Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The FreeForm cable network aired all the Harry Potter movies this weekend and it prompted me to pick up all the books on my shelves and read a few pages again. I opened to the scene where Harry starts speaking parseltongue and was instantly brought back into this amazing world. I loved this series when I read it nearly ten years ago and I’m considering starting all over again — one a month in between all the other books I read. The imagination. The depth of characters. The reality among fantasy. I can’t imagine a world without it!
What was special about this book is how it carried the intense weight of the first book and added even more. Harry’s energy drives the story. His relationships create the challenges. And we meet Dobby. I love Dobby! If you haven’t read the whole series, you have to indulge in the first few books just to understand the world the wizards live in…
