A Good Book
I believe a book that would fit under the "Good Book" category would be the first Harry Potter book. I remember getting that book in middle school and just being completely sucked into it. I could not put it down. I was around the same age as the main characters. Harry Potter opened my imagination and other children's eyes to a whole new genre of reading. At first, you would think it was to appeal one type of audience, it however reaches out to an audience of all ages. Anyone from the age of about 6 to 99 automatically falls in love with this book. The plot of the book has multiple climatic points as well as the final climax. It intrigues you by using new and different animals, sports, and people. You are learning about growing up and challenges you face as you grow up as the series goes on. Great series of books whether you are interested in fantasy or not, the way it is written just draws you in.

I feel the same way about "Harry Potter" books, I remember being drawn into the story and not being able to put the book down. I loved the idea of being a witch and being able to go to a school to learn about magic. For the longest time I secretly wished for an owl to deliver a letter telling me that I'd been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was kind of skeptical about the Harry Potter books, but once I started reading them I got sucked in and I couldn't put them down. I read the first four in middle school but then because of school and other activities I didn't really have time to read the rest of them. This past summer I picked the series back up. I was on a road trip to Texas with my boyfriend and his family and a 24 hour car ride gave me plenty of time to read! I ended up getting so caught up in the books that I read the 5th and 6th book on that vacation!
ReplyDeleteFor me I would have to say this book is not a "Good Book" for me. When I was younger and first picked up this book I thought it was difficult to read and understand. However when the my brother was the oposite, he was able to read it in one night. I guess I just was not into that sort of fantasy book when I was younger.
