~When hearing about the Harry Potter books, I was skeptical. I
have read so many books that are about the same sort of thing,
and the authors absolutly murdered the whole idea. After
hearing about how good it was from several friends, i finally
tried reading it.
The begining, although very interesting, is somewhat hard to
get through. It is worth it, though. I fell in love with theis
book after the first couple of chapters. I found myself
reading it whenever possible. the plot is great, and~~ keeps
your attention.
Fantasy lovers will love this book, and I advise you to read
all the others, too. JK Rowling is a wonderful author, and
puts magic into books about magic!~ When Harry Potter came out
about seven years ago, Iron Table Lamps, I thought that
it was just some sort of fad that would die out. I looked
warily on all those children who loved the book so much. What
was all the commotion about, I thought? Years passed by and
Rowling produced more books. I kept my distance and didn't
read any of them. Soon however, my own brothers were starting
to read it. They sat fixated on her books for hours. I was
puzzled and didn't see what the big fuss was about. I just
assumed that her books weren't very good and were for little
kids. Soon however, my brothers told me to start reading it.
Finally, I budged and decided to would read the first book. So
I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. To my surprise,
it was actually a pretty good book. It's about the adventures
of Harry Potter, who is born a wizard although he's unaware of
his special powers. His young years of his life are lived with
his annoying relatives, the Dursleys. Iron lamps, He must
suffer through being treated like a second-class person while
his cousin Dudley is pampered. The book kept me reading all
the way until the end. There's lots of magic going on
throughout the book, with stuff disappearing and levitating
and walls opening and dragons. However, there's still an
interesting drama in this book. There's a lot of things that
appealed to me in this book. I liked how Harry Potter dealt
with his new powers. There's a good deal of humor of Iron in
this book too. The characters are unique and interesting. If
you haven't read any Harry Potter books yet, just
remember-it's never too late. |
