JK Rowling keeps out doing herself. I’m usually wary of books surrounded by too much hype, but this one lives up to it all.
I’ve just read the entire sequel (Philosophers Stone - Order of the Phoenix) at a one go and have to admit, yes, its hard to put down. The world of witches and wizards - imaginative, colourful, full of surprises - never a dull moment.
I won’t go about revealing the plot, but all I will say, it’s a story that has something to teach. The simple values in life are mostly forgotten in books, Rowling’s story weaves its way through Harry’s life teaching courage, bravery, chivalry, friendship, loyalty...and love...which is Harry’s secret weapon.
Kids would love the book because of its characterization - Adults will like the originality and plot of the book - Rowling’s characters - Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dobby, Prof Snape, Dumbledore, Sirus, Hagrid are funny and intriguing, each with secrets of their own.
I wont categorize this a kids book, it’s a book for all ages…if your imaginative and can slip into alternative worlds at the flip of a page….this book is one you will definitely like!
