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

5403 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2003

First and Second Readings
Writing a review on the first Harry Potter book seems superfluous, as it must surely be one of the most reviewed books in the history of literature. I will therefore refrain (more or less) from summarizing the story, and instead compare my first reading to my recent re-reading of the book. In my first reading, I met a boy called Harry, who was the quintessential "uncool kid." He grew up at ...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

J. K. Rowling

Tandem Library, 2002

Success Number 4
The Goblet of Fire is truly a special book. Delving even deeper (and darker) into the villainy that lies just below the calm surface, so to speak, Rowling succeeds...yet again. The plot of the series thickens, what with fellow students turning their back on Harry, who is taking part in an old, old, old Wizard Tournament. It all culminates in a climatic battle with the flesh and blood Voldemort ...

A Novel To Be Revered
This is my second reading of this contemporary classic. I generally disapprove of long books, but this was one tome I regretted closing for the last time. It is truly an awesome accomplishment. LONESOME DOVE was written at a time when popular culture had recently abandoned the Western as too hackneyed and bathetic to entertain. Then comes this massive novel opening up numerous unforseen ...

A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

In her novel Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine adds a whole new twist to the familiar story of Cinderella. With the use of point of view, characterizations and themes, ...

PCE Student Review
My Favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. This book is funny. My favorite characters are Harry Potter and Ron Weasly. Harry's funny and adventurous. He's fun and likes to try new things and has lots of courage. Ron is funny also, and likes to do almost what Harry does. Ron and Harry make the Harry Potter series joyful. The author's writing style is joyful ...

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

This is a man's book!
The cover and title make it sound like a chick book. This is a book for everyone. There is high adventure throughout. The story is amazing and will touch your heart as well as your need for speed and your need to identify with various tough guy heroes. The tone stays mostly neutral on the pros and cons of the Islam/US strife, just sicking to telling the story. You will not want to put this ...

Life Changing at 12
When I first picked up this book, I was the typical bookworm. I knew every corner of my middle school's library. Most often, I'd find myself in the mythology section or classic plays. However, one day, I took a fateful journey into the fantasy section. I was 12 years old, timid and accepting of even the worst opinions of me. When I read it, I was enlightened. A whole five foot one, (four foot ...

Heirloom Stuff!
After having read a copy of this to my oldest grandson, and having the pages worn and dog eared, I had to buy one each for my other 2 grandsons. They are as mesmerized as the 1st was. Can't get enough of it. Fascinated by the little boy's antics. Constantly amused.

Robert Stanek

Reagent Press, 2002

Magical
Comparisons to Lewis, Dahl and other great writers are right on, Stanek's Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books are some of the best I've read in a long time. Kids in my classroom have enjoyed these books for years and I always enjoy seeing when all the books are checked out of my class library. In this first book, Stanek introduces the characters and his amazing fantasy world. The reader ...

You must read this book if you have elderly parents
After reading this book I learned I was not losing my mind. I was frustrated dealing with my difficult parents & in-laws. The book helped me to understand what was happening to them and gave me the knowledge to seek the appropriate support and intervention. Although my elderly family remains difficult, I am much better equipped to deal with them.
