Rating: Summary: Very enjoyable for all ages Review: As someone who used to ingest a lot of fantasy books, I was worried that this series was over-hyped, but I found myself enjoying this installment with a kid's heart.
Rating: Summary: A book filled with mystery and excitment. Review: As soon as I finshed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I was hoping there would be a sequel. Wel, here it is. It begins right where J.K. Rowling left off in her first book. I did not think she acould come up with a novel as compelling as her first, but Ms.Rowling surprised me. As Harry enters his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry, he finds more in store for him than in his first year. Now, people are being turned tok stone. It's up to Harry to save them...
Rating: Summary: What a great book! Couldn't put it down. Review: At 47 years old, I didn't think I would get caught up in a book that was meant for a child. Boy, were they wrong when they said it was a children's story. This book (this series of books) is appropriate for any age.I loved the 1st book, this (the 2nd) was even better. It kept my interest and I read it over a 3 day period. I have ordered the 3rd already. Can't wait till it gets here. I plan on buying all 7 in the series. These books will definitely be a keeper in my bookshelf. I have been recommending the books to my friends. You won't regret taking the time to read this book. In fact, I am sure it will capture you with their humor, suspense, and story line.
Rating: Summary: good Review: At first I thought it was boring, in the beginning. It is about a wizard name Harry Potter, who goes to a school call Hogwarts. He solves the legend that is in Hogwarts. When the Weasely brothers rescue Harry, was my favorite part. I liked the ending because Dobby tried to save him.
Rating: Summary: This book is very good for fantasy readers. Review: At first I thought the book was boring but then I got into it and finished it. The story is about a boy who attends Hogwarts. He runs into some trouble, I don't want to take the suspense away but it is good! My favorite part is when the flying car comes and saves the day. I liked the ending because it fits well with the book.
Rating: Summary: It was great! I coudn't put it down! Review: At first I was laying at home bored and not knowing what to do because I had just finished the first Harry Potter book when I decided I would read the second book. The second I started reading it I didn't want to put it down I just needed to know what happened next. Harry Potter books are always full of excitment and adventure. I like the description that j.k. Rowling uses. I hope the third book will be as good as the first and second.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely fabulous Review: At first sight I was skeptical that it would be as good as the last. However this goes beyond the first one with twists and turns. If you've got half a brain you'll buy it. I am a Teenager and it's about time we had some books long enough for adult reading. I wish I was at Hogwart's.
Rating: Summary: ...... Review: At first when I read the book, it was hard for me to judge it buy, because it really wasn't my cup of tea (the other books were, even though I now have little intrest in Harry Potter anymore [maybe once Book 5 comes out, I'll get back into the series.]) This book was dark (sometimes too dark), but lacked the mixed genre of book 1, the cleverness of book 3, the darkness, thrills, and twists to book 4. Yes, I'm sorry for sounding so much like I'm saying this is an awful book. Really it's not. It defintley isn't a Godsend to the genre though. It's a mixed bag. But I did like the mystery in the middle.
Rating: Summary: A magical tale of Harry Potter and his friends, plus Hagrid! Review: At first, I thought that NO book would be better than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This book has however, proved me wrong. (Which I'm getting use to!) When I read the first book I felt like I was there in with Harry going on adventures with him and Ron and Hermione. I loved it and especially loved Hagrid, Hermione, and Ron's personalities. One of the things different about this book than the first book of the series is that there's this really snotty wizard who....I won't tell you...you'll have to read the book! Also I love it how J.K. Rowling plans the whole story out, then at the very end, all the pieces of the puzzle come together making the story sooooooooooo spectacular. (And I'm not counting just the story itself) If your reading this right now....BUY THIS BOOK! I promise you that you'll be more than satisfied with it. I only hope that the next book of the series gets out soon!!!!! I know that I'll be on the waiting list praying that It'll come in the mail soon. ORDER AND READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Harry is set for greater revelations! Review: At last, the summer's at an end and the fall term is at hand. It's been a nasty time for Harry Potter, who finds summer vacation anything but! His foster parents, the Dursleys, have maintained their reputation as being a. awful, b. dreadful, c. intolerable, d. spiteful, e. all of the above! And Book 2 of J.K. Rowling's incredibly successful Harry Potter series is off and running! It's now time for the fall term of year two at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry can hardly wait to get back. Of course, just as he is set to depart, problems arise--but arrive at school he does--this time by a magical flying car! And the suspense is off and running! Once there, Harry begins to hear voices from the walls--which only he can hear! And these voices sound ominous! Mysterious--and fearful--things begin to happen! Naturally, the trilogy of Harry, Hermione, and Ron are fully involved. Yes, Draco Malfoy is back and the threat of evil Lord Voldemort (responsible for the deaths of Harry's parents) continues to plague young Potter. He finds that fulfilling this year's "destiny" is to deal with the Chamber of Secrets! Rowling employs her art well--exciting, fantastical, humorous, gripping--the positive descriptives roll on, and Book 2 continues in every way from the first installment. Readers who found the first book spelling-binding will find that this book is at least equal to it (but probably is greater, as the author certainly seems to have found her own "chamber of secrets to writing absolute best-sellers!"). In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," Rowling has clearly established herself in 21st century literature! With immense success showing weekly on the best-sellers' lists, the sales are almost unbelievable. The "New York Times" list at one time showed all three of the Potter books in the top ten! But don't be impressed by the sales--read the book for yourself and you will see why it is the literary rage these days! (Billyjhobbs@tyler.net)
