Books : Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)
Rating: 
- The Great Beginning
Our first copy was left out and the "nargel" cocker spaniel chewed it up. Anyone who is interested in an in-depth view of Harry Potter should consider collecting the audio CDs. So much more story than the movies. Thumbs up to Amazon on pricing and speed of delivery.
Rating: - Fun for all ages
I have been waiting until my daughter is old enough to read any of the Harry Potter books. I had always heard the magical age is 8. I guess that is about right because she (and I) absolutely loved the first book. We read a chapter each night and finished it in under 3 weeks. I wasn't sure that she would like it, given that she has never shown any interest in anything remotely related to wizardry, but she did! After we finished the book, we watched the movie. Harry Potter was a fun experience for both of us, and now I no longer feel like one of the last people on the planet who hasn't read this book.

- Good Book
this was a great book it was just a little childish but i enjoyed it.
Rating: - The book that opened a new world for me...
The book that started it all. I remember my mom giving me this book when i was seven and I didn't want to read it at all. Then she started reading it to me and i was enchanted by it. Not only the storyline is fantastic, but the way its written just mesmerizes me.
A few years have past from then but I still read this book and its sequels over and over again and its become my favorite series off all time.
also, it opened up the world of reading for me and if it weren't for this book, I would probably be stuck playing videogames all day instead of reading beautiful pieces of literacy.
Thank you JK Rowling.
Rating: - Best audiobook experience there is.
EDIT: Some people mark audio reviews as "unhelpful", which I found strange, until I realized what Amazon does.
-- They pool audio and text reviews and place all of those reviews on each of the products' pages, regardless of form the material is taking. You wouldn't expect a book review on the DVD's page. In this case, every word is the same, but a book review tells you only about the story, not the quality of the audio product.
-- But any regular audiobook listener has experienced a great book poorly read, or hammed up, or a voice that grated on your nerves, or found a book you loved to listen to, but couldn't find the time to sit and read (Lord of the Rings for me).
-- A review of the author's work tells you NOTHING about the audio, and yet, if you try and find what you're getting into, you have to sift through MANY book reviews before finding out the quality of the voice work, as most people have reviewed the author and the book, rather than the audiobook.
-- So, here's a small review of the audiobook, if you're interested in purchasing that. If you're looking for a review of the author, I am not being unhelpful, but Amazon is. I will request that they change their policy and display the reviews separately.
... Jim Dale is one of the best voice actors I've ever listened to and he brought the books to life an a way that reading could never do. I like reading, but it's really incredible to have someone put a different voice to every character, displaying the emotions and tone of the interactions.
... They are a really phenomenal experience, and I've listened to them over again and again.
