A review by amanda1793
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
5.0
I don't have the words for this one. This is my favourite of the series and has been since I first read it nearly a decade ago.
So much happens in this book, and so many references are made to "real life" issues. Especially mental illness (depression in particular), and what many say is reference to AIDS (although J. K. Rowling has said Lupin's condition is "a metaphor for illnesses with stigma").
I love the character growth seen here and the magic that is experienced, both new and old. Quidditch... gotta love it.
As always, Jim Kay's illustrations blow me away. This book allowed him to so a more "creepy" side to his art, and I love it!
5 stars as always. And I recommend the series to those who have yet to read it, young or old.
