Book Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4)by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. It's the first one in the series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I read it in about a day and a half. I probably would have read it faster, if I hadn't had to take breaks to be a responsible adult. :) I thought this book was fast paced and moved along well. Meaning, I thought that one thing lead to the next smoothly. I like that the characters are developing in personality as well as in their relationships with one another. Rowling did an awesome job of creating suspense throughout the book. I think maybe that was helped along by the three tasks being spread out evenly, and the fact that there was very little quiddach to read about. I guess I'm not a fan of quiddach. I liked that the story didn't wrap itself up into a neat little package, even though Harry wins the cup. I guess I like that the story is starting to get a little complicated. I'm dying to find out more about Snape and what his story is all about. The writing really isn't improving, but the story has gotten intense enough that I'm not noticing it as much as I did with the other three books. Book 5 won't be here until Thursday, which is probably good, because I need to get some stuff done.
