I have read all three books and loved them. They transported me to a magical place filled with adventure, comedy, and friendship. These are, by far, my favorite books of all time. If you haven't read them yet, do. I guarantee, you will love them.

I have read the first two Harry Potter books and have gotten a good start on the third book. I love every single book and I buy every one that comes out. I am planning to have the whole series and I will pass them on to my children when I grow up and I hope everyone else agrees that Harry Potter is the best series of books for this millennium and throughout many others!!!

I have read all three Harry Potter books and I love them all. I am even reading them again and again. I can't wait for the fourth book to come out. If you haven't read the Harry Potter series I HIGHLY recommend you read them. I learned about the first Harry Potter from my cousin and thought, "How good can it be? I've read other books that were excellent." Well, boy was I surprised when I got into it. I couldn't believe it and ran out to get the second book as soon as it was published. If you haven't read Harry Potter you should, no matter what your age. I'm 12 and I love them but I know people from age 7 to 70 that love just as much. Go read HARRY POTTER now and be amazed!!

I would like to congratulate J.K. Rowling on a job well done with the creation of the Harry Potter series. My 11 year-old son received the series as a gift at Christmas and we have both read all three books since then. We can't wait for the next edition to come out! The plots and characters are captivating and imaginative, making the books impossible to put down. In a world dominated by commercialized Pokemon dribble, it is refreshing to find a good old fashioned storyteller that can spin a good yarn. Thank you and keep them coming!!

This book is very neat, I like the Harry Potter books a lot! But I groaned when I heard this was only going to be a 7 book series. I do wonder very much when the next book is going to be out!

I've read the Harry Potter series and I truly think this is the best book ever. I love the way the story gradually unravels. I would like to suggest to anyone that plans to read the book that you should pay very close attention towards the end or you may get lost.

This book is by far the best I have ever read. The author does and incredible job drawing you into the story. I really do feel like I've met these characters and been to all these places. This book is truly magical.

This book is the best book I have ever read. It was well thought up. You will never be able to put it down. If you have not read it you should start reading it right now.

Concerned Parent
I have read these books. As a parent of children who are just beginning to read I will not let my children read these books. The books are well written don't get me wrong. In my opinion they are teaching our children the only way to solve problems and get what they want is through witchcraft. As parents it is our job to censor what our children are learning. Nothing personal against the author.

I am an avid reader, so when my friend recommended this book to me I didn't hesitate to read it. After the first paragraph alone I felt a deep connection to Dave. He is truly the most amazing and inspirational person I have ever come in contact with in my life. I wish him and Stephen the absolute best in life.

The book is great. It is so interesting that I cannot leave the book even for my meals. It makes me feels that I was in the Harry Potter's world. I took 5 days for me to complete reading it. My favorite chapter is the"very secret diary".

Finding Fish

Shirley Singletary
Although I have only read the first two chapter, I can't put the book down. Antwone Fisher is a strong individual. This story just goes to show afro-american that no matter what situation you've in, if you just put your trust in the Almighty All Things are possible! As I continue my reading ( I also saw the Montel William Show) I very glad he choose not to give up, but to stay strong and just look at his great out come. This just goes to show all people to keep hope alive, trust God, and never, every give-up your dream for a better life. Thank you, Shirley Singletary/Librarian II. @ Collier Branch Library, Houston Tx.
False Memory
by Dean Koontz
 (6/23/2001)
Delliott
Don't be misled by the title of the book. Very little of the book deals with autophobia. I was hoping to read about this persons autophobia and what happens to them over time but it's just a small set-up for the main plot line of the book. It wasn't what I was expecting when I bought the book and I was a little disappointed.
