Summary: Like Candy, but more expensive and less unhealthy
Review: If you are the type who enjoys reading fluff for fun, you should almost certainly get _Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone_. Even if you are not generally a fluff reader, be aware that this is particularly good fluff. The characters are quite flat, the hero unlikely and his choices frustrating, but the book itself is quite enjoyable. The imagery is excellent and the plot, while simple, interesting. There is just enough of a twist at the end to catch the reader off guard. Rowling does not spend much time on the specifics of spell casting or explain much of the structure in her magical world, but for some people this would be unwanted background material. This also gives a more lighthearted tone, so if you like the comprehensiveness and gravity of the _Dragonlance_ saga, you might be a bit dissappointed.

Summary: An Instant Classic
Review: If you don't know anything about Harry Potter you really need to crawl out from behind the rock you've been liveing under and wake up.Harry Potter and the Sorcerers's Stone is great book. Harry Potter is an 11 year old boy who doesn't know that he's a wizard. He had no idea his parents were and that they were killed while he was just a young child. All he knows is that they were killed in what was said a car accident and he lives with his mean relatives the Dursley's. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia wanted nothing to do with Harry when they found him left on there porch one evening. They had there spoiled baby Dudley and they hated Harry's parents because they weren't normal. Harry had a bad childhood. His room was under the stairs of the home. His clothes were all of his mean cousins seconds and hand me downs. He had to deal with constant abuse from Dudley until one day that all changed when he received a letter. A letter to attend a school of Magic called Hogwarts. Uncle Vernon would have nothing to do with it calling it jibberish. After much fun and convincing which I won't spoil for you he is off to Hogwarts. Once at Hogwarts Harry meets Ron and Hermoine who all quickly become friends. The three are all outcasts in one way or another. The three share a lot of the same interests and all have their unique qualities that add to the group. The three however discover a secret that could threaten the school. Voldemort the man who killed Harry's parents is rumored to be back and could be trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. One of the few things that could return the evil wizard back to his full form. Harry and his friends can't let that happen and they will stop him no matter what the consequences. This is a fantastic novel. People of all ages will enjoy it. I had scene the movie but had never read the book. My younger sister had recently purchased all of the books that had been written and I've decided to read them. I was surprised on how good they were. You get hooked by the book instantly and there is no wanting to put it down. J.K. Rowling is awesome and I'm glad she has been so successful off this franchise. Over the years many books have been written geared to make children read. Fantasy is an easy topic to get kids to read because of the nature of it. The most notable of these series was C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. Those classic books can be set aside because of Harry Potter. The Potter era is here and what a fun world it is. Let your children read Harry Potter. Sit down and read the book together. It's an absolutely brillant book that is an instant classic and is here for everyone to enjoy.

Summary: If you don't like books like this, read this book.
Review: If you don't like fantasy, this book is for you! I've seen it ensnare several people that don't like to read and/or don't like the genre. My mother reads James Michner, my wife reads Fabio, both LOVED this book (and all the rest). Any book that gets kids reading is a good book, IMHO, and these are getting kids reading. As an adult that has read some of the better fantasy books around, I find Harry Potter to be pretty light in most areas. But, I remind myself, this is supposed to be a childrens book. I've been a supporter of this series since I first heard the goofballs crying that these books encouraged witchcraft (I'm a practicing Druid with a Wiccan background) but I hadn't read them until now. I appreciate witches and wizards getting a good rap for a change, but they celebrate Christmas at the school (Hogwarts? something like that) and I have yet to see any hint of paganism in the books, so the fundamentalists are over-reacting again (surprise) Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll end up reading them all but I don't think they are going to take the place of David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Feist, Donaldson, etc. This one is worth buying so you can see what all the hubbub is about and judge for yourself.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: If you enjoy adventurous books that keep you hanging on the edge of your seat. Then pick up this book and find a nice comfy place because this, is the book you want. You must pick up the clues and place them together. I like to predict the next event in the story. I think J.K. Rowling does a super job on the ending. I'm not going to spoil the book for you, but if you would like to know how Harry and his two friends get to the ---------- ----- (I can't tell you what it is) you must read this awesome book. I highly recommend you do.

Summary: You'll lose sleep over how good this is!!
Review: If you have even thought about getting this book.....you should!!! You'll only have to decide hard or soft-cover. For anyone who likes or is interested in even the slightest bit of supernatural fiction, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. The author is brilliantly creative and the story-line is just perfect. I could hardly keep my hands off this book; I read this in two sittings which probably would have been just one if I haden't started late the first night.

Summary: One of the best books I've Read!
Review: If you haven't read this book yet....you'd better start now. The first time i read this book in the beginning i was confused and a little tired of reading the book. Everyone said it was good, but i wasn't getting into it. So i read it a little more and i started to understand and book became fascinating to me. It is really a great book. You just have to give it a try. It's about a boy named harry potter who finds out a big secret that has been kept from him since he was a baby, that he's a wizard. Not to mention that him and his parents r famous for something he doesn't even remember. Now that Harry has found out wut he is he off to Hogwarts....the school of Whichcraft and Wizardy where he meets others like him and soon gets caught up in an adventure....but will he survive it!
