Book Reviews of Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6)
Book Review: Excellent deal, great for catching up before Book 7
Summary: 5 Stars
I had resisted this series for 10 years, thinking that I didn't have an interest in children's books, and because I didn't find other fantasy stories, like Lord of the Rings, interesting. Finally, thinking I should at least read the books since they're such a cultural phenomenon, I bought this box set. I am extremely happy that I did! - I was sucked in immediately and read Books 1-6 straight through, one right after the other, and am now eagerly awaiting Book 7.
At about $30 for 6, this set is a great deal. I am surprised that anyone would say that they are low-quality books - they are sewn rather than glued, and I find them to be very durable, paper, bindings, and all. I'll admit that now that I am somewhat obsessed with the series, I wish I had the hardcover versions (or even the "adult" versions which are available in Canada) and I wish that all 7 of my books would "match." But these are high-quality paperbacks.
Book Review: Perfect For Precocious Readers
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book set as a gift for my little 8y/o niece who is an advanced reader and asked for it. Her mother says that she literally attacked the books reading in every nook and cranny in the house and taking the books every place she goes. They both loved the set because it was easier than the full-size versions for those little hands to handle. In addition, the ease of having a compartment to manage the books was most appreciated as well as pretty. So, this set is a huge hit for my little reader and her mother. Needless to say my niece is completely enamored with the stories and her teachers are impressed with her ability to read, understand, and retain the content making over 95% on her related tests for reading points! And, I am a very happy aunt having purchased something that lived up to its reputation for quality literature and exceeded my expectations for a quality product!Book Review: The Great Harry Potter Series!

What more can I say about Harry Potter and his world? It is absolutely amazing as you become engrossed into each book, each chapter, each page, each word. The books have helped rejuvenate the reading monster that laid dormant within my soul for the last few years. I read all 6 books in 3 weeks. I started Order of the Phoenix on a Friday and finished it late Saturday night and started the Half-Blood Prince Sunday morning to complete it by Monday afternoon! I recommend all of these books to children, teenagers, and adults alike. There are those out there that are hesitant about the books and solely see the movies. I was a skeptic. I am a former College Quarterback and had heard great things about the books, but never considered it. Then one day I took a leap of faith and began reading and I've never looked back. Thank you JK Rowling and I love Harry Potter and his world!Book Review: Amazing!!!! You need to read before seeing the movies!!

Don't even think for ONE minute that you can just go and watch the movies and understand it all!! I was one of those fools that thought I could do that! One of my friends told me I could not talk Harry Potter with her until I read the books. I decided to buy all the books after that. I read these 6 in 11 days and found how different they are and that there is SO much you need to know from the books to be able to understand many things in the movies! After reading the books, MANY, MANY things made sense to me from the movies that I never even thought about before. So many symbolical things which I am not going to ruin!
However, if you have NOT read the books OR seen the movies, I recommend these books for an amazing read! I got my best friend who was completely anti-Harry Potter HOOKED! Now we're always talking about it whenever we see each other!
Book Review: Great!

I am the type of person that was skeptical about Harry Potter... maybe because I loved the Narnia saga and thought nothing could be as good as that... or maybe I was simply too old for such magical childrens stuff. So it took me some time till I saw a couple of movies and still didn't fall in love with Harry.
But it was when I read Harry Potter that I really became trapped in the story. I read one book after the other addict style, I saw the movies in between, and even bought a Ministry of Magic t-shirt.
The books are fantastic! The Prisoner of Askaban is my favourite. And this boxed set is top! I enjoy reading paperbacks too because they don't weigh in the hands and you can read them lying, sitting, or standing in the train...
If you are a kid, almost 40 like me, or even 60 give yourself the chance to enjoy these books as much as I did!
