Title: A fun book, even for older readers
Review: Id heard of this series for a long time, never thinking Id ever read it since it was intended mainly for younger readers. Well, Im glad a friend gave me a copy thinking I might enjoy it. I definitely did.While this isnt my usual reading material, it reminded me a lot of a series I enjoyed as a child by Piers Anthony. Those books also revolved around a land ruled by magic. In the Potter series the land is replaced by a school, Hogwarts, but it's otherwise similar in style.Rawlings did a wonderful job of describing the terrible living conditions Harry had while living with his aunt and uncle and the thrill he experienced while first exploring his new life at Hogwarts.While it was fun reading this, people older than 14 might find some of it a little childish but, hey, the target for this series were children in the first place. Approach it in the right spirit and you'll have as much fun as I did.
