Order of the Phoenix
I'm a little over half way through the 5th Harry Potter book.
It's really hard to put down. There is a lot more tension and
discord in this book but it's still very enticing and exciting to
read. The characters have become so fascinating. There is such
a complex interplay between everyone. You might at first think
it's a series of books about good and evil and so being quite
black and white in it's presentation of characters. But that's
far from the case. And many aspects are actually very realistic
in terms of reflecting real life. Harry's interplay with
Cho Change and his lack of understanding how women feel and think,
not to mention his feelings of attraction and how to deal with them,
this is all excellent. I really wish I had a friend like Hermione who
could explain the way women feel to me like she does with Harry when
I was becoming a young adult.
