The first book on a magical journey. The Harry Potter series and the wizarding world developed within it is unparalleled in modern literature. (0 more)
It's written much simpler than the later books. (0 more)
A classic but written for a younger audience than the later books
I love Harry Potter. I got this book at the age of 7 and it definitely changed my life. This is a wonderful childrens story and accessible to a younger audience. This book is set before the series gets too dark so I would recommend it for all ages. However the characters are a bit one dimensional at times compared to the later books.

Wonderfully daft
After watching the tv series, I knew what to expect from the book and plot wise, there is very little difference between the two. But as always, the book is a lot better than the series.

I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett, and this is a wonderful story showcasing his storytelling talents. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of British humour which comes across a lot better in the book than it does in the show. It’s a great story with some brilliant characters, although I do think it’s a rather unthreatening irreverent take on the end of the world, but i suppose that’s Pratchett all over.

This is the first book I've read written by this author and I was completely engaged with the story line and characters. I must now read the series!!!

This is the 2nd book in Baldacci's Camel Club series. Just like the 1st it was a fast paced thriller. This time it involved a casino owner, con men, & a defense contractor. Not to mention the Library of Congress, book restoreres & librarians. Oliver Stone is on his game again, as is Baldacci. Great read!

Bester's biography from a kid to the opening of the Babylon 5 TV series. There are some interesting parts, but it's often a dull, try book that still tries to cover too much territory.

I started reading this book the night I watched the movie because I found the characters to be so sweet. Was not disappointed and have already finished the series. I found this book to be refreshing and simple. It feels like a story I have heard before and yet has a sweetness that is unique.
  
I'm really liking this series but the whole will they/won't they is beginning to drive me mad. I'm assuming it's going to be a slow burn as things are slowly changing but after that kiss in the first book...and some of the moments they shared in this...? *sigh*

Off to buy book 3
