Yep, it's a Harry Potter book.
Really, I'm not sure how else to review this one. I'm trying to avoid discussing the plot because there are plenty of people out there who may not have finished yet, and Rowling is almost as lawsuit-happy as George Lucas. Since the best way to talk about the book is to discuss the actual plot, what happened, why it happened and what will happen next, that's going to make this review pretty short.
The writing style is like the other HP books, no better, no worse. As a plot-driven children's book it is enjoyable, but like the others the characters are interesting mostly because we've been watching them for the past 6 years at their school.
If you liked the other Harry Potter books, you will like this one. If you didn't, then you probably won't bother to read this one anyway.
Until later...

yeah yeah yeah, but does Harry 'get some' this time round?
He must be the only 17 year old boy in the UK who isn't - the current age for losing your virginity here is about 14.
Or 11 if you to a boarding school. (which I guess Harrys school is).
