Summary: If I had ten kids I'd read it to each of them.
Review: This is a fantastic, can't wait to turn the next page adventure with a generous splash of humor and suspense. Robert Jordan get your act together or you'll loose all your customers to this series.

Summary: Good, but...
Review: This is a fine book, which will introduce readers to the world of wizards. But it's written so simply! If you're looking for the same blend of mystery and humor, but at the same time for books that absolutely respect the reader's intelligence, look for The Three Investigators! My kids prefer them--and there are ten of them in paperback now.

Summary: Charming and Delightful
Review: This is a fun and enchanting story that is great for readers of all ages! The characters are interesting and memorable. Our hero Harry Potter is an endearing and down-to-earth character, despite his extraordinary powers. Muggles can easily identify with his feelings as he comes to realize the extent of his wizardry. I originally bought this book for my little sister. However, after only one reading, I'm hooked on Harry Potter!

Summary: Harry "The Man" Potter Is NOT
Review: This is a good example of why I like the storyline. For one idea of a plague is laughable in the universe. In addition to that, Harry puts in various absurdities that can only be explained by a desire. Sentient crystals? A mutated bug that looks? A dueling Kid? I've always hated the idea of nature, whether it be in the form of cows or minerals. Absurb. The themes, while possibly repetitive, offer possibilites that Drive. In philosophical terms it's an all-encompasing classic tale of upheaval and revolution. This I don't know? What a bloody murder this is. But it's not dramatic, class, powerful upheaval. Now for a moment lets all do the BUMP!!!

Summary: Tolkien meets Enid Blyton and works!
Review: This is a good if untaxing escapist fantasy novel (and there is nothing wrong with that!). This is definitely a book written for children that adults will also enjoy as opposed to Tolkien's the Hobbit which is a book written for adults that children will also enjoy. Rowling has taken two very different styles or writing and blended them seamlessly in to a sparkling adventure story. When I read her novels I can definitely detect traces of Enid Blytons 'St Clare's' or the 'Mallory Towers' series. On the other hand there is such a Tolkien-esq feel to the books that I almost expect Gollum to appear as one of the characters. If you are looking for depth read I Claudius, but if you are after entertaining escapist fantasy read Harry Potter.

Summary: Look before you leap!
Review: This is a good story. Period. The characters are colorful, and the author has a great imagination. The only problem I have with this book is that there is SO much hype that comes with it. It IS an excellent story, but it's not worth all attention it's getting. It's meant to be read by children and young adults, (young being the key word here) not adults. Many adults have read it and enjoyed it, but there are a lot of kids books that adults would like. I just don't see why everyone thinks this is a work of a genius. If you're looking for a TRUE fantasy read that would actually deserve the attention that Harry Potter gets, try HIS DARK MATERIALS by Philip Pullman and anything by JRR Tolkein. The younger set will enjoy Gail Carson Levine and the Dinotopia novels.

Summary: Excellent read for Children and Adults (Teens too!!)
Review: This is a great book and I advise anyone with any sense of imaginaton to read it. The book has a simple yet interesting writing style and it is a great read. The simple writing can be understood by children as young as 7 or 8, maybe even younger but it also features some words that can improve the vocabulary of yor children. I have read this book around 15 times and it is still intereting. I am a teen and if I found it interesting, then children and adults of all ages should too. I would like to stress again that this is a great book and it is a great read.
