Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review
Comment: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a wonderful book that is perfect for any child between the ages of 10-18 and adults. I think this because it has some complicated literature, but back to the point. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was written by J.K. Rowling who did a wonderful job on telling a story about a boy named Harry Potter who's parents died in a horrible accident when Harry was only a baby. Afetr this, he is forced to live with his only living relatives left, the Dursleys. As awful as life was for Harry, a magical and unexpected event lie ahead of him, one that will change his life.
Throughout the book, Harry meets many new characters and makes a few freinds who each have interesting personalities. He also experiences a thrilling adventure filled with many challenges. Over all, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a great book to read, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Summary: I Couldn't Put it Down!
Comment: I saw this book in the library and thought, hey I'll give it a shot. I did, and i didn't put it down for a second! I only put it down to take a shower and eat! Sleep? Who needs sleep when you are reading something as great as Harry Potter! I didn't even put it down at school! Really, I ran into poles and stuff. Oh, and I knocked over the boy I like...(laugh here).

Summary: A great book for anyone and everyone
Comment: As the title says, anyone can enjoy this book. For fans of fantasy titles, and sorcery books. I would recomend the book to anyone and everyone because it is simply a book that caters to every age. It introduces you to the character of Harry Potter and his struggles under the supervision of not so nice uncle and aunt Mr and Mrs. Dursley and their son Dudley. He recieves a letter from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and his life is changed forever. He also learns the fate of his parents.
Personally, I could read this book over and over again. Some people say it's overrated and it sucks but I think otherwise. A great intro to harry Potter, I wouldn not recomend seeing the movie first. Buy the book, it's waay better.

Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, piglike cousin Dudley. A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, first published in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, continues to win major awards in England. So far it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children's Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave kids clamoring for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Ages 8 to 13) --Karin Snelson
