Title: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Series: Harry Potter - 1st book
Author: J.K. Rowling
Read Before: yes
My Comments: It’s hard to judge just this book without considering the series as a whole and getting biased. Anyway, it’s a good book (obviously), and it reveals a lot about the world of Harry Potter. I wish the author had managed to put more in, coz it’s just teasing us by giving us a tidbit. The world sucks you in right from the start, leaving you anticipating and hungering for what is going to be revealed next. One thing I wished the author could do was flesh out the ending a bit more, it felt too short and brief. Although it’s great right now, it would have been awesome if the process on how Harry got through the traps were more detailed. Compared to the rest of the book, the climax felt too truncated. Either way, if you haven’t read this book, then you should… everyone should at least read this series.
Rating: 7/10
