General Comment:As mentioned earlier on my April 19 2007 post, I have embarked on writing a few words on all the books that I may read in my retirement. I will reread few books which I read over last few years – this to allow me to capture some good essence from the readings.  

The recent book I have completed reading is the first book in a series of books titled   ” Harry Potter” written by  J.K Rowling. The books  are about wizardary and witches   – a fiction theme (under English milieu).

The first book is titled “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone“. It is small book (223 pages) easy to read as it is written for young people. An excellent book. I am prompted to take interest to  read this book as my daughter is now in her final (latest) book – recently published. She is reading the book even while she is busy looking after her new born daughter, Sitara.   This is the power of Harry Potter stories.

I enjoyed the first book which I could not put down once I got it from the local  library. Harry goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary and completes the first year with many adventures while at the school.

The   author has an excellent grasp of her subject and the plot for many  books to come
