This book is a hoot and a half (except owls have no part in this parody at all but mail-spamming parrots!

This is a parody of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Plenty of Malay cultural references fused into the creative story, this is a hilarious Singaporean version of the world-famous book. Read it for the laughs and the Singaporean Hogwarts!

This book is a hilarious Singaporean parody of Harry Potter. I thoroughly enjoyed it but do note it is not for children. There are vulgarities and some inappropriate content. Otherwise a great, fun read for Singaporean Harry Potter fans who just want to have a laugh :)

Such a fun parody to read and I really like how the characters and plot are localized, though there are some juvenile jokes that might not suitable for young kids.

Book 3 out of 3 for my 24-hour readathon (July 2020).
This is so hilarious! I laughed so much til the end.
There is a heavy reference on Malay-Singapore culture (and being a Malay myself, I can totally understand). It is, of course, a parody of [b:Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone|3|Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)|J.K. Rowling|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1474154022l/3._SY75_.jpg|4640799]. This is a light book overall. I enjoyed it!
Although the beginning resembles the actual Harry Potter book, the ending is totally different. Worth a read. Hehe...
That wraps up my 24-hour readathon!

I think those who lives in Malaysia n Singapore will appreciate the inside joke more. There are some jokes that are not that funny at all and quite meh..so thats why I didn't give it a five starts but hey.. i had a great laugh. A lot of profanity tho.. so dont say hakak tak habaq na. Overall, love the idea n effort!
