 Good value for the $$, Apr 29, 2023
Never having read this series, I was interested in finally getting some of these books. I found this box set the easiest way to get all the currently availible HP books at once. I am happy with this purchase and I consider it a very good value for the money, at $27 for five books, how can you go wrong? Now all I have to do is get some time to read them.
King fan in Maine.

About the Copy cats, Apr 26, 2023
I can't say i hated this book, i atcually liked it, but here's the thing. A lot of people say other fantasy stories just rip off this one but honestly, this book is covering all the possible plot elements. A good-willed protaganist? Yep. Magic of some sort? Got it covered. Evil villian the hero miracoulsy overcomes against all odds? Check and check.
And let's say someone writes about a main character who isn't good hearted, like pieces by Eion Colfer, Jonathon Stoud, Garth Nix or someone like that? Apperently it's not suitably for children.
So stop saying everyone's cashing in on J.K. Rowling, becuase if you look at the publication dates, many books that follow that magical wizard good/bad storyline were pulished first. It really wasn't a big thing for J.K. Rowling to write this book, i mean, kind of predictiable storyline don't cha know?
So keep the unhelpful's coming but heed my advice, just because it reminds you of Harry potter doesn't mean that it is Harry Potter.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:4.1 The first book. A great start. 309 pages( pages are not including about the author, etc.)
Harry potter and the Chamber of Secrets: 4.7 Excellent. Its belnd of suspense and action is magnificent. 349
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban:4.2 Slightly darker than the first two. Not as suspenseful and action-filled as the second, but very good nontheless. 435 pages
Hary Potter and the Goblet of Fire: 4.2 Much darker than the other books. Much longer, too. This book is the turning point in the series, as this book and the next books are much loger than the first three. 734 pages
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: 5 An absolute masterpiece. I finshed this 870 page book in one week. This book is filled with action and suspense. The best book of them all. Each chracters emotions are more talked about than before. From beginning to end the book stays excitng. 870 pages
average score: 4.5 You have to read these books as they are excellent.

Harry Potter Paperback Boxed Set (Books 1-5), Apr 5, 2023
For information on the content of the books please read my individual reviews.
However for neophytes to the Potter series, this is an ongoing story of a young wizard and his pals coming of age and his adventures in learning how to deal with people and situations that become more of a challenge as he advances through age.
There is a lot more depth and research that went into this series than the superficial story that holds it together.
Starting out with a box set will allow you to read at your own pace and know that the next book is just waiting for you.
Box sets are also more esthetic on the shelf.
There will inevitably be a seven book set but can you wait?
