Title: Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
Author: J.K. Rowling
1. This book made me think about action and adventure when I first read it. Sure at some points it kind of drags along as the main character figures out a problem, but I find it very interesting because I feel like I'm trying to figure it out with him, and when I do figure it out, I actually start yelling at the main character to do this, or to do that, even though I knew he couldn't hear me :(. This book also made me think about how our lives would be if we had magic in our world, since the book was all about magic. I mean, just think, our lives would have been some much fun if we used our magical powers properly. I could just teleport to school or make the salt shaker fly right into my hands or I could play chess, where the pieces ACTUALLY MOVED AND SLICE EACH OTHERS LIMBS OFF WHEN WE CLAIM ONE OF OUR OPPONENTS PIECES.
2. This book challenges me by giving me words that I don't know yet, like inevitable, rhapsodising or yeuch (though I'm pretty sure what the last one is). This gave me the sudden urge to look them up, and I couldn't finish what I was doing until I knew the meaning of it. I always read just before I go to bed, and I just can't go to bed without knowing what an unknown word means. I thought that this increases my vocabulary, since I like the relief of knowing a new word that bugs me.
3. Don't read this book if you don't like, well, excitement, magic or mythical creatures like dragons, merpeople and house elves. I don't recommend this book to anyone who don't like reading small-ish parts of the book that don't have any action at all either or people that are afraid, after reading the book, that evil wizards, magical animals etc. will come into your house and eat you, or something similar to that. I also wouldn't recommend this to anyone who hasn't read any of the previous books.
