Very good writing, indeed. I enjoyed reading this book so much, the story of Harry and Voldemort. Discovering the whole magic world which Rowling created is amazing. Love it!

If you read previous Harry Potter novels, there is little new in this one. Still, it deserves credit for suspense, action and bravery to kill one of the main characters. This was the first Harry Potter audiobook I listened to and I am greatly impressed by Jim Dale's narration. It is superb and well deserving of all the awards he got for this reading.
