Book Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Summary: 5 Stars
The story Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is about a boy growing up with his non-magical, mean aunt, uncle, and cousin, but little dose he know that he is magical either. His wizard parents were killed by dark lord Voldmort, but when he tried to kill Harry he was defeated. He has now lived with his aunt and uncle for all most 11 years now, but every thing changed when he was invited to Hogwarts, school of witch craft and wizardry. All he has had to do so far is battle through his classes and homework, but that all about to change in a battle for his life!
I recommend this book heart-stopping to anyone of the age of 8 and older. Harry Potter is by far the best book I have ever read! J.K. Rowling, the woman who writes these books, is one of the best authors and I would recommend her books to anyone who would like a fantastic, edge of your seat book like Harry Potter. I would give this book a top of the list 5 stars.
Book Review: Audio is Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Dale's reading of the book was excellent and I do have to say that I have not listened to an audio book that I have enjoyed more. Dale's changing of his voices to mimic the character was very interesting yet not over done. I could envision each character due to his inflections and changes in speech patterns. During the entire eight hours of the reading of this audio book, not once was I bored by the reading of it. I can only hope he will read the next book in this series.
Alas, I have been very late in reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone but I can guarantee that I'll be much quicker in getting the next book. I truly enjoyed this book even if it was originally written for children - this book is enjoyable no matter what your age and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of fantasy.
Book Review: two worlds at the same time
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was just out of this world, literally. It's like once you start reading you cant stop unless you fall asleep. The author, J.K. Rowling really captures the scenery. This book is so discriptive that it's almost like your there. I've never read any of her books before but i decided hey why dibnt i take a chance with this book, and it was worth it.
The main character, Harry Potter, lives with his aunt and uncle because his parents died. He never knew that his parents were wizards. Until one day when he finds that he needs to attend Hogwarts school. He meets so many new people and learms about magic and true friendship. Then Ron, Hermione, and harry all find a secret door way that leads to the sorcerers stone, where he finds voldemort. Spunds pretty good so far huh?! Well then i suggest you go and read it!
Book Review: Book One in the Harry Potter series
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Potter is young orphan boy that lives with his horrible aunt and uncle. One ordinary day, Harry miraculously discovers that he is a wizard. He is soon accepted into Hogwarts, (a school of witch craft and wizardry). At Hogwarts Harry begins to find many new and exiting adventures. Will he have to face the dark wizard that killed his parents and also tried to kill him?
This is an adventurous, yet heart-warming story that will keep you at the edge of your seat. This is a great book for both boys and girls of all ages. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes daring and unpredictable tales. J.K. Rowling adds just the right twists and turns to make this book unforgettable. This is the first and best book of the intact series. This is a truly a remarkable story.
Book Review: Truly great fun for all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
Call me a Muggle, but I'm finally getting around to reading the Harry Potter books. We've seen the movies but haven't read the books yet (well, my husband bought and read Deathly Hallows without having read the rest!). I found the storytelling superb and could see why it would grab the attention and imagination of readers of all ages. The story just flies along and takes you with it. The characters are smartly written, even if they're either a little too obviously good guys or bad guys. Except Snape, of course, who I find the most interesting character so far. If you're trying to get your young ones interesting in reading, these books should do the trick. And if you're a grownup, you should read them, too. Outstanding writing and just great fun.
