Why read it?

2 authors picked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Harry Potter series is so good but this particular installment gave you the backstory of one of my favorite characters. Harry is a great character and so are most of the cast but one always stands out. The half-blood prince is a layered character who, by the end of the series, you will realize deserved your love more than anyone else. Who doesn’t love a character who will sacrifice it all, even their whole being for love.

From Shea's list on bad guys who will steal your heart.

Each book I’ve recommended has its own writing style, its own way of telling a story. Harry Potter is another story of note that differs from those I’ve mentioned. It has a great balance of pace and detail that doesn’t micromanage the readers' imagination, yet gives us enough detail to draw us in. A great beginner series for those interested in fantasy and one that will certainly keep you on your toes. I recommend this particular story within the series because I feel that we’ve reached the most critical point in the plot.

What is this book about?

Thirteen-year-old Max is a daydreamer. It gets him into trouble at school, but his restless curiosity really turns problematic when he runs into a mysterious professor at his uncle's bookstore.

The old man informs Max that time is being sucked out of the planet by invisible bandits, stolen from unsuspecting people one breath and one sneeze at a time, and is being stored in a central vault.
