the best book of 2005 in USA Today's Readers' Choice poll.
While editors placed it at eighth, they offered another interesting choice: "Best book for kids not yet ready for Harry Potter." (It's Leonardo, the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems.)
Other categories include "Worst book by a celebrity," "Best unmasking of a historical monster" and "Most overstated title."

of course normal people would chose it as the best book, they are the fans. when the editors do these things they are supposed to be open to everything and not caught up in their own LOVE FOR HP!!!!!!

Yeah! But of course, we all knew that it was one of the best books to read, didn't we? Although it's not my favorite, it is a very good book. My favorite is, and always has been, the first book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
