Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1 Audio CD)

Summary: Great writing, but...
Review: This book shows the talents of an extremely good author, and a very imaginative plot. Actually, this would be a superb book, if it werent for the hero himself, Harry Potter. Harry is a mean, lucky, and rather snobbish character who never deserves the fame he gets. In all three books of the series, he defeats his enemy through luck or the help of some other character. He recieves presents anually, but NEVER GIVES ANYONE ANYTHING BACK! He is rich, yet won't spend a cent on his 'friends'. I say, keep up the good storytelling, great plots, and fantastic use of imagination, BUT GET A NEW CHARACTER! Sheesh!

Summary: The start of a legend
Review: This book started it all. From the time I read the first sentence to the last I couldn't put the book down. I knew then that I was addicted and I needed to read the rest of the books. I love them all. I think everyone should read this book and get caught up in the imagination of it.

Summary: Jacob Allred great reveiw
Review: This book started to make me read other books. Because it was the best book that I have every read. It was cool. They use there magic for games. I have never read a book that was so exciting. I'll never get board of it. The characters always went on adventures. I want to have adventures like Harry.

Summary: Surprisingly great!
Review: This book surprised me as to how it got my attention and kept it. I thought it would just be a little kids' book and I did not expect what I got. I think it was a great book and a very good introduction to the following books.

Summary: Pure Joy!
Review: This book swept me away, and now my colleagues (!) are borrowing it. The Chicago Tribune wrote about "Harry Potter.." last October. They could tell that the publisher had made two jackets for it: one with a drawing for kids, and one with a black&white photography for adults (who were reading it behind newspapers...). Any which version you get hold of: enjoy!! Regards from Helene 8)

Review: This book swept the world by storm. Book one in what is said to be a 7 book series is great! although it's the easiest to readf and takes a while to et into it (like most first books of series) it is still a great book, having very few pages you will want more and fast. Great book!

Summary: A wonderful read for any age!
Review: This book took me all of 2 hours to finish. The characters are incredibly engaging, the dialogue is smart and funny, and the plot drags you in and makes you believe. Buy the book, read it yourself, read it to your kids, recommend it to anyone who will listen. And then, go read the sequel.
