Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
by J.K. Rowling
(first read in October 2007)
After viewing the last Harry Potter film, I felt inclined to reread the first book in the series. It was a lot more delightful that I remembered. It's probably due to my greater familiarity with the series--I could pick up little details that are insignificant to the first story but are built upon in subsequent books. Of course, if Ms. Rowling hadn't crafted such a good series, there wouldn't be so much to enjoy. Anyway, this is a rare case where rereading a book has caused me to revise my rating. I realize that I now need to keep this tome on my shelf.
