Felt very similar to every other dystopian novel/film (especially 28 Days Later). Not a bad read but I think 'the most original thriller you'll read this year' is pushing it somewhat.

Review of 'Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Start of book:
Harry: These people are suspicious and not to be trusted.
Everyone: You're just overreacting Harry.
End of book:
Everyone: Please don't say "I told you so".
3 stars because everyone telling Harry he's wrong when in fact he's right gets annoying after 100+ pages.
