Rating: Summary: Absolutely Brilliant! I couldn't put it down for a moment! Review: What a brilliant book.I thought after the first Harry Potter book that was it, I would never be able to say "That book was just as good as Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone," but I have been proved wrong.Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets is just as good, Better even. J.K.Rowling deserves a reward for writing two brilliant books for the delight of millions of children.Both books are Brilliant!
Rating: Summary: Not Just for Kids Review: What a great story, for adults too. The great mix of mystery and wizardry made this book a page turner for me. I kept reading because I wanted to know what the Chamber of Secrets was all about. All the adventures Harry, Ron and Hermione were amusing as well. Since the book was written for pre-teens, most of the themes, such as belong to a group and having a school bully, are easily relatable to that age group. However, as an adult, I found the book to be a wonderful light hearted story with a feel-good ending. Besides, all of us (even adults) can relate to belonging to a group and being around a bully. I'll just to have to keep reading to see what Harry does next!
Rating: Summary: Heaven on a stick... Review: What a wonderful book! There were five chapters left, it was 11:30pm and I could not put the book down. Made my better half updset... But it was worth it... This book, although not as good as the 1st, was just as enjoyable as the first. (if that makes sense.) I would highly recommend this book to anyone, any age! I would, however, suggest you read the first book, well, 1st. Good work J. K. Rowling!
Rating: Summary: great for kids of all ages Review: What a wonderful set of stories - can't wait for Ms Rowling to publish more of Harry's adventures! And thanks to amazon.co.uk for making this book AND the third book in the series available to those of us in the US.
Rating: Summary: Rowling strikes again Review: What an amazing series of books, Harry Potter is. Not since Tolkien has the world seen such (almost) unanimous approval of the works of one author. The few negative reviews seem to come from religious fundamentalists who, for some reason known only to themselves, feel that Harry Potter is weakening their control over others. As an non-young-person (actually I'm older than the oldest wizard), I find the H.P. series refreshing and uplifting in a simple way. Here we see a young boy fighting the forces of evil on his own and, so far, he has won each round. I fail to understand how religious crusaders can find fault in that - but they do! What is also amazing is that the author manages to speak to young and old alike. When I first told my wife (who is even older than me!) that I was not to be disturbed because I was watching a game a of Quidditch, she thought I was heading into senile dementia (she's a doctor, so she knows about these things!). I challenged her to read the books and NOT get involved. She did. She failed. She became even more involved than I had (and she was reading them in English, which is not her native language). This is the magic of J.K.Rowling's writing. She entertains, she takes us out of the humdrum world of work and worry, she writes a darn good story. It is the job of the fiction writer to get the reader to suspend belief. Few authors have the ability to do this like 'J.K.'. If I named, Stephen King, John Grisham and Tom Clancy as three of the best known, you'll understand why their books are instant bestsellers. They, too, can draw the reader into a world of make-believe so that the lines between reality and fiction become blurred. In Harry Potter, Rowling attempts to draw us into a world of wizards and magic and, if you look at all the five star reviews, it is clear that she succeeds. Power to J.K.'s elbow, and long may she continue to entertain and amuse us.
Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: What can I say! J.K. Rowling has an extrodenary(excuse the spelling :-D) mind. After my sister finally talked me into reading te first book( I ended up stayin' up half the night to read it!) I was hooked. I have now read all three that are published right now and can't wait for the fourth one to come out in July (the 8th to be presice). I know without a doubt that it will be as good as the last three were. U really gotta read these books, they are great mfor kids and adults alike, the also make great in class read alouds.
Rating: Summary: outstanding-very full of imagination for young and old Review: What can I say!?! Each book is better than last and can't wait to read Prisoner of Azkaban (just got this yesterday). I'm a big mystery reader and Rowling is one of my favorite's now! Lots of action and mystery in each book. My age falls in the "60 year old grandmama" category.
Rating: Summary: Harry..... what can I say? Review: What can I say? It was the best book I have ever read! It kept you thinking if you were reading it or not! It was funny,suspenceful,mytserious and great fun! Perfect for any age!
