Harr Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I just finished the new Harry Potter book. No, I will not spoil the book by talking all about the giants that Harry faces and that Snape dies and all about how Voldemort kills the Dursleys.
It is a very good book. It has a great plot and the character development from the previous books is well connected. It makes a seamless transition from the Order of the Phoenix.

One of my favorite quotes:
These words seemed to rouse Uncle Vernon. It was clear that as far as he was concerned, any man who could look at Harry and say "excellent" was a man with whom he could never see eye to eye.

"I don't mean to be rude —" he [Uncle Vernon] began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.

"--yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often," Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely. "Best to say nothing at all, my dear man. Ah, and this must be Petunia."

Needless to say, there is a very unexpected ending, a twist of fate if you will. I cannot wait until the next book comes out. But sadly I will have to wait a long time.
