I've finally finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the first time, and I think it was one of the best so far. I think the only one that beat it was the one before it, Harry Potter and the goblet of Fire. Since this book is part of a series, you can't really just pick it up and read it. You have to read the earlier ones. But this review is I guess just a heads up for people who might decide not to read all of them.
This book is full of teen angst. That might be why it's 870 pages long. A lot of it is Harry's feelings. This might not be good for people who like a lot of action, but if you like to read about what he's thinking for a big portion of the book. This is good for you. I'm not saying that it has no action, but it definitely not as much as the other books.
I think the writing is very good. It might be a little overwhelming since the book just keeps going on and on and on, but I think that J.K Rowling really knows how to keep the reader hooked in. It is a great mixture of humor, sadness, and creativity that hopefully wont leave you bored. You definitely have to be committed to it to finish it, because you'll take forever to finish it if you're the kind of reader who barely reads.
Overall, I think this is a really good book. Expect a lot time go by without much happening, but keep on reading! You'll find out a lot of information that I think makes the whole story pure genius. I completely recommend this book.
