Summary: The Series Goes From Good to Classic with Second Book
Review: J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter picks up steam with the second volume in the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The number of characters increase with the delightful addition of Ginny Weasly, Dobby, and Gildefroy Lockhart (not always a successful creation) and the elements of mystery have also increased noticeably over the first Harry Potter adventure. The volume becomes more of an actual series with this story as all the elements build to a climax that leaves much to be explored in the future volumes. The excitement and inventiveness of the series deserve their praise and popularity and this is the volume that kicks the experience into high gear.

Summary: J.K. Rowling's Does It Again
Review: J.K. Rowling's has done it again with her second book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has Harry going back to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry for his second year, and there is no telling what will happen. With strange phenomena happening all around the school and people turning into statues, Harry, along with his friends, Ron and Hermione, are caught in the middle trying to find out who is causing the madness. When Harry is caught snooping around, he is immediately one of the suspects in the bizarre happenings at Hogwarts. All the students at Hogwarts are having a hard time believing Harry is innocent, including his friends. Even his rival, Draco Malfoy, is there to taunt and criticize Harry at every turn. When Harry finds a strange opening leading to a dark tunnel, he has to make a tough decision on what to do, go in, or run away. Does this dark tunnel hold the answers to the mystery, or is it just a dead end? Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is filled with danger, action, and of course the humor that only Ron, Hermione, and Harry can create. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a terrific book for all ages, and it is a must read if you have read the first Harry Potter book. FIVE STARS

Summary: The Secret's Out; The Chamber's Bloody Entertaining
Review: J.K. Rowling's second book in the Harry Potter series steps it up a notch. The writing is more engaging for mixed age audiences, meaning it's the perfect book to read aloud together as a family. In addition, the plot has a gripping effect that mere magic alone can't account for. Yes, it's the creative muse that drives this one along, and Rowling has done a smashing job this time.In "Chamber of Secrets," we are introduced to new and engaging characters. There's Gilderoy Lockhart, the guest wizard of the dark arts that is neither to dark or too wizardly, but boy does this guy love himself. There's Dobby the house elf that despite the comic relief reminds this reader too much of the annoying character in the Star War prequels...you know that tall goofy guy with floppy ears and a Jamaican accent. Well, the colloquial house elf dialouge is only a minor misstep but I'm sure to be riotous fun for the young and younger at heart. There's Moaning Myrtle who inhabits and haunts a defunct toilet. And best of all there's a new villain lurking about whispering dark dark things through the walls of Hogwarts. Harry Potter is more nuanced between a battle of good and evil. And like all good battles between the polarized moral compass, we see shades of black and white, and marker lines that find you pitched on one side or the other. Harry Potter captures all that is magical, quirky, and wondrous in childhood and Rowling's writing reaches out to all ages to remind them of that time. She does so, in such a way, that the pages keep turning effortlessly and before you know it, you've reached a temporary end; satisfied and entertainingly chilled.

I enjoyed this book a great deal and so did my two children ages 8 and 11. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to go on magical adventures and use their immagination.
I would not change anything about the book if i could the reading keeps the reader on the edge of their seat wondering what is going to happen next, and at the end wanting more.

Summary: The Biggest Mystery
Review: J.K. Rowling's second book is even better then her first one. It is an interusting book because it is a mystery during the whole book and in the the end it totally reveals itself. You can't lay the book down because every chapter there is a new mystery waiting for you. I read it in about 2 weeks and with alot of attention because you can't lose a part or else you lose the whole book. I recommend this wonderful book that was very well written to any curious person that likes to read.

Summary: Breath-taking
Review: J.K. Rowlings is a master. I had to remind myself to put the book down to get something to eat! As I was reading, hours passed like minutes. I now know to block off hours of time when I pick up these wonderful books. I teach in a middle school - an age where reading is uncool and seldom done when not required for school. My students are convincing one another to read this book, and Harry and friends are regular topics of conversation. I have yet to hear any negative reviews. Harry and friends have spirits that are contagious to the reader. J.K. Rowlings blessed the characters with a realness in a setting that is truly imaginative. Without hestitation, I recommend Harry Potter.
