Not what I thought Front cover was extremely creased and wrinkled. I expected it to be in better condition for the rating it was given.
Everuthing was perfect! First of all, as always buying for Amazon is a positive experience.
The book was a gift to my brother deployed in Iraq. He loved it! and asked for the entire collection!
Fun read I recently decided to read this book, after seeing the latest movie. It's a fun read.The Best Book Ever! The Harry Potter series has to be the best all time collection. The journey starts with the sorcerers stone. We are introduced to Harry at the young age of 11. He is vunerable and we are drawn in by this tragic life. Then his luck changes when he gets a visit by Hagrid. An incredible life is shown to Harry and we begin to follow him in the Magic realm. He meets his life long friends, goes to Hogwarts and he untangles a devious plot to steal the sorcerers stone. Harry and his friends delight and entertain you. You won't fail to enjoy this first book of the Harry Potter series. Wonderful Story, Worth a Read I imagine most of us have seen the movies if we have not read the books. I was disappointed in the Half-Blood Prince movie so I turned to the book to make up for it (yes, I started at book 6, then went to 7, and now I've started at the beginning). The books are just as enjoyable as the movies (and hopefully the Half-Blood Prince movie will grow on me). Of course there are more details given in this book than the movie and there are differences, but I honestly believe neither is better than the other. It was great to read and see how Ron and Harry trully did not care for the "know-it-all" Hermoine before a certain event basically prevented them all from NOT being friends. The personalities and actions are very much in lock-step with the age of the characters and is very well done. I couldn't help but get wrapped up in the fantasy world and loved every single minute I spent reading this book. For me it's hard to find a story that will actually keep me interested enough to read the book and not just "wait for it to come to movie" and so on. I've become a bit lazy I suppose; but this story has gotten me strongly back into books. Hopefully my daughter will take my lead and get into reading more herself.
