Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is for people of all ages. I'm a teenager, and I absoulutly fell in love with Harry. The story is fun and fast, and you get exited just to read the first chapter! I read it over and over...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Archetypal yet Original
Review: This book is full of archetypes such as the struggle between good and evil, a prophet figure (Dumbledore), and the hero (Potter) just to name a few. At the same time Rowling has succeeded in making this book entirely her own with a surprise around every corner. This book will honestly enthrall both child and adult. The ending was stunningly ironic creating that needed satisfaction at the completion of a novel. It gives you a desire to delve right into book 2 to continue partaking of Rowling's passionate talent.

This book introduces the hero and numerous other friends and takes him through adventures of learning he is a wizard from Hagrid, enrolling in Hogwarts, searching its secret passageways with his invisible cloak bequeathed by his dead father, becoming a Quidditch champion and facing one of his greatest fears and the dreaded person whose name no one dares repeat.

I think this writing shows the talent of someone who knows the art of writing. She puts obstacles in front of the main character at all the right moments. She cunningly includes principles in the book such as educating oneself and avoiding greed. Her imagination is unique enough to interest an adult like myself and yet still catch the heart of a young child. Anyone who can get kids to pick up a book this long deserves three cheers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So captivating I couldn't put it down!
Review: This book is full of excitement, is wonderfully written and is sure to keep your attention! It is the story of a boy whose parents are killed. He lives with relatives he doesn't exactly get along with but eventually learns he can do a little magic. He goes off to school at "Hogwarts" a school for witches and wizards full of ghosts and magic spells. Here he encounters all sorts of poeple and things, gets into trouble and saves the day! This book is fun for kids and adults. I am the 27 year old nanny of a six year old boy. His parents recently started to read this book to him out loud. I picked the book up this week and started reading it to him in the fourth chapter. I was amazed at how it kept my attention and entertained me. I found I became very involved and wanted to learn more and more about the characters. Before I knew it, I was caught up in the story and began to read it for me, not for the child I keep. I hung on every word and each day, when I left my job, I hoped that the parents wouldn't pick it up and continue reading it...I didn't want to miss out on anything! It is a great book and I highly recommend it. If your child isn't reading much or thinks reading is boring, try this book! The six year old I read it to and I both loved it! I'm getting it to read again since I missed the beginning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of Fun
Review: This book is fun to read! Harry Potter is a rather abused 11-year old orphan, who lives in a cupboard under the stars with his mean aunt and uncle and their brutish son. One day, Harry receives his first ever letter. It seems his mother was a witch, his father was a wizard, and now Harry is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! On the train to school, Harry meets fellow magical kids Ron and Hermoine, who become his very good friends. Together the trio goes through a school year and deal with suspicious teachers, play quidditch (a game played on broomstick), and even solve a mystery involving a battle with Voldemort, the evil wizard who killed Harry's parents.

At the heart of the story is the close bond between Harry, Ron, and Hermoine. They are loyal, courageous, and true-blue, right to the very scary conclusion. This is one page-turner you simply won't want to put down, whether you're a child or an adult. The writing is nop-notch and you'll soon be off for the bookstore for the other books in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun, can't put this book down until the last word!
Review: This book is fun, exciting and uses great imagination. It is one of the greatest books I have ever read! I can't wait to read the second one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've read in years.....
Review: This book is fun, fast, and fiesty. It's got everything a good kids' book needs; humor, action, and just a little bit of comedy. I've never read a book that kept me laughing so much! And, people, this is from an actual kid!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sucks balls
Review: This book is gay and needs to go to hell because of all theivl things

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good
Review: This book is good. But the movie is better. Harry Poter's books are a little bit scary. This book is better than the second. This book is more interesting. You should read this book if you are Harry Poters fan, if you're not leave this book alone, it not going to be interesting for you!
Trust me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: This book is great for all ages. Many kids read it in their elementary school years. I read it in high school. The story is very captivating and the good vs. evil keeps you in tuned with the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for any age!
Review: This book is great for any age. I am eighteen years old and I loved it. Over the forth of July I began reading it to several small children who are now begging their parents to buy the book so that they can hear the rest of the story. Now that I have fineshed the book, I can't wait to buy the next book in the series. When I first started reading, I thought the book was going to be predictable. But it wasn't at all. It's one of those books where you find yourself smiling or laughing and then you realize it and look around to make sure nobody saw you. If you are even considering buying this book, go for it. You'll get your money's worth.
