Summary: I love Harry Potter!
Review: What a wonderful book! Harry Potter is so fun. It is a shame about his prents though, it sounds like he probally would have had a much better life, than he did at the Dursley's! I am currently on the second book. I can't wait until the fourth and fifth and sixth and all those others come out. I just have one question- Are Harry and Hermione going to be a couple later on? They'd make a very nice pair! Well I've got to go, I just wanted to say what a wonderful book this is!

Summary: Harry Potter: Not Just for Kids Anymore
Review: What a wonderful book! I ordered it simply because I needed to see what the phenonomen was about. (I understood it less than even Pokemon!) And much to my suprise, I could not put the book down for two straight days. It is a marvelous fairy tale, filled with contagious characters and Rowling's exquisite details! I recommend this book for anyone of any age. It's a keeper--and a classic.

Summary: A magical read¿in more ways than one!
Review: What a wonderful book! I read it after my 11-year old son suggested it as a change from my usual reading fare of history and biography. It turned out to be much more than just a springtime reading diversion...it became for me a "magical" reading experience in more ways than one. I was quickly captivated by Harry, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Hermoine, and yes, even the nasty Dursleys, Snape, and Draco Mafoy. Hogwarts came to life for me. I found myself unable to put the book down because it was so exciting and much fun to read! It's easy to understand why my son (and so many kids just like him) love Harry Potter so much. J.K. Rowling proves herself a gifted writer of children's books, not only because the plot is good and the characters come to life, but also because her writing fires the imagination and teaches positive values. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a great book for kids of all ages...from 9 to 99. It's destined to be a classic of children's literature.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: What a wonderful diversion! I was looking for a new book by one of my 'regular' authors (Koontz, King, Stackpole, etc.) when I saw this book and remembered some internet talk about the series. I broke down and bought it, expecting a very 'basic' read. What a suprise! The visual imagery is wonderful and our protaganist is a very identifiable character. If a parent is looking for a book to interest their young child in the joy of reading, I would direct you to this book. (Am I the only one that thinks there's more to Hagrid than's being let on?) Oh by the way. . .I'm 'over 40' and a banker. Read this book/Read this book to your child!

Review: What an amazing book. We went on a long road trip with my three children,6,4 & 3 and they listened mesmorized for eight hours.If we had to stop the tape for some reason the quiet in the back seats was broken by their pleas for us to turn it back on! Now they ask for certain parts of the book again by tape, tape #2 or tape #5. They love it and I also can't hear it enough. Jim Dale is FANTASTIC. Thanks J.K. Rowling for writing such a great story. I know I will read it for many years to come and so will my children.

Summary: Waiting in line
Review: What an awesome collection of books! My daughter read them first (all three in three days), then it was my wife's turn. By the time she was done I had a feeling this one would be great. I have not been able to put them down. Reminds me a lot of Roald Dahl's work but in some ways even better. Dahl has a way to grip you emotionally (I'll never forget the first time I read the passage when Charlie unwraps the golden ticket), but Rowling keeps you on edge through the entire books. Can't wait till the others come out. Why stop at seven? Harry will no doubt be headmaster of Hogwarts some day. Keep them coming.

Summary: Sha-ZAM! Zounds! Superb! Phenomenal!
Review: What an excellent novel! Having heard about this exalted book, I read it. In one sitting. Not that it's short, but that it's . . . WONDERFUL! I nearly laughed out loud at the stupid antics of the Dursleys, and shared Harry's every emotion. This is a thriller, an adventure, a wonder! Every plot twist jerks you in another direction. And I feel that the 9-12 age level is unjust - - I'm 13 and am a loyal fan. But that's no biggie; my mom has read the books and can't wait for #4! Hurry up, J.K. Rowling!

Summary: Astonishingly Impressed
Review: What an excellent read! I will be the first to admit my skepticism of the "Harry Potter hype," but to my amazement, this book was nothing of the sort which I had imagined. It is well-written and has the ability to be enjoyed on multiple levels. I devoured all 309 pages in a few short sittings. I just wanted to keep reading and never wanted to stop. I am currently reading the 2nd book and am going to go rent the movie to make a comparison. If you should choose to read this, you will not be disappointed, take it from a skeptic. Have fun at Hogwarts!

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: What an exciting adventure. My heart was with Harry from page one where living with the Durdleys is so abusive to his win of the "cup". This is one book I found myself finding excuses to read. I am 36 and fantasy books don't usually hold my interest past page one. Harry is fun, easy reading wizardly tale of a boy who finds out his parents were wizards and he himself is blessed with the "charms" of their gift. He finds adventure in "finding" the precious stone and meets some really great friends along the way. I would recommend a child of 10+ as there are words, and details that a younger child would not understand. I wish I weren't a muggle...lol, because living the life as fun and adventurous as Harry would be so much fun! Highly recommend this book!

Summary: KID'S BOOK?
Review: What an incredible book! However, I am a senior citizen and found the book totally interesting & engrossing. As a matter of fact, I read it in one day (and night, I should say) since I couldn't put it down. All the local bookstores were out of all of these books, so I ordered from Amazon.com - and saved quite a small bundle as well. This series is superb - for all ages!
