Summary: Continuation of a Classic
Review: It is difficult enough to create characters and a story that is believable enough to arrest the minds of over 1,000,000 people. But I believe that it is even harder to take those characters created and make even more experiences and situations that coincides with the rules that have already been layed down. The book is very impressive, though liberties have been taken and a bit contrived at places, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the entire series of yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even 48 year olds can't stop reading this book!
Review: It is just plain embarrassing. Although the UK publishers changed the cover of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers'/Philosophers' Stone so that (us) adults could read it without it being Too Obvious that we were reading a book in the 9-12 age group, the Chamber of Secrets still has the cover for children. Yet I couldn't put it down and it made me laugh numerous times - it is so inventive! Comparing the two books, I would say that this 'sequel' is, fortunately, that rare form of sequel - as good or perhaps even very slightly better than the original. The moment I returned from the UK, it was nigh on snatched from my hands, and no more was seen of my 12 year old daughter for the day or so that it took her to finish it. Had it been a weekend, she would probably have read it even more quickly. Joanne Rowling has created a classic.

Summary: New pieces to the puzzle
Review: It is not easy to be a wizard. When Harry Potter returns to Howarts he must face the fear caused among its peers due to its special condition, and the risk of losing all the elements which makes his life bearable. Apart form the wonderful details and events woven in the story the message of Rowling to its young and older readers keeps on being the same. You must be the hero of your own life and once a problem is solved you shall always expect the next challenge. Then face it and enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic for all ages.
Review: It is not just a kids book. It is fun and the story keeps on twisting in different directions. As you approach the end you feel your head spinning by trying to find out who is the actuall villian. Well the climax does not disapoint as a shocking suprise will astonish the reader and leave him wanting more. a wonderful story that adults and children will both love in equal measure.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another helping of literary candy
Review: It is pretty simple: If you liked the first Harry Potter book, you will probably like this even more.

If you didn't particularly like the first book because it was either too fluffy, too light, or had too flat of characters, then this installment won't be any better for you.

However, if you didn't like the first one because the "twist" at the end was either too easy to see beforehand, then you might like this better, as the ending _may_ be a little harder to see coming.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've read in a while...and I am 27
Review: It is sad that people no longer want children to use their imaginations, Harry Potter does just that. It is a great book of adventure and imagination. I believe that the people who want this book band from schools and libraries take themselves too seriously. I have three neices that all love this book and understand that it is about fantasy not reality, maybe the adults that do not like this book need to lighten up a bit. GREAT BOOK!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is rare to find a second book that doesn't disappoint.
Review: It is scary. It is exciting. It is sweet and honorable. My 7 and 9 yr olds can't wait until bedtime to see what will happen next. I had to finish the book on my own - and know that they will sit their with their mouths open and eyes wide until the very end, just as they did with book one. This is a book that appeals to the adult as much as to the child. The writing is witty and I really should get out my dictionary to understand a bit more of the double meaning of some those names. A word of warning when reading aloud - the alliteration can really trip up your tongue.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as the first
Review: It is so exciting with even more characters and cliffhangers. It was another rock hard performance by Rowling(If you know what I mean).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ITS THE BEST
Review: IT IS THE BEST BOOK ALL OF YOU KIDS THAT HAVEN'T READ IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON THE BEST BOOK YOU HAVE EVER READ.
