Summary: NEVER READ ANYTHING LIKE IT!
Review: When I bought this book it was about six months before it became very popular. Acutually my dad bought it for me because he saw something about it on TV. Before I read the book I didn't think I was going to like it because it looked kind of thick. When I started reading it my mind changed immedeatly! I couldn't put it down! I loved how the author used big words I couldn't understand that led to big adventures that would get you so absorbed that you thought you were actually in thet book. I liked it so much that every time a sequal comes out I buy it immediatly. I highly recommend this book to anyone......even adults.

Summary: Great Reading
Review: When I bought this book, I thought this is very challenging book for me because I have been studying English at an International School for one and half year, so I was thinking I would read it when I have well English skills. However, everybody recommended this book with confidence, therefore I decided to read this book. I think this bookfs theme is the world of magic gives everyone courage that how Harry Potter protected from the enemy with his friends. As well, I was impressed that Harry Potter lives alone without parents. I would like to recommend this book to everyone in the world, especially people who like fantasy story like me!

Summary: A joy to read
Review: When I brought this book this book home a couple months ago (neither of us knew anything about it) and told my fiance what I bought, she politely said "Oh, a book about a boy that is a wizard ... looks interesting" while giving me a look like I was crazy.I finished reading it in a few days and she told me she was going to start reading it. She stayed up late (and went to work late too) for a few days until she finished. She then gave me the sequel as a gift (although I couldn't get it out of her hands until she was done) and we just ordered the Prince of Azbakan from Amazon UK to get it now. I highly recommend all of these books, but suggest you read them first before telling your significant others about them.

Summary: To Bad It Isn't True!
Review: When I finished reading this book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I thought, "to bad this isn't true, and possible!" To be wisked away from problems that happen in the real world, and be sent to a place where you are secluded from "muggles" to learn magic and fun, it is only just a dream come true. I completely recommend this book-a compelling story for all ages, young or old. (oh, and if you get hooked, remember, there is more to come-SEVEN!)

Summary: It is a book for all!
Review: When I first borrow the book from my library, I was expecting a children story. But it turns out to be an unexpected treat. The characters and plot are all so believeable that they have a real feel to them. The story is.. simply amazing, it is light fantasy at its best. I can hardly wait for the rest of the series.

Summary: Destined to go down in history as the best children's book
Review: When I first bought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I left it in the shelves for a few days. I really had no idea what is was, and only bought it because all my friends had it. On a boring day, I starting reading it, and couldn't stop! From the cruel Privet Drive, to the enchanted Hogwarts, it felt like a parallell world. The book is also funny, not because J.K. Rowling is the greatest comedian, but because the characters are so lifelike, and their particular antics and strange behaviors, we can relate to. When Harry's living with the Dursleys, it's very hilarious, because of the Dursleys' pure paranoia of the magic world, and atrocious living conditions for Harry. All the descriptions are so clear, like Uncle Vernon's huge face that can go from red to green faster than a traffic light. I won't give the story away, for all of you who are strangely wondering if you're gonna read this or not. The story starts as an prologue. explaining why Harry's lives with spiders in the cupboard with the horrible Dursleys. When Harry is 10, letters start coming, saying that he's accepted to Hogwarts, a school for wizards. So then his adventures begin. That's all I'm going to say. The wonderful thing about Harry Potter is about its vivid characters. You'll really trust Albus Dumbledore, and if he was actually a real person, and you'll detest Malfoy and Snape, who'll do anything to make Harry miserable. J.K Rowling has done a great, near impossible thing. She made kids want to read, not because their parents force them to. Kids don't care if traditionally, reading is not the coolest pasttime, they just want to read Harry Potter. Sometimes, I don't like Ms. Rowling. You know why? Because she made me completely dependent on Harry Potter! I don't know what I'll do when the series ends. Lots of times, I feel jealous of Harry, even though his world can never be true, the books describe it so well, that it feels real. This great book launched the magical series, that should go down in history as the best children's book series of all time.

Summary: I keep reading and reading, THIS BOOK IS DA BOMB
Review: When I first got the book on my eleventh birthday ,I put it aside.Even though Mom said it was a very popular, I was reluctant. About a week later,I read the first two chapters and I liked them.I then read the whole book. Mom was right.Last Christmas I got the second and third book. I read them automatically and loved them just as much as the first book.

Review: when i first got this book i just shrugged it off and put itaway thinking it would be stupid. boy was i wrong! this is one of thebest books i have ever read. it is beyond comparison with other books, except the lord of the rings series and the hobbit. and all those adults that think this book will warp your kids minds and make them join the occult think again! i am 12 and this book won't do that, but bring your kids to like reading a lot more than they already do, because thats what it has done with me. this book is awesome.

Summary: Just straight, fun imagination
Review: When I first got this book I tought it would be just another fully comercial and fancy fashioned work, without any literary value. But as soon I started reading it prooved to be a masterpiece of imagination. Rowling gets to describe characters, artifacts, situations and creatures that go beyond our wildest dreams, with the geniality that at the end of the book we get to know this objects and people in a way we think they are real. Last time I was watching ESPN I hoped someday they would televise the Quidditch World Cup!, as weird as that sounds!
