J. K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

Pros: Excellent Storytelling

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you haven't read this book, I say go out, take it out at the library or buy it. It's hard not to love Harry.

Review: Unless you've been living under a rock, there's no possible way you could dodge all the hype and mentioning of J.K. Rowling's award-winning, ever so popular story.

I had heard these things, and I had bought the first of the series awhile...

The Bottom Line: Excellent book good for all ages. Once you get into it you cant stop reading. Once you finish this one you'll have to buy the others easy reading

Review: I recently bought this book, because it was on my summer reading list. These books are not exactly my type of reading, and I had a feeling I would not be able to get into the book. After talking with the guy at the bookstore, who has read all of the...

Pros: Wonderfully written, entertaining, no foul language

Cons: Christians will need to discuss fantasy with young readers

Review: Well! My sister-in-law asked if my fifteen year old son would enjoy having the Harry Potter books. I didn't know a lot about the books, but had heard enough to tell her that he would, indeed, enjoy having them for Christmas. He got a pull-over. My...

Pros: TOP NOTCH CHILDREN'S BOOK

Cons: Children seven years and younger may be frightened a little

Review: Being an Anglophile, I took particular delight in the magical England of author J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, her debut novel about the adventures of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, a curious trio of "new best friends" at...

Pros: many mysteries and many pages

Cons: none

Review: Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone is one of the best books to come out in a long time. This book has a bunch of pages but once you start reading it is about impossible to stop. The first day I started reading this book I read for about three...

Pros: Very captivating story

Cons: magic and sorcery

Review: I love this book!! I have an 11 year old daughter who has a bookcase and a half full of books. Most of these have only been read halfway through. I have tried every kind of book that I could find to try to keep her interested without any luck. It's...

Pros: Page-turner and beautiful use of language

Cons: I can't find any

Review: This book is not only for children. I am a twenty-five year old "child" who couldn't put this book down. It is so magical and fantastic that the pages seemed to turn themselves!

Harry Potter is a dynamic character, so mistreated in his...

Pros: great characters and humor

Cons: a little predictable

Review: As a child, I always wondered why there were so many silly childrens' books. I couldn't relate to the characters, nor did I really like them. I found solace in reading Roald Dahl's books and I miss his writing and humor terribly since his passing...

Pros: Entertaining, not overly simplified

Cons: It had to end

Review: It seems that the catchphrase of the 90s was "listen to your inner child". I never really knew what that meant until I read "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone". Frankly, I think J.K. Rowlings IS my inner child - this book is so engaging, I...
