jonscott9 's review for:
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
by J.K. Rowling
Oy, what to say about Book 2 of the Potter behemoth? It's better than the first one, still not a book I'd term "great." I get the feeling that Rowling's thinking ahead as she writes, though, and that's Smart.
I enjoy Hermione, maybe because I was her male equivalent back in the day, bookish, studious, and rule-smitten. I explicitly do not enjoy the elf character Dobby. While I'm told that he has a crucial role to come in the series, here he flat-out reminded me of Jar-Jar Binks from the latter-day Star Wars flicks. That is to say that I detested the character's every scene, word, and movement. What a deplorable urchin. I mourn his creation.
The second half of this one picked up, as did the first. I still eagerly await the darkening of the series in Book 4, two books from now as I pile-drive the lot of them leading up to the last installment's release.
