Rating: Summary: 'Tis Review: After reading Angela's Ashes which was a wonderfully moving book, I thought 'Tis was a dissapointing sequel. The passion of the first book was lost to the bitterness of the second. It was understandable that after all the hardships endured to return to America only to have discover a new set of prejudices and problems. The book was not a disappointment, but after looking so foward to it's release it did not fill my high expectations.
Rating: Summary: Wow Review: After reading Book 1, I was anxious to see how Miss Rowling would develop the characters and continue the adventures at Hogwarts. She definately did not let me down! These are great books for readers of every age.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely great! Not only exciting, but humorous too! Review: After reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I was positive that no book could begin to compare with it. I was wrong. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets proved it. It was just as exciting, suspenseful, and well-written as the first. The villian suprised you, and the character Lockhart was funny I loved the book totally. Hermione could have been in it a little more, though? I can't wait to read more about Harry, Dumbledore (who I like more every book), Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Ginny, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly, Hogwarts, even Malfoy, Snape, Lockhart, and Voldemort. This book leaves you hungry for more Harry, and it deserves a googolplex of stars.
Rating: Summary: Quirky Fun Review: After reading Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone I was looking forward to reading the next adventure. I wasn't disappointed. It's fun and quirky. Perfect for an afternoon in the sun sipping iced tea.
Rating: Summary: Can't go wrong with this; even adults love it!! Review: After reading the first book I knew I had to read the next three. You really can't go wrong with any of these Harry Potter series. This book covers the life of Harry Potter in his second year at Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. It makes you love the characters more than before and the plot is simply beautiful and creative. I don't want to ruin it for you, but I guarantee if you liked the first, you will really love this one. Make sure you read the first book before you read this one. This book is a great escape from the stresses of life. I would recommend to everyone. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: The second Harry Potter Review: After reading the first book of this series, I had to read the second. The books let you get into the fantasy world of Harry Potter and you can leave your own behind. The book starts with Harry at the Dursley's home and he is eager to leave for school. While he is packing his bags, a strange creature comes to the house and tells him that if he is to go back to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. Despite what the creature told Harry, he returned to Hogwarts anyway. After a few months, people at Hogwarts begin to become petrified. Harry and his friends Hermione and Ron figure out this is happening because the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Just like in the first book, Harry and his friends get into a lot of mischif trying to figure out who has opened the Chamber. They have to find out who it is before it is too late.
Rating: Summary: More Henry? How lucky can one be? Review: After reading the first book to my fourth graders, they have been begging for more. This new book will be an answer to their pleas.
Rating: Summary: Even Better Than the First! Review: After reading the first Harry Potter book and enjoying it, I was excited to begin the second, and it was even better than the first! Once again, with great characters and an original story, this is a book you just can't put down. It's almost a kind of a mystery, throughout the whole book, you wonder, who did it? Who do I believe? And the ending...wow! If you have read the first book, don't stop now, it can only get better!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Read Review: After reading the first Harry Potter book in the series, I didn't think they could get any better, but I was wrong. This book is excellent, I liked it even more than the first. You actually feel like you are at Hogwarts with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. This book is a MUST read, so put it on your wish list!!
Rating: Summary: This book exceeded all my expectations! Review: After reading the first Harry Potter book, I fell in love with J.K. Rowling's imaginative mind and ability to put it on paper. In the book HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS, Harry returns to Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and meets an all new challenge. Harry returns to the Quiditch field for practices and games, he meets up with his old friends and his big buddy Hagrid, and even get into a few duels with his nemesis, Draco Malfroy. After strange occurences started happening around campus, Harry is determined to find the culprit who is putting very serious spells on the rest of his classmates and risks his life to help all those around him. It is exciting to read about Harry as he discovers secrets about himself and his past. There is so much comedy in the book between Harry and his two best friends, Ron and Hermine, but it will also keep you on the edge of your seat itching to find out what happenes next. I would recomend this book to anyone no matter their age. J.K. Rowling has broken the barrier of children book and adult reading and has entertained many of all ages. I give HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS 5 stars and I can't wait to continue reading the rest of the books.
