Book Recommendation: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

               If you have not yet read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I believe it is a must read. I would rate the book a perfect 10/10 as it is a great trilogy beginner and the level of detail in the book is outstanding. In the book, we meet a somewhat mistreated child named Harry. We are given background info that Harry's parents were killed by an evil doer in the beginning of the story. Now he is forced to live with the Dursley's, his aunt's family. The author, J.K. Rowling uses appeals to emotion to make us feel bad for Harry, and our sympathy is answered. When Harry receives an envelope to go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, he gladly accepts and is psyched to find out he is a wizard. Along the way, he meets Ron Weasley and they immediately become friends. On the first day of class, the antagonist, Draco Malfoy is introduced and Ron and Harry meet an annoying know-it-all named Hermione Granger. As they adventure through Hogwarts, they befriend Hermione and go on an adventure to find the sorcerer stone, which had mysteriously disappeared. In my opinion, I thought this was a great book because it offered a lot of action and suspense and there was also a mystery to be solved. There is also a movie recreation of the book, which is a good remake as well. I hope you all take my recommendation into consideration, because this is a great book that leads into a magnificent series.
