Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1 Audio CD)

Rating:
Summary: so-so
Review: I have honestly seen better books. I love fantasy, but the old classics really reign supreme over today's stuff. Except for Brian Jacques' work. OK, shoot me. I mean, a kid who lives under the stairs,goes to a magic school at age 11 and has some adventures. Whatever.

Summary: A great read-aloud for teachers!
Review: I have just finished reading the book to my second grade class, and they were spell-bound! It became a highlight of our day. We all cheered for Harry, as he left the dreaded Dursley's. It is rare for a class to beg to hear a story every day, but mine did.

Summary: Wonderful Story for all
Review: I have just finished the first book and must say I could notput the book down. I bought it today and was so into it that i finshedin just one day. The only other author to do this to me is Anne Rice. J.K. Rowling has a gold mind on her hands,I will recommend this book to my family and can not wait to read the next. The story line is for children and adult alike, the series is a great way to get children and adults to read more. Thanks J.K. Rowling for creating such a wonderful charater.

Summary: Is Harry Potter A Good Book??
Review: I have just got done reading the very first Harry Potter bookand I have to say that I was really surprised with the book. I know alot of (children) that are all reading Harry Potter and I use tofeel like it was only for children and it was a child's book but sinceI had to read it for school I decided to give it a try and I found outthat it isn't just a child's book. I right away got really interestedwith the book and I couldn't put it down. It had a lot of lessons tobe learned too. It was a really good book for children but I thinkthat almost all adults would like the book too. Imagine being HarryPotter. A poor boy whose parents died and he was left on the doorstepof his uncle and aunt's house. They were really nasty to him andtreated him horrible. Most of his childhood was spent in the familyscupboard. But then when Harry turned 13 he found out that he was awizard and that he had to go to hogwarts school of wizardary andwitchcraft. So he goes off to school leaving the life he hated for newthrills and adventures. He meets a new set of friends on the way andtogether and all get into many problems and adventures. I thinkeveryone should read this book at least once in their lifetime. If youdo read it continue reading it and go though the whole series. rightnow there are 4 Harry Potter books but the 5th is on the way. Enjoy!!

Summary: Happy to have Harry
Review: I have long been a skeptic about the whole Harry Potter craze and I have never been a big fan of fantasy fiction before, but after having everyone I know tell me it is a wonderful series and realizing it would only take a few hours to read a book to make up my own mind, I picked up The Sorcerer's Stone and realized what I had been missing. It is a wonderful fairy tale with great characters and a very well crafted plot, but what I enjoyed most was that it was so accessible. It is written for younger children, so it is very easy to sit down for a few hours and just enjoy what you are reading without having to think too deeply or strain your brain while trying to follow the story. I will certainly join the crowd in recommending this book to everyone I know.

Review: I have made it threw the first book and am half way threw the sec and have seen the movie .I have to say the first book was one of the best I have seen in some time. The writing was remarkible. Grate deal of ability to take the reader away into a world very difrent from our own were things are a grate deal more fun and I thank the writer for such a chance.

Summary: A Reading Journey Starts
Review: I have never been a big fan of reading. To tell you the truth I hated to read. Then for my 12th birthday I got Harry Potter book 1. At first it just layed around and I did not care but soon my 5 year old neighbor said she loved it.(her dad read it to her) I then started to read it. I thought it was boring but once I got past chapter 5, I started to enjoy it. Then I started to read the rest of the series and stayed up till midnight just to get book 4. This book let me enjoy reading again and I am now going on to read other books too. So if you do not enjoy reading give this book a try. I did and now I am starting to enjoy reading.

Summary: First book I've loved or even liked
Review: I have never liked reading and dread when summer reading is hanging over me. Harry Potter was differt though. "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" I picked out to read as summer reading and couldn't put it down. Since then I have read the rest of them on my own and loved them just as much or even more.
