Rebecca Adler thinks this book is Good.
Order of the Phoenix was the most nail-biting of the Harry Potter series so far, but I think that may be in part because it's the first I've read without seeing the movie version first. Because I didn't know what was going to happen next I found I couldn't put the book down.
However, there are some parts of the book where I felt the author could have shortened it or left out some descriptions. I'm sure they'll be helpful with making the movie, but I found them burdensome and they slowed the story down quite a bit. Most of the action didn't happen until the last 100 pages.
Also, I was really sad that one of my favorite characters dies in this version. I know we can't always have happy endings, but I was just starting to get used to this character being around when he was murdered. I don't want to give away who it is though.
Another plus to this book is that the author sets it up in such a way that one doesn't have to read the entire series to know what's happening. Perhaps that's one of the reasons for the lengthy explanations. In all, it's a good read and a quick one at that.
