Summary: Great Book!
Review: The reason I chose this book to read is because my sister recommended this book and this book got a lot of awards. My sister read this book and finished it. She said it was fantastic. First of all, I didn't like to read this kind of book. When I started to read this book, it was boring; it didn't make me interesting. However, it became interesting later on. I like this book but I don't love it. In conclusion, the book was not bad and it was pretty good. I think this book makes the people who don't like fantasy book to whom like fantasy book.

Summary: I liked this book because it was hard to stop reading it.
Review: The reason it was hard to stop reading this book was because it was filled with suspense. The begining of the book was pretty boring, but then it started getting interesting. I also liked it when Harry and his friends got into all that trouble and all the difficult names.

Summary: My Review on Kirkus's Review
Review: The review written by Kirkus is a very interesting review. He summarized the story very well with many good discriptions. His review was about how the story portrayed itself and how Harry overcame his opsticles. The begining of his review was about how the novel was an award-winning one in England. He says also that it's toward an action-oriented readers. He gives the description of the story vey well and still manages to get readers to read it. Also leaving out important parts and most important the ending! I think Kirkus wrote a very intelligent review and it deserves prase.

Summary: the nice guy
Review: The reviewer to me sounds like he really enjoyed the book. That's good because I enjoyed the book the same way he did. I would only tell people to read this book after they have seen the movie so they would get an idea of how the movie goes and tells the story. Then go back and read the book to tell which of the stories was better announced from the movie to the book. After all, yes this was a good book I have read from J.K Rowling. I recommend others that enjoy these kinds of books to people because they will get a lot out of them.

Summary: The best book I've ever read in my life!!!
Review: The second I started this wonderful classic, I couldn't put it down, litteraly. The first night I started it, I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. reading it. This book is very intense, and even more creative. I'm 13, and I've read a lot of books, but nothing like this. It's wierd how all the little details in the book are all tied together in the end. I didn't even know about this book until my grandpa that lives in Los Angeles gave both current Harry Potter books to me for my birthday, and I can't thank him enough. This is the best book ever written,(the second best is The Chamber of Secrets), and if you haven;t read it and don't own it you and a complete fool and don't know what your missing. Thanx.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
Review: The setting of the book was at Hogwarts and all around the school and outside the school. The main characters were Harry,Hagrid,Ron,Harmani. What happens is Harry finds out he's a wizard and he goes to Hogwarts. He then finds out about the Sorcerers stone is at Hogwarts and all the teachers are trying to protect it from Voldamort who wants to steal it.
I thought the book was pretty good but long. It had lots of action you really don't want to stop reading it.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Book Review
Review: The setting of the story takes place in London at the home of the Dursley's. Mr. Dursley worked as director of a firm called Grunnings. He was a big man with a fat neck and a mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin, blonde and very nosey. The Dursley's had a small son named Dudley who was the most wonderful child that had ever lived, in their eyes that is.
Everything was wonderful in their lives until one day Professor Dumbledore, accompanied by Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall, from Hogwart's school dropped a baby on the stoop outside the Dursley's home. The baby, whose name was Harry Potter, had come to live with the Dursley's when his parents were killed by an evil sorcerer named Voldemort. Harry was the only person to survive the attack. Professor Dumbledore, who was the Headmaster at Hogwart's felt that because Harry was already famous that he would send him to live with his Aunt and Uncle until he was of age to attend the School.
When Harry was of age, Hagrid, who was a big burly man and groundskeeper for the school, was sent to bring him to Hogwart's to begin his training as a wizard. The Dursley's, who had not treated Harry very well, were not happy to see Hagrid and refused to let Harry go with him.
While Harry was settling into the Dormitory at Hogwarts, he became very good friends with his roommate, Ron Weasley and another classmate Hermione Granger. These two would prove to be superb friends when Harry came face to face with his parent's killer. They helped him find the Sorcerer's stone and destroy Voldemort.
At the end of the school year, Harry went back to his Aunt and Uncle's home with a new and brighter outlook than he left with. He knew that he would have new adventures and he could hardly wait until summer was over.
We greatly enjoyed the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. We thought the author, J.K. Rowlings, did a wonderful job of adding vivid detail to keep the readers' interest. We had a mix of emotions while sharing in Harry's adventures. Even though this book has been surrounded by controversy, we feel it is a great story for people of all ages. It is full of humor, suspense and magic that fully engages the reader in what is going on. We enjoyed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone so much that we have continued our reading with the other books in the Harry Potter series. This book would be great for all grade levels and many subjects such as math, language arts, social studies, and science could eaily be integrated into any class. Sources that are readily available for use include: internet sites such as...the video of Harry Potter, and the book itself.
