Rating: ***

Not one word would explain how great this book was.  I read this book in one week because I couldn't put it down.  Rowling does such an amazing job in the creation of the characters.  This book enables you to have an imagination unlike any other.  As a planned series of seven, I suspect that they will only get better each time.  Go Harry! Go Harry!  Lindsay M.

This sequel to The Chamber of Secrets is in my opinion the best.  Its unique irony of twists and turns is a mystery and great use of a reader's mind.  If you liked the second and first one you'll adore the unique third novel.  Joel Z.

This is your typical Harry Potter book.  There is good versus evil. Voldemort begins to regain power and almost gets Harry.  This book is a bit darker than the others.  I think this is the best Harry Potter book.  Jenny M.
