It's the beginning of everything. What can I say? It is the book that introduces us to the magical world of Harry Potter.

The pace of the book felt slow. And I understand that it is difficult to introduce a whole different and magical world that readers have to understand, but I also think that the Dursley part could have been shorter.

I'm not saying it's a bad book, I'm saying that the next books in the series feel much more natural, quicker to read and fun.

This series is the beginning of my addiction to books.

Harry Potter is one of my childhood book series -like many others, and I can sadly not give this the review it deserves as my first time experiencing this was around 9/10 years old, if not younger.

This is so much better than the films though I still love the films.. there is soo much more going on in the book and there is different parts who got into trouble and everything. If you liled the film I say go and read the book.
