Summary: wow!
Review: At the end of this book the reader is certainly going to be left speechless. The tension and uneasiness set from the very beginng when Harry meet Dobby to the very end when he, Ginny, Ron, and Lockheart arrive back to the school on Fawkes is incredible. One can not believe the caliber of stylistic writing and detail Rowling has poured into this novel. I'm 17 and desperately await the arrival of the third and fourth installment.

Summary: You haven't experienced fine literature till you've read it!
Review: AWESOME DIALOGUE!!!!If you read the reviews on this book, you probably think, yeah it's good. But, this is no ordinary book,no. This book is the finest piece of literature ever written as are the previous Harry Potter books and hopefully are the others to come. The story is gripping, humorous and as you read it, you feel as if you are the characters experiencing the scenes and what dramatic scenes there are! None will limit any age of readers to enjoy, though. Any adult, child or senior who enjoys adventure and dialogue should pick up this book and I can assure you that you won't want to put it dowm!

Summary: Chamber of Secrets
Review: Awsome! Harry Potter is definantly a series for all ages! J.K Rowling knows how to write a suspenseful novel and knows how to get the attention of the reader. The Basilisk was very eerie and even I (I'm 17) got a little creeped out when Harry was hearing the Basilisk kill people. Who says the second is never as good as the first? Chamber of Secrets was just as good as The Socerors' Stone!

Summary: The Original Serie
Review: Before i read Harry Potter, i thought imagination could not create completely new things: i thought it had to mix real things to create new ones (as humans and horses to make centaurs, horses and birds to make griffins, etc), and that it was that that made books boring and not original; you can read a vampires book and have fun, but after reading five, you don't want to hear anything about vampires. How wrong i was!!!!!!Things in Harry potter are so new, so original and are written with such "magic" that it creates a new imagination world, from where you don't want to leave. I personally enjoyed a lot reading this book, and, in fact, all the serie; and it made me get reading (and writing) again, because now i know that there're still new thigs. fidelstar@yahoo.com.ar Istari

Summary: Harry, you make me so merry!
Review: Being new as a librarian, I have been trying to read the BEST of children's literature. Oh, yes, this is one of the best. Harry Potter takes you to another world. He endures an awful time with his relations. But then he goes off to another spectrum as a wizard-in-training. I'm reading this book to my students with English accents, and they LOOOOOOOOVE it. We are eagerly anticipating the next.

Summary: Getting better
Review: Being somewhat vaguely disappointed with the first book as I felt Rowling took 'simple' routes out of complex problems, I was quite impressed with the 2nd book! Suddenly, the little complexities I expected to be there WERE there! I found this book a lot harder to put down and read it from cover to cover in 2 nights flat - TV doesn't quite make the standard compared to the wonderful world of Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts School that was generated in my mind! I don't think ANY young fertile and creative mind should be deprived of the wonderful fanasty world of Harry Potter! Personally though, I will admit to having a desire to go to Kingscross Station and seeing how many children try to get to Platform 9 3/4's... And what harm is there in glancing up at the sky periodically to see if a car is flying overhead or waiting at the mailbox when you turn 11 to see if you will get a letter from Hogwart's...?

Summary: Not as Good as the Others
Review: Being the Harry Potter Maniac I am, I rushed out to the store and bought the second book right after I had finished the first one. I was slightly disappointed when I read it though. I feel that J.K.R. could have done a better job as this book isn't, in my opinion, as good as the first one. It's really creative, however, I didn't like the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Gilderoy Lockhart is a bumbling idiot. Although I found him extremely funny, I prefer it when DADA teachers play a bigger role. Like Quirrel and Moody being evil. I liked Lupin because he's a Marauder, and my favorite at that. Lockhart is just a person in the book who doesn't have an effect on the ending. Dobby is one of the funniest characters! The little houseelf that thinks he's helping but isn't really just cracks me up. House elfs are a bit over exaggerated in this book however. Getting Harry stuck with the Dursleys was the perfect way to get him back to the Burrow without plainly stating it. In a way, Dobby did help Harry, but not in a way that he had intended to. I think the ending was the worst out of all the books. It wasn't as action packed and it didn't end with Harry passing out. I won't say anymore because I might tell you exactly what happens. Even though the Chamber of Secrets isn't my favorite, I still like it. There are other books that you could buy. If you don't like Harry Potter or you are just starting the series, I suggest reading another book, such as the Prisoner of Azkaban. However, if you've read the first book and liked it, definitely read this book so you can read the third book. I don't suggest skipping around as it leaves holes in the story plot.

Summary: A little darker sequel
Review: Book 2 in a series of 7. It's the 2nd year of Hogwarts. The Dursleys have attempted not to allow our hero, Harry Potter back to the school. But before he leaves, he receives a warning from Dobby the house-elf: "Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Harry ignores him and continues, however he's blocked access to the train that takes him to the school. He's clearly not wanted back. But that all goes away when letters written in blood appear: "The Chamber of Secrets have been opened." Now it's up to Harry and his friends to solve what is the Chamber of Secrets, what lies inside and who opened it. If you've watched the movie you'd know this is a bit darker than Philosopher's Stone. But still a good read that you should check out despite it's obvious target audience.

Summary: The first was 5 stars but this one is 4.
Review: Book 2 is very good, but I wouldn't read it without reading the Sorcerer's Stone first.This book was very good and I recommend reading the other 2 as well.
