Summary: Simply fantastic
Review: Even though I am not a child, I simply adore Harry Potter. These books have the ability to spark the imagination in almost anyone. Harry, who is abused by his horrible relatives, finds the courage inside himself to be strong and overcome his hardships. In a time of dysfunctional families and societies, this book promotes self confidence and courage to be unique. I honestly believe that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will one day be as highly thought of as the Wizard of Oz and the Hobbit. These books are not evil. Nor do they premote Satanism or Paganism. They simple premote imaginative thinking!! I only wish I had been blessed with such a book when I was a child.

Summary: CLS
Review: Even though I'm older than the people this book was ment for I found it very interesting and can't wait to start on book #2. It was surprisingly hard to put down and I found myself still reading it until the sun started coming up. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are interested in witches, warlocks, and wizards even the slightest amount possible.

Summary: 'Mazing!
Review: Even though the beginning is boring and most people won't like it too much, it gets much better as it goes on. This magical book will make you want to read on and on and stay reading through the night. It is about a witchcraft school and a boy named Harry who has been living with his misrable aunt and uncle. A five-star book for sure, and great fun for people from the ages of 6-106!

Summary: Finally, a book to inspire children to read!
Review: Even though the caption for the book says it is for 9-12 yearolds, it can be read at almost any age! (I'm 40 and just read it).The adventures of Harry and friends are well written, and humorous. I have a 2 year old son, and he will actually sit and listen to me read it to him. I can't wait to read the 2nd and 3rd books in the series, and have ordered the 4th book. This is a well written book, that deserves to be on your bookshelf!

Review: Even though this book has been hailed as a wonderful book for children, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I wanted to read it before I let my children dive into it, and I found myself being completely delighted by the story! It is definitely a must-read for youngsters, and for the young at heart. It is delightful, whimsical, and a joy to read. I highly recommend it for those with vivid imaginations!

Review: Even though thisbook starts slow at first and may even be a little boring at first, keep reading. I promise it will be very exciting at the end. It is a grat introduction to Harry, Hogwarts, and Harry's friends. Well written.

Summary: You don't need to be a kid to enjoy this book!
Review: Ever miss reading a book that is light hearted but still adult enough for you not to feel silly reading it? Then pick up a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone and you will find yourself a fan of the series. I read this book and had to order the second through fourth one after finishing it. It's so hard to put it down.If you enjoy classic wizards and witches stories with English style writing (trust me, it's funny!) then you should consider picking up this book. It will make you thirst for more.

Summary: A New Age classic.
Review: Ever since i saw the movie twice in the theater, it got me hooked into the world of " Harry Potter". This is the first in the series, it tells the tale of a young boy who was raised by his mean-spirited uncle and aunt but discovers that he has magic powers, now he is sent to Hogwart's school where he can learn how to control his magic but there is a secret in the school that Harry must discover. A fabulous Book of wit, humor, excitment and when you read this book, it puts you right in the world of Harry Potter. If you enjoy the works of Caroll, Peter S. Beagle and Tolkein then this book is for you. Also recommended: Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Summary: Love the books, but hate this Collector's Edition
Review: Ever since my wife coaxed me to read the Harry Potter books, I have been an immense fan of the series, right down to the Hogwarts notebook that I take to business meetings. So, when I saw a display for the Sorcerer's Stone Collector's Edition, I just had to check it out. What a disappointment. ... [Y]ou get a leather binding, shrunken cover art, and some pressed gold. Oh, there's the illustration of Harry drawn by Rowling, but that's not really worth this cost. I found the book to be rather too flashy, gaudy even, and much prefer the simplicity of the UK special editions (which, by the way, cost half as much as this book and that includes the cost for shipping). Please know that I don't mind spending money on good editions of books I already have. The fact that I own 6 copies of Lord of the Rings will attest to this. But, I just am not excited about this pricey collector's edition. So, instead of purchasing this book, I would recommend popping over to Amazon UK and getting TWO of *those* special editions (keep in mind when you're looking that the original title of Sorcerer's Stone is Philosopher's Stone), because, really, part of the joy of collecting is that you will have something unique and rare. How many kids on your block have the unedited UK editions of this great story?

Summary: This was the best best best BEST book I've ever read.
Review: Everone who knows how to read should read this book. Harry is so lifelike. I could always feel how the charactors felt and know how they were going to feel before it was even written down. I admit I'm a fast reader, but that book only took me about four hours in all to finish! But thats only because it was so exciting. Usally it takes me at least a day to finish a 200 page book. Harry is also very smart and athletic I thought he would be smart and horribly at sports, but I was wrong again. As you see this book has lots of surprises. In conclusion READ THIS BOOK IT'S GREAT!
