Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.Customer reviews:  Lots of surprises, but a slow beginning., 2009-06-17
This book was entertaining because many of the plot events took me by surprise. However, the beginning really dragged and it took a long time for me to get into it.
 This book is mediocre., 2009-06-17
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is, admittedly, a fun read and difficult to put down. However, I wouldn't exactly call it "literature." The non-stop adventure does keep you entertained, but there's little depth to the story. And readers have encountered this same plot a hundred times already. Rowling does use some nice 50-cent words occasionally, but overall the quality of the writing is nothing to be proud of.
