: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author: J.K. Rowling
Almost as soon as I finished the first one, I started on the second. It’s just about as good, picking up right where the previous book left off, and continuing to delight and inspire. Harry’s a terrific hero: modest, imperfect, and with a heart of gold. He always wins, but not without help from his friends, and not by how you’d expect. Yet he’s perfectly believable as the hero. Too many stories create larger-than-life heroes that are just ridiculous, while others take a nobody and suddenly have them doing noble and heroic things that just don’t fit their mediocre character. Harry’s wonderful! Makes me wish I had children to read the books to!
