The 6'th book of the HP series titled 'Harry potter and the Half - Blood Prince' was out with a big bash and sales running up to millions...altogether creating too much hype. Was it worth it? Well , not quite , I would say. After I ingeniously extracted that book from my friend (who burnt his pocket in buying this book)and actually read it , I felt (and still feel) it is not worth it.
I am not going to reveal any plot here as it is not worth it , but I am just going to tell you that it has some 58% romance , 10% action , 20% suspense (and the rest 12% is of nonsense). Yes , there is some suspense in revealing Voldemort's past...but when Dumbledore dies , it isnt tragic , it is nonsensical.
If JKR thinks that we all enjoy her descriptions of how Harry smooches and blushes and how many smooches Ron received and so on , she is sadly mistaken. For after a while it was more like a Mills and Boon classic.
Perhaps too much hype , led to this book to become boring? I dont' know!
Read this book , if and only if you are a diehard Potter fan . And if you are really bored and wish to kill time , read this book.
Otherwise just give it a miss , it is honestly NOT worth reading
