I am re-doing this review because I feel like my other review was not perfect so I am going to make it even better.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling.
Rowling’s storytelling was absolutely amazing. The characters were well developed. The story was easy to get. There was never a dull moment in this book. There was tones of action and funny little moments in the books that made this book 100 times better than what it actually was.
When my dad read this book to my siblings. I was far too young to really understand the meaning and the magical moments of this book. Now that I am older and actually got into adventure and mystery books, I fully understand why this book got so much praise. It is so amazing.
I read the illustrated version of this book and all I can say is that it made this book even better than it was before. The pictures were a perfect way to really get a image in your head if you never watched the movie or you just have a hard time picturing. The illustrations were also gorgeous. I loved how Jim Kay drew what he thought the characters looked like (my sisters discovery). He used what he thought the characters looked like in his head and not in the movie.
I really really really loved this book. I recommend this book to anyone. This book was amazing and I really want to read the other books in the series.

I can’t believe I’m 24 years old and only just reading the Harry Potter collection for the first time. I absolutely loved this. It felt just as whimsical and magical as I imagined it would be and was overall a really light-hearted, enjoyable read.
