| | Customer Reviews: Quality of Reader, not quality of book. (06 January 2009)The problem suffered by the Harry Potter 'Saga' isn't that they are particularly poorly written books, nor that they are better or worse than 90% of the mush that counts for children's literature. The problem is that they are not loved because of the stories but simply because they are read. What I mean is, before Harry Potter came along, many of my friends, relatives and aquaintances didn't really read anything. They bought in to the media hype about these books and so decided to give them a go, unfortunately they have mistaken a love of reading with the love of what they've read. These same friends and aquaintances have to this day read nothing other than Mr Potter, they see it as the be all and end all of literature, which is sad really. One last thing, this is a childrens book. There's nothing wrong with enjoying one and if you are above the age of 14 and want to read it then fine but do me a favour. Don't buy the one with the 'grown up' cover. It really is rather pathetic. THE BEST HARRY POTTER BOOK (02 December 2008)This is the best Harry Potter book by far. Once you have read all of them watched the films, if you come back to Philosphers Stone and you read about the beginging you will probably agree with me. Its the first time at Hogwarts, when he meets Ron Weasley and gets a broom stick. A great escape (24 November 2008)This (the first in the series), or any other Harry Potter book for that matter, needs no introduction. Once you've followed Harry to Hogworts and back during his first term, you'll be coming back for more time and time again! Its one of those books which you wish will never end - its that magical. Say what you will about J K Rowling (and lots of people do!), but theres no denying she does write exceedingly good books! Spectacular (03 November 2008)this is only one of the harry potter books.if you liked this you should read the rest.th ewhaole collection is utterly fantastic.brought me into the stoty straight from the start! And from here it all began ... (02 November 2008)All credit to Joanne Rowling. This is the book that launched a global phenomenon and should be on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in children's literature or classic stories. As for the book, yes, it's very good - however, I don't think it's brilliant. Writing your first novel is a mammoth undertaking and in this book JK sets out the parameters for what was to be developed and built upon in the later novels. This novel probably inspired thousands more to do the same and finally write the book that germinated in their mind for so long. I should know, as I'm one of those people. My first book is now for sale on Amazon etc, and it may not have happened if this book had simply been lost in the slush pile of every major publisher and agent. | |
