Summary: I may be almost 30, but I couldn't put this book down.
Review: I read "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Chamber of Secrets" in quick succession, after receiving the first one as a gift. They are so well written, both in word and story. And the recent article in Newsweek is right -- Rowling doesn't condescend to her audience (regardless of age) for a second. These books are simply, deliciously fun. You know, the self-indulgent kind of fun that makes you want to stay up late and read under the covers with a flashlight. What a delightful departure from the usual pain-and-complain fare of contemporary literature!

Summary: WOW!
Review: I read "The Sorcerer's Stone" and then bought it. At the same time I bought "Prisoner of Azkaban", but did not have "The Chamber of Secrets." For a week I was in agony, waiting for Book 2 so I could continue in proper order and not have the book spoiled for me. I was afraid that this book would not be worth the wait. I was wrong. I kept reading "The Chamber of Secrets" in awe. It is so clever and it defies my poor description. Long live J.K. Rowlings. My new literary hero.

Summary: TOOOOO LONG!
Review: I read a portion of the book. It took SO Long! I finally got to the chapter, "The Chamber Of Secrets", and STOPPED READING! i couldn't stand the book any longer. It was taking so long to get to that chapter, that i didn't even CARE ANYMORE! I suggest seeing the movie, instead of wasting your life reading. I wish the books never came out, but the movies did. My brother loves all the harry potter books, but i hate them. Each time one comes out, he buys it, and spend more than a week in his room JUST READING IT! HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE! Just watch the movie. I don't plan on finishing this book, or for that matter, ever reading a whole harry potter book the rest of my life. Don't waste your money, save it for the movie.-Rita

Summary: A magical book!
Review: I read about Harry Potter and the Socer's Stone last year and got it for my 12 year old son for Christmas. My son, my daugher (15), and I (47) all read the book and loved it. I got the new Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as soon as it came out, and again we all read it and loved it. The kids thought the new book was even better than the first one because it included a mystery. I enjoyed the first one more, because the ideas were so orignal and fresh; the ideas don't have quite the same impact

Summary: It's the best book I've read in years.
Review: I read all three of the the Harry Potter books and they are fantastic. I had forgotten what a creative mind was like. The children have been asking for all three titles. The book is so popular we can't keep copies on the shelf, here in Brooklyn Public Library, Washington Irving Branch

Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Review: I read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is written be J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter is a very good book. It is really fun to read. It always keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is pretty funny too. It's a fun kind of mystery, you find little bit of evidence, and try to put it together. I would recommend this book to any age. It is a long book, but once you start reading, you can't stop, and the next thing you know, your done. Harry Potter returns to Hogworts to comlete his second year. Later on, people are being petrified by an unkwown person or creature. All beacause the Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

Summary: If You didn't like the first one, so what?
Review: I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and I couldn't put it down. But then the second one came along, and after reading that, now I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. Rowling has a good combination of description and dialog. Both books are outstanding, but the first one is a joke compared to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I recommend this book not only to young readers, but adults as well.

Summary: Harry Potter is so awesome
Review: I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone in only a couple of days. It was awesome. You can't take your eyes away from the book. It is about a boy who's parents were killed by an evil sorceror named VOLDEMORT. Harry then is sent to his aunt and uncles house. The only problem is that his aunt and uncle HATE, and I mean HATE Harry because Harrys aunt hates her sister(Harry's Mom) because she was as UnDursleyish as it was possible to be.(The Dursleys are Harrys aunt and uncle) He then finds out 10 years later that he is a wizard, not a human like the Dusleys. He is then sent right away to a School of Wizardy called Hogwarts. That is when Harrys adventure comes in. Harry makes many friends at Hogwarts and they went on many adventures, but their main adventure was to look for the legendary Sorcerors Stone. Harry goes everywhere to look for this Stone, and runs into many things that keep you reading until you finally finish the book. I would recomend this book to all ages and I think is the greatest book I have ever read.
