Quick Synopsis: Second year Harry Potter fights dark forces when the Chamber of Secrets is opened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Review: J.K. Rowling delivers in her sequel to Harry potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. She uses the same bag of tricks as before with new characters, events and more new insights into the magical world. There is plenty of action to keep your mind occupied, not a minute of downtime. You'll find this one of the more funny books in the series, since the newer books have a more serious and devastating tone to them. Though the book was written for a young audience, Rowling packs a lot of mature themes in there to keep adults occupied and content as well. Recommended read for anyone. Also, with this series, you only become more impressed =)
Rating: 4/5 - Fantastically written of course, kept my attention. The only thing lacking is I'd like to see more depth in characters, especially pivotal, but less seen characters like Malfoy.
