Harry Potter Title: Harry Potter
Author: J.K. Rowling
Review: Harry Potter is the best series I've ever read in my entire life. When I was 6 yrs old I read #1. It was amazing, although I didn't really understand it. Then I read #5, because it just came out. Then I borrowed from my cousin #2-4, because we didnt own them. Now, we own all of them, and even at one point owned 2 of the first one. My friends at school only watched the movies, which in my opinion are way worse than the book. And I LOOOVE talking about books I like, so I forced my 2 little sisters to read them. They were only 9 &7 when they read all of them, including the latest and greatest, #7!!!!!! This is the best series I've ever read, closly followed by Maximum Ride, another gr8 read. P.S. Even my 5yr.old brother, and father, who never read them, have Harry potter coming out of their ears, we talk about it so much!!!!!

Review: If you are looking for laughs, eccitement and a good read, I reccomend the phantom toll booth by Norton Juster. It is a bout a boy who finds a tollbooth in his room and it takes him to a land, where eating your words isn't just a saying. I liked this book because it had so much adventure and the characters were described very well. It was very different from any books I've read. I think that books that are unique capture the readers attention more than the typical "Today I went to the store" book.
