Summary: My son (9 years old) could not put this book down!
Review: My son read the first two books in this series in less than a month and is ANXIOUSLY awaiting the 3rd in the series. I am THRILLED that he is reading for pleasure instead of because he "has" to. The only other book he has ever felt this way about was James and the Giant Peach. I can only pray that Harry Potter will live on and on and on -- until my son is 18 or so anyway!!! Thank you Ms. Rowling!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best novel that I have ever read! (Nicholas)
Review: My son(age 7) and I read this book with great interest. We read it during every free moment until it was finished. For those people who have read "HP and the Sorcerer's Stone" read this book! For those who have not read it buy both books and start with year 1.

Not the literary masterpiece that War and Peace is, but this story is much more engaging. Rowlings' attention to detail is fabulous and the children pick up on it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: My suggestion wold be if you are any where between 5 and 40 you should definitly read or be read this book! I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone and it was done in two days my dad and mom both 40 read and loved the book it is full of laughs, thrills,and 4 cool frinds. If you haven't read Harry potter you have to because it will tell you how great this book (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)is and will always be.

Summary: This is the best book ever!
Review: My teacher started reading this book to us at Read Aloud. Everybody in my class(3-4 grade Woodstock Day School And the older kids too) loved it. We gave up recess to read it! I bought it and read it two more times. The sequel is even better and I want to order the third one even though it isn't written yet. Rowling is the best author ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It Can't Get Any Better!
Review: My two friends and I have read the whole series of Harry Potter and we love it! Especially this one! But, even though we're 11, this isn't just a children's book! Adults can enjoy this stuff too! I think anybody who thinks this is bad stuff and it "glorifies witchcraft and evil" is nuts.(no offense to the religious people out there) This book can't get any better! This review comes from Bryan, Robin and Steph, who must be the biggest Harry Potter fans in our class!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enchanting listen for the whole family
Review: My wife and I have enjoyed listening to the whole Potter series on CD. While the first one worked well, in book two, the narator Jim Dale really comes into his own. With his destinctive voices, dramatic florish and excellent sense of comic timing he brings the book to life for the listener. Though I found the books a little dry as a read, they make a wonderful performance and I would urge anyone who enjoys books on CD to add this and the rest of the series to their collections.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Absolute MUST READ! :)
Review: Needless to say, I am an avid Harry Potter fan. I'm seventeen and I decided to give this whole Harry Potter thing a go. I picked up the first book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) in paperback and finished it in a day. I've read ALL FOUR Harry Potter books in a week and a half time period (No lie! The 4th one took the longest, being as that it is 734 pages long). Anyway, I must say, out of the series, this is one of the best Harry Potter books (number 4 is the best) and you must read it. The Cover art is vivid and captures the imagination along with J.K.'s excellent choice of words. PARENTS: Don't just think these books are for the kiddies. I guarantee if you read them, you'll love them too(trust me, I'm a teen and we don't like anything!)In this series you deal with Malfoy being a jerk (nothing new),students turning to stone, Moaning Mertyle, giant spiders, flying cars, and the possibility that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named could be back...Ginny joins her brothers (The Weasleys) in the Hogwarts traditions and many more surprises are in store for you. I PROMISE YOU:Get this book and you WON'T be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: even better than the first
Review: never would i have believed that j. k. rowling could possibly have written a sequel to "the philosopher's stone" that equalled it in terms of originality and suspense. the truth is that "the chamber of secrets" is even better than her first book! the fact that its target audience is children does not make me embarrassed to say that this genuinely is one of the best books i have read in a long time.

if your first impressions are that it isn't quite as good as its predecessor, keep reading! the first few chapters are setting the stage for the forthcoming events, and believe me, it's worth the wait!

what makes this book so outstandingly excellent is its absolutely brilliant plot. harry is now in his second year at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, although he and ron had a bit of trouble getting there as they missed the hogwarts express for some mysterious reason.

once again, j. k. rowling conjures up some wonderful characters, such as gilderoy lockhart, a very good-looking, glory-seeking wizard ("five times winner of witch weekly's most-charming-smile award"), who manages to get the job as defence against the dark arts master at hogwarts, and whose unabashed vanity and groundless bravado provide a lot of the book's humour.

the first sign that there is trouble looming is when harry starts to hear a sinister voice threatening terrible deeds, although he can't see who's speaking and no one else can hear it. shortly after, the caretaker's cat, mrs norris, is found hanging from a nail on the wall underneath some puzzling but undoubtedly menacing words.

i will resist a terribly strong urge to reveal any more because it really would spoil what is an ingenious plot. you will find yourself wondering whether the chamber of secrets really does exist at all and who on earth the heir of slytherin could possibly be. and i bet you any dooyoo miles you like that you won't be able to guess!!

It's a much scarier book than the first, I thought, and I did actually wonder from time to time whether children would be too frightened by it. (There again, I used to get scared watching Dramarama Spooky, so maybe I'm not the best judge).

But I cannot rate it highly enough for the clever gradual build-up of suspense, the mysterious (magical?) power that prevents you putting the book down, the wealth of imagination and originality in the ways of life in the wizard world (e.g. Floo Powder - brilliant!), and of course the ultimate breathtaking finale.

I think you've got the message, so I'll now leave you with some wise words from Albus Dumbledore that I thought were a nice little message to us all:

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities".

So true, Dumbledore, so true.

Rating: 5 stars
