"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", JK Rowling
Been trying to work out how long it actually took me to read this; 22 hours from purchase to finish, probably about 12 after factoring in things like eating and sleeping and encouraging the cat to investigate the possibilities of next door's newly turned flowerbed.Anyway, it's good, I enjoyed it more than the last one, he's stopped with the stroppy and annoying bits. While it doesn't exactly end on a cliffhanger, it's also the book to have the least actually resolved within it - very much a case of 'to be continued'.
Marginally shorter than the Order of the Phoenix, but not by much, the usual suspects are present and correct - quidditch matches, Hagrid and his creatures, the Dursleys, the school and its terms - as well as a new teacher, a new minister and new challenges. A worthy addition to the series.
