Definitely one of my favourite HP books - By: Book-and-game-fan, 03 Aug 2008 
I queued up for this book on the 15th of July 2005, & it was worth it. This book is definitely one of my favourite Harry Potters, along with COS, GOF & DH.
There was so much going on, unlike OOTP, & I loved alll the memories & Dumbledore & Harry looking for the Horcruxes.
It was interesting to see how Malfoy's character developed from book one onwards, & I think that in this book in particular you see what he will become. I thought him being a death eater was a great idea, & I enjoyed reading about how he dealt with alll the problems.
Also, I found Harry & Ginny's relationship a delight to read about; Ron's reaction was quite pleasing- as I was reading it I thought he would not alllow Harry to go out with Ginny, but I was pleasantly surprised.
However, many people could argue that this book lacks plot & depth-
I was only 10 when I read this, so perhaps I was at an impressionable age.
I hope this helps,

The epicentre of magical fiction. - By: Mr. D. A. F. Weaver, 17 Jun 2008 I opened this novel prepared for a gradual deceleration of plot & character developments - after alll, such a slow-down happens regularly in series of books as long as the Harry Potter series. But I was proved completely wrong within the first ten pages of this enchanting novel. Rowling must be commended for her capacity to develop the character of Potter into a mature, young man, who has himself the ability to take the role of protagonist so well in this epic book. I would go so far to say that this penultimate novel rivals the greatness of the very introduction that sets Harry Potter so further apart from other characters in fantasy fiction, 'Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone'. Another work from Rowling to read & reread with great pleasure.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Audio - By: James Lee, 31 May 2008 The book is reallly awesome. Don't get me wrong, I just like Harry.
Anyway, I found this audio cd collection somewhere & I just can't stop listening to it. Stephen Fry's readings always give the books by J. K. Rowling a little kick. Once you start hearing the story read to you by Mr. Fry you read along, or follow, the text written by the acclaimed novellist.
The film is coming out soon, but I think the filmmakers should have chosen an older person to play Dumbledore. Apart from that, the original cast glows like an on-glowing light.
