Advantages: Writing Style, Characters, Description, Tension

Disadvantages: Theres only 7 books

Well i thought this book would be terrible so i didnt plan on reading it, but my brother bought it in a second hand book store in Spain and on the flight back i starteed to read. I was immediately immersed in the story, characters everything about it

Well what is Harry Potter? Harry Potter is the story of a boy who for many years of his life has live with his aunt and uncle under the pretence that his mother and father died in a car crash. However on his eleventh birthday he is visited by a half-giant telling him hes a wizard. Well as you expect he thinks its a joke then he is dragged to a magical street where he buys and wand and other supplies before being shipped of to Hogwarts. A school for witches and wizards. Dont want to give to much away youll have to go see the movie/ read the book.

The writing style of this book is simply impecable, definately on par with JJR Tolkiens "The Lord of The Rings" and above the average for modern day writing where most people just watch tv when their bored rather than writing. The pure tension created by the book coupled with the amazing detail in descriptions just made the book perfect.

This is a book anyone should read at some point in their life, but dont say i didnt warn you when you find yourself falling a sleep at work because you just couldnt put it down the night before.

Summary: A definite for your to read list
