A review by vimcenzo
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

3.0

This one's just fine. A lot of it retreads the same ground as the first book, including a contrivance for the main villain coming back, finding some new mysterious creatures, getting a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, etc. Still, I think people simply just wanted to come back to Hogwarts and see what the gang was up to over the summer and spend time there again, and this book exists only to test the waters of if the first book was merely a fad or if ol' J.K. could uphold that momentum. Seems she could, and I definitely read the crap out of this over and over, but in hindsight, eh. It was only alright. There was something a lot more mystical about the first.
