructions in the margins is it wrong to use them? Read the book you will see what I mean.
