Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As an AP English teacher, I’d heard colleagues snub this book pretty often, complaining that the writing was bad, the story was bad, etc. With that, and a huge TBR pile, anyway, I put off reading it for years. My mistake. Sure, it’s written for a younger audience, but I found the writing to be very good and the story was engaging and lays the groundwork for what I assume will be the more complex plot elements to come.
