Sooo I actually read the first two Harry Potter books in the same week! The first one had me addicted. The second one did not let me down.
In year two of the Harry Potter series, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, which allows a Slytherin heir to kill students who do not come from all-magical families. Students who come across the heir end up frozen in place because they are so petrified. Harry, Ron, and Hermione investigate the attacks and eventually find the Chamber of Secrets. Once again, Dumbledore comes to the rescue as his phoenix provides a sword which allows Harry to succeed.
J.K. Rowling does a great job at keeping the reader entertained. The beginning of the book does a great job recapping some of the basic wizard terms (for example, explaining the rules of Quidditch) without forcing it. She also does a good job recapping where the first book left off. The characters intertwine and the twist at the end is good too. It builds off of the first book, with more magical things and the plot thickening.
If you haven't read the Harry Potter series I strongly recommend it!
My rating for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: 5 stars out of 5. Get it here!
