Summary: Read this!
Review: As a religious person I was skeptical of Harry Potter at first, but people are just taking things too seriously and out of context. This book is entertaining and it teaches kids (and adults) that they can change the world if you just try. PS, I read this the first time when I was 15.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An sumptuously tickling read.
Review: As a sophomore, Harry's spell over his fans is as strong as it was when he first grabbed us all by the "Stones" with serendipitous charm and tenacity, and refused to let go. A sequel worthy of its namesake, "Chamber of Secrets" is Rowlings Godfather 2! A back pack companion for any young reader setting forth to imagine along her or his course through the summer of 1999.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!
Review: As a teenager, I don't read too much, but I just could not put this book down, you could not make me! It's not very challenging to read, but it is very entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: J.K.Rowling Does it Again
Review: As Harry's saga continues, J.K.Rowlings success does too. Once again, this Harry Potter book like the first struck my imagination and created a whole other world. I must admit, being introduced to Harry Potter by the first in the series made the first book my personal favorite. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets however, continued Harry's journey and was an exceptional story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Second book... what a charm!
Review: As I began the second book in the good ol' Harry Potter series, I was worried as to whether or not I would enjoy it quite as much as the first. I was not disappointed!

After becoming involved in a more intricate plot, I enjoyed the further character development of all of the characters. Each successive Harry Potter book seems to grow up, one step more than the first, just like Harry, himself.

While Harry may not be the most brilliant wizard in Hogwart's [Hermione takes that award], he has the most heart. This second installation in the series shows just how much heart Harry has! More secrets about Harry's past are unearthed in breathtaking magical episodes.

This second book will leave you guessing, much more than the first. It has more questions, answers, and fun!

Harry Potter is a remarkable gift to the literary world, both children's and adult's. I was a sceptic before I actually picked up JK Rowling's magnificent books, but now, I, too, am a huge Harry Potter fan.

If you enjoy reading, are looking for summer reading, or are just curious as to what all the hype is about, read Harry Potter. Harry will bring out the kid in the adults, and activate the imaginations in children. This book is the perfect summer reading, when it is too difficult to concentrate on anything but fun.

Enjoy!

Summary: What is NOT to love about Harry Potter?
Review: As I read HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS, the teacher in me thought--Boys are going to LOVE this story. Action, mayhem, and slugs. And vomited Slugs at that! Did I just hear an "eeewwwwwww"? J.K. Rowling has struck gold with Harry Potter, and readers of the world couldn't be any luckier. I haven't read a lot of fantasy books in my time, but when I first picked up Harry Potter it reminded me a lot of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ--the book, not the movie. L. Frank Baum was told NO, NO, NO while trying to get OZ published; thank goodness he persevered. J.K. was told she wouldn't make any money selling "kids books." HA! What publishers don't realize is that we're all kids at heart--especially us in the almost-forty-something crowd!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More mysterious than the first one!
Review: As I read on and on, I was left guessing. When I got to the good part, I read about 25 pages a night! I think it pulled together better than the first one. I couldn't stop reading it until the fierce ending. I can't wait until the third one. It was action-packed,mysterious, scary, eerie, spooky, and fun! The characters were one-of-a-kind, and there's a twist around every corner. it's now my favorate book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another amazing children's book that is great for adults
Review: As I said with the first Harry Potter book, there isn't anything I can say here that the other reviewers haven't already said. I echo my earlier sentiment that adults will enjoy this book every bit that children do. This book set my imagination spinning, and was a great way to "recharge" my brain! I can't wait to read the third and fourth books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the magic that happens when you pick up a wonderful book...
Review: As I write this, Amazon lists 1777 reviews already written for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"...I sincerely doubt I have anything new to add to what has already been written...but Just in case:

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," like its predecessor, is one heck of a story. I sincerely admire Mrs. Rowling's talent as a writer. She is a master of both suspense and humor. More than that, I find the morality of her protagonists most refreshing. Life is neither cut and dried or black and white. Her heroes are complex...just like real people. They have their faults, yet their hearts are in the right place.

I found the development of the characters to be one of the strengths of this book. We get to see whole new sides of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Draco, Haggrid, and he who must not be named...

My favorite facet of the Potter books is the importance placed on friendship. As Proverbs 17:17 says: "A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity." This is demonstrated nobly by the relationship between Ron, Hermione, and Harry.

I give this book my heartfelt recommendation. Reading it is truly magical.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This series continues to blow my mind
Review: As if it were possible, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has gotten better. I was lucky enough to be on vacation in Stratford this week and I found the third one, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in a small bookstore. I may be only in high school, but I can tell great literature when I see it. My father heard about the books and persuaded me to read Sorcerer's Stone. I couldn't believe how fast I read it. I couldn't put it down! I would recommend this book even to older adults. Anyone who has a sense of adventure could find themselves begging for more of the stories of Harry Potter.
