Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone by J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to  hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursley's, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley-a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry-and anyone who reads about him-will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him...if Harry can survive the encounter.

    I'm not sure what I think of this. I started reading it when I was younger but I didn't like it because I wasn't patient, I hated the Dursley's, and I didn't like long books. Everything is fine, for now. Boring but tolerable.

      I have previously read longer books and I have noticed that I am more patient with everyday things.

    Do you already know the story at all, from the movies or pop culture, or are you starting from scratch completely?

    I have watched the movies before but I don't remember most of what happened in them.

    I am half way through the book now. I like the book and it's not boring anymore. Harry is now at Hogwarts and there isn't much action yet. The first year's have been sorted and Harry just got on the Quidditch team. I don't particularly have a favorite character because I don't like or dislike any of them.

    Harry really likes getting into trouble. The narration is third person. The characterization is indirect for all characters.
