Summary: Harry Potter Rules!
Review: The book, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a great sequal to the first book ("Harry Potter and the Sorceroer's Stone")! It has adventure, comedy, and everything it takes to have a good book. The plot of the story is that when Harry returns to wizard school for his second year, stange things happen that had never happened before. Harry tries to get to the bottom of it with his friend Ron and others. I strongly recommend "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" to anyone.

Summary: Solid sophomore story - better than the first
Review: The Chamber of Secrets follows Harry Potter's 2nd year at Hogwart's School of Wizardry. It is assumed that it is also the reader's second incursion into this world, so that the book is a true sequel. This allows the story to move at a faster pace, without slowing down to explain the rules of Quidditch, for example. The overall effect is a much smoother and ultimately more enjoyable story.The titular Chamber of Secrets is the source of the mystery for Harry and his best friends, Hermione and Ron. When several students are literally petrified, and chilling warnings written on the walls threatening more of the same, Hogwart's is thrown into confusion and chaos. Naturally, it's up to our 3 heroes to save the day, whilst trying to defend the House Cup championship and passing their courses. We are introduced to some new characters, and most of our old favourites are back. There is something familiar and comfortable about the surroundings and the people, mostly because Rowling does such a good job of introducing them in the first book. However, there are a number of new, creepy, and fun situations, making this story as inventive as the first. However, the overall theme is very similar to the first book - something unknown endangers the school/students, the heroes can't trust anyone and sneak around after hours to figure out the problem, and it comes down to a confrontation in the bowels of the school. You only notice this on hindsight, however - while immersed in the story you are entranced and likely to finish in a very short time, then go looking for the 3rd book. The writing level seems to be about the same as the first book - intended for early teens (maybe 11-14?), but is equally enjoyable to adults, and is probably not too scary to be read to younger children.

Summary: The best book I have ever read!!!
Review: The chamber of secrets gives the reader a look into the world of wizardry. Harry Potter is a very entertaning book and should be read by everyone. If you haven't read it you are missing out. Read the first one also. Then read the ones coming out over the next few years!

Summary: Great Fun For Everyone
Review: The Chamber of Secrets is a great read for kids of all ages.My husband and I bought the books to read to our children, and have fallen so in love with the series, that we ourselves are addicted!
In the Chamber of Secrets there are so many twists and turns that you feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster. From the start you wish that you could be there to parent Harry yourself. Once he goes to Hogwarts it doesn't get much better for Him either, but once again good triumphs over evil, or does it?
I sicerely hope that you enjoy this book as much as I did !

Summary: So great to see more of Harry Potter
Review: The Chamber of Secrets is an excellent book - fun characters (they're all brought back from the first book), an exciting plot, interesting sub-plots, and just a whole lot of fun. J.K. Rowling is a great author - she seems to know exactly what kids want to read, and she's great at what she does. I love Harry Potter!

Summary: Great sequel, equals the original
Review: The Chamber of Secrets is just as exciting as The Philosopher's Stone. Although the structure of the book is the same (it covers a whole year in Harry's life again), the adventures are new and even more thrilling. Definately worth reading.

Summary: Excellent once again!
Review: The chamber of secrets is open. Suddenly strange, scary things arehappening. First, Harry finds Miss Noris is frozen stiff, almost dead. Then, only Harry can hear strange, evil whisperings, which seem to be coming from the walls. Wow! This book was great! I wasn't sure if it would be as good as the first but it is! It's a bit longer then the first book, but it's packed with adventure and heaps of suspense! Some bits of it are even a bit scary, if your reading it at night! I didn't think there was one single boring bit in it, and you can never guess what is going to happen! If You loved the first book, you'll definitely love this one! END

Summary: Kay
Review: The Chamber of Secrets is wonderful. As an adult, it turns on the world of fantasy and imagination that have been put aside in many of our lives. As a special delight in this book is the wonderful creature named Dobby. You learn to love Dobby as time goes on. Also, I loved the flying car and the impact with the tree. So cute and imaginative. Mr. Dale, the reader, cannot be complimented enough in how he brings each character alive in this series.

Summary: Another great adventure of Harry and friends!
Review: The Chamber of Secrets picks up during Harry's summer vacation before entering his second year at Hogwarts. He is miserable because he has not heard from his new friends all summer long, and he has had to leave the delightful wizardry school to endure a summer of emotional abuse from his aunt, uncle, and cousin. When Harry finally gets communication from his Hogwarts buddies as well as a "house elf," he learns that someone does not want him to return to Hogwarts in the fall! That especially seems to be the case when the magical platform to board the Hogwarts train mysteriously closes, leaving Ron and Harry to find a way to get to Hogwarts on their own. The magical adventures are just beginning, and Ron and Harry are off to a whole new year of wizardry and wonder at Hogwarts. The battle of good vs. evil continues as Harry hunts for the mysterious Chamber of Secrets. This is a great book of fun, fantasy, and fiction for young and old alike.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: The Chamber of Secrets reads like a charicature. All the characters are in place. The bad ones act their role and do bad things, while the good ones try to keep out of trouble. There is no character development, no new information, no additional dimension to the story. It's like watching string puppets going through the motions. The first Harry Potter was good, though, and the third one seems better than the second.
