2000-08-25
Harry Potter is with his uncle, aunt, and cousin, who he hates so much, he would give almost anything to get out of there when his Aunt Marge comes to vist with her pit bull-Ripper. He loses control over his magic, and blows her up. Harry is on the run, but not for long. The Ministry of Magic finds him, and acts like they are thankful to find him, alive, and he soon finds out why.First, a strange dog scares him, and Harry almost gets killed. He is being treated very weired, until he finds out why. The infamous prisoner of Azakban, the wizard prison, has escaped and is after him. Harry is not safe anywhere, even at his school, Hogwarts. This book has an ending that you will never guess and is funny, with a lot of mystery in it. It is one of the best books that I have ever read in my life and I think that you will love it too!
Excellent 2000-03-27
Learning French and knowing of the books easy reading, I gave this book a try, if I say so myself this translation is much better than the first one, very few spelling mistakes and great plots.

For anyone who has already read the Harry Potter books in English, reading them in a foreign language is a great way to pick up some new vocabulary.
Le prisonnier d'Azkaban is my favorite of the Harry Potter books. Harry has settled comfortably into the world of Hogwarts, yet faces more dangers as he returns. Ron and Hermione continue to bicker as Harry stands between them. The entire cast is back, plus some new faces that are sure to become favorites. If you've seen the movie, but you haven't read the book, you're missing out tremendously.
Learning French 2005-12-20
For those learning French, this is a wonderful addition to your language library. Like the English versions, the trials and tribulations of young people at school are the center of the story. It's a tale about learning new roles, new relationships, and about the world at large--however disguised by magic and fantasy--and has a unique charm. I found the vocabularly and sentence structure a little more challenging, but I noticed a similar development in the English versions. It's almost as though the author was writing for a specific child or children whose reading skills and maturity had progressed beyond that reflected in book one. Alternatively she herself might be just reaching her full stride as an author. Whatever the case, in French it translates to a marvelous progression of learning materials from the basics of book one to the more advanced level of this one.
Wanna improve your french vocabulary? 2004-11-12
On a whim I decided to read through this book, and it proved to be a very fun and effective way to improve my french, while enjoying a great story. The translation reads very well, and the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat (and your nose in the book) until you're done with it.
great way to read painlessly in French 2002-01-30
These are children's books with a lot of action and dialogue-- perfect, easy reading for the non-native speaker, well and carefully translated...
Awesome book 2001-06-18
I found it great! I'm taking French currently and although I had to ask my dad for a lot of the words, I found it funny! Great translation, and as usual, the best book. Read the English version before you read others to get the real J.K. Rowling. But still a great substitution for non-English speakers.
