General Comment:As mentioned earlier on my April 19 2007 post, I have embarked on writing a few words on all the books that I may read in my retirement. I will reread few books which I read over last few years – this to allow me to capture some good essence from the readings.

The recent book I have completed reading is the second book in a series of books titled   ” Harry Potter” written by  J.K Rowling. The books  are about wizardary and witches   – a fiction theme (under English milieu).

The second  book is titled “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets “. It is small book (251 pages) and easy to read as it is written for young people.

I immensely enjoyed the second  book which I could not put down once I got it from the local  library. Completed reading in two days. Harry goes back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary and completes the second year. The highlight of the school year was his confrontation with Lord of Dark  Arts  ( Lord Voldemort)  and discovering a Chamber of Secrets below the  School. Harry Potter vanquishes Voldemort in the Chamber after killing a giant snake (who was taking command from Voldmort to kill students at the school – especially who were not of pure lineage as Wizards but sons and daughters of common men).

The book is very captivating with many twists and turns

The   author has an excellent grasp of her subject and the plot for many  books to come
