Welcome to your next addiction, I find this the most appropriate way to start my review on this book. This book has the ability to keep you awake and wanting more and more. As you start with young Harry and feel the sadness for the loss of his parents, and take the long journey with him to Pivet Drive where he is a very lonely child that goes through many torments from his no so friendly new family. You build a personal relationship with the character. As well you are excited with him as he starts a journey into the magical world of Hogwarts where he finally has a little glimpse of what life should be like for a boy his age, you go into the deep dark parts of a long ago place and share an intimate journey as he grows and learns. I feel like this book is just the beginning of a timeless tale. One that in the years to come any true fan of far off Fairy Tales and wishes will surely pass on to the next. If you are ready for a ride that will take you far away from where you are and give you one mystifying experience after another than Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets is the one book you must read. But reader beware it is the first of five and after reading it you will hopelessly find yourself not only wanting the next book but needing it!
