Glad to have the entire UK set, 6 Nov 2007 By V. Goodman "valley girl" (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews Love the Potter books, but fear I would have had nightmares for weeks if I'd read them as a child. I especially appreciate the moral clarity depicted at a time when there seems to be so much moral confusion in the world. Harry Potter, an otherwise unremarkable boy with remarkable modesty and courage, is the perfect role model for kids. There don't seem to be extensive differences between the American and UK publishings of the books. Still, I'm happy to have access to the authentic dialect and spelling, as originally written. The books do not appear to be bound with excellent quality, but the binding seems okay. Time and reading will tell. A significant disappointment is the page layout - the top, bottom and both side margins are too small, resulting in text-intensive pages which look a bit cramped and amateurish. There are no illustrations at all, not even on the first page of each chapter. But then I didn't necessarily expect such embellishment in the adult version. The paper appears to be of a decent weight and quality. The dust covers are rather nice, with the "Harry Potter" embossed. The box containing the set is of a flimsy cardboard which is likely to deteriorate with minimal use. I may just dispose of it. To sum up, the perfect set would be published by Scholastic (the U.S. publisher), but with no changes from the original text. Alas that combination doesn't exist. Overall, I am very happy to have this set for reference and re-reading.

Fantastic!, 18 Nov 2007

First of all I would just like to point out ho nice it is to have an adult version of an originally children's text: I can read it at the same time as my ten year old daughter and still keep my dignity!

A stunning set of escapist books, that might be slightly hard for readers younger than 9 to digest, but none-the-less brilliant. They combine everything a set of books should have: courage, bravery, kindness, reason, irritation, humour, and of course, and good bad guy (if that makes sense).

I would recommend it to anyone even if they hate reading. It's a great price for the number of time you can read them! (I have read the first one 5 times....need I say more?!)
