Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

NONE OF THE COMPLIMENTS ARE FOR JK!!! Great set up to the wizarding world but the pacing was so awful I felt like it was basically all exposition. I guess it’s great for kids cuz it’s the most basic story structure EVER! Whimsy and magical, just a start.

the fact that it was written in what seemed like a far future to Butler, but to me is the near future tripped me out. this book as is a must read though as there are some aspects of our world that are looking way to close to the events of this book. It made me reflect on the importance of contributing time and talents and skills towards the good of the collective.
