Book 33 - A popular author's first book
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
"...there will be books written about Harry - every child in our world will know his name!" - Albus Dumbledore
I feel this is a very excellent quote to use to describe such a series of novels, because isn't it true? I dare you to find a person who has never heard of the name Harry Potter. You could do it, but it would be difficult.
As I studied my book shelf for a novel to use for this challenge, I was delighted to have my eyes fall upon this particular tale. The only problem now is that I would like to continue to read the next 6 books in the series to complete the beautiful story.
I always love rereading a series because there are so many wonderful tidbits of information that you know will mean something once you get to the later novels. This is how I felt traveling through the wonderfulness that is this first novel.
I would take the time to give you a recap of the story but that would be rather unacceptable, in my humble opinion. Harry Potter is not something that can be paraphrased and then passed along; it must be experienced first hand by the readers themselves.
If you have never read the novels before and decide to take yourself on the lovely journey; please feel free to let my sister know how truly spectacular they are. One of these days I'm going to get her to read them all and enjoy the experience.
BRB, off to pre-order books, this is t-bear signing off
