My least favorite of the Harry Potter books. It's not a horrible read but it's definitely the most childish. Plus there are a lot of plot holes. 341 pages. Grade: B-

Why had I never heard of this book or author before? A fantastically written, very engrossing cross between Raymond Chandler and Charles Bukowski, two of my all-time favorite authors. 244 pages. Grade: A+
