Let's talk about books - Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby

Writing about your favourite book: Harry Potter

My favourite book is `Harry Potter and the Philosopher`s Stone`. This brilliant fantasy novel was written by a British author called J.K.Rowling.
The book is about a young boy called Harry Potter, who is a wizard, although he doesn`t realise this at first. He attends a special school for wizards called Hogwarts. While he`s there, he learns about magic spells, and all sorts of magical things happen to him and his friends. At the end Harry has a battle with the evil Voldemort – of course Harry wins.
The thing I like most about the book is that it makes the world in which the wizards live seem perfectly normal and just like ours. I have already read the novel four times and I couldn`t put it down because it`s a real page-turner.

Writing about your favourite book: The Great Gatsby

F.Scott Fitzgerald`s `The Great Gatsby` is one of my favourite books of all time. The book was written in the 1920s and it really gives you the feeling for the world of the `Jazz Age` and the American Dream. Still, the book still seems relevant today.
It tells the story of Jay Gatsby, who is incredibly rich and successful, but always seems to have an air of sadness and mystery about him. He falls in love with a married woman called Daisy Buchanan, but he realises that he can never marry her, and the book ends in tragedy for both of them.
I first read the book when I was at university, and it made a deep impression on me. For me, the moral of the story is that there`s no connection between happiness and money or success. It`s a beautifully written novel which grabs your attention right from the start.
