Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 1997, by J.K Rowling, is an excellent novel that appeals to characters of all ages. It is the first of 7 and occurs in a normal society where 11-year-old Harry Potter receives an invite to Hogwarts, a school of witches and wizards. Harry meets Ron Weasley, who turns into his best friend throughout the novel. Throughout the book, Harry meets a strange instructor whom he loathes. He is after something from the headmaster, with whom Harry has a good relationship, and Harry wants to protect the headmaster's item.
The book has many twists and turns, making it highly recommended. There are many mysteries to be uncovered, so there is a cliffhanger that makes the reader more interested. The author uses figurative language to create a vivid image in the reader's head. Advice to readers, the book may have a slow start, and if one may not understand anything at first, keep reading!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is not the best choice if one dislikes magic and adventure. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone gets a 4/5; it was one of the best books I have personally read.
