A review by jenni_elyse
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
5.0
I was transported to a wondrous, magical world. I'm awed by Rowling’s ability to capture my attention and evoke a desire stronger than anything I've ever experienced to be a part of a world other than my own.
I love the little bit of humor Rowling brings into the story. The story is very intense. Many of the topics are not easy to discuss or even think about. But, the humor interwoven throughout the story helps lighten the way, making it easier to deal with the darker topics.
The characters are complex and endearing, even the ones you hate or can’t make up your mind about (*cough* Snape *cough*). I loved getting to know the main characters in Sorcerer’s Stone.
So far, out of all the characters, Dumbledore is my favorite. We don’t often get to see him. He waits along the sidelines, allowing Harry and his friends to figure things out on their own. But, when he was around, Harry (and I) left as better people. His wisdom, or I should say Rowling’s, is astounding.
