The Review:

Emma by Jane Austen is a character study of a person who, because of her social standing, has a complex or nearly perverted sense of ethics when it comes to the value of socioeconomic status. This anecdote is significant because it demonstrates how upper-class individuals establish their own subculture based on money or, in Emma's case, familial ties. These shifts in the socio-climate might result in some very nasty-spirited persons, such as Emma's negative attributes, even if they are unaware that they are being cruel or terrible to others.

As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, this is like a character study and this sort of character lays the backdrop for some fascinating insights into human nature, particularly in terms of the many forms of influence that individuals have over others. Emma loves rearranging people like chess pieces. She enjoys the cause and effect of social events involving people and has an abnormal desire to influence the fate of others.

This was Jane Austen's last novel published while she was still alive, but it is not her final novel; before she began writing it, she had already stated that she would create a character that people would probably dislike, but Emma has been liked and continues to be liked, as we see her develop in this story.

Emma comes to see the light and makes positive adjustments throughout the story. I'm not giving anything away by mentioning this because it's obvious from the start. Reading what is happening to her is the most beautiful part of this novel.

This appeared advanced to me in terms of psychological/satirical components, such as the father's intellect level being obliquely poked fun at on a regular basis. Austen's resentment of her father is darkly humorous, with references to the weather or the temperature of the room indicating Emma and her father's cultured or academic contrasts.

I've just skimmed Austin's work for anagrams, but I believe the father figure represents the usual male authority of the period. I believe she is making an early woman's power statement disguised behind the character of her father and Emma's intellectual division as an author communicating via her fiction.

It was also entertaining to compare the films offered. A question always comes up while reading this and other books like this, what would your reaction be if you married someone 16 years your senior? Austen's period had various challenges that we would not be able to deal with as well. The book provides a fascinating look at Austen as a proponent of early women's liberation. We don't appreciate how fortunate we are. These days, we can do whatever we want.

I believe some readers' disdain for Emma is misconstrued because, as always, she was intended to be the way she was, and the author created her in such a manner that the reader dislikes her at first, but gradually begins to change the sentiments towards her with her own, and eventually begins to enjoy her by the end.

And this takes me to my most reviled topic: we must not despise a novel or a writer just because of a character we dislike or because the character is defective; we must recognize that some tales require flawed characters to advance.

A book and plot will never progress without these characters. Sometimes there is no villain in a novel, and we just despise the main character until we realize that this figure was misunderstood by us and was both the hero and the villain of his or her own life and story, much as we do to ourselves in real life.


Final Thoughts:

Because of the period, it was written, I didn't get the impression that it was outdated. I felt as if I were reading a complex character study with clever psychological components.

One of the reasons I wanted to read all of Jane Austen's writings was that the very macho author of Master and Commander Patrick O'Brian would frequently dedicate his books to Jane Austen. Patrick O'Brian's few available interviews also mention Austin as one of his key literary inspirations, which is enough to make you want to read an author you've never read or who solely writes about a subject you're not interested in.


Synopsis:

“Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austen's Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners.

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and includes an afterword by David Pinching.

Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isn't the lives of others she must try to transform.”

The Review:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling, is a profoundly serious story that explores death and dying, as well as grief, love, friendship, and redemption. It will make you weep for a variety of reasons, so be prepared and have tissues handy.

J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has excellent character development on a grand scale, and I never noticed it before in this way, but now that I look back, I see how far all of the characters have progressed from what they used to be, and it happened gradually with each new book, they grew one year older, wiser, and stronger, and the way their thinking changed, and the problems they faced grew as well, and that is exactly how real-life progresses.

It's also a thrilling adventure, with the trio of companions on the lookout for Horcruxes while avoiding the Death Eaters. At the same time, there is plenty of potential for laughter and amusement; the Weasley twins, for example, manage to keep things at least a bit light-hearted. The Deathly Hallows revisits significant characters and locations from all six prior novels, with subtle connections to previous events or conversations from earlier volumes, making the book extremely fascinating to read. The majority of the loose ends from the previous novels will be resolved.

I'm presuming that everyone reading this line has already read all of the prior books, so I'll use spoilers in the same way that I did with some of the earlier novels.

Without Dumbledore's supervision, Harry Potter and his youthful friends, as well as members of the Order of the Phoenix, join the ultimate battle with Voldemort and his Death Eaters. They are on a mission to discover and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes as well as the Deathly Hallows' secrets. What's the worst that might happen?

There is a lot of activity. In fact, readers will need to pay careful attention at times as they learn about Dumbledore and Snape's complicated pasts and come to comprehend the ambiguity, true allegiances, and goals of the two characters. The story comes to a strong and poignant finish in the final chapters.

This is a once-in-a-generation or maybe once-in-a-century series that has captivated the hearts and minds of so many people and left such an indelible mark on popular culture and imagination.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic and deserving finale to the series. I'm grateful for J.K. Rowling's books and the fantastic magical world she built. I only have two regrets: the first is that I started this series too late, when three books had already been published, and the second is not my fault; it was the author who finished the series. I'm hoping to find a series that spans hundreds of books, like the “TOR” series, and I'm going to review those someday, but not anytime soon, and who knows, I might start that task soon. However, it is debatable. Just comment if you want to know more about “TOR” and if you want me to review the series soon.


Final Thoughts:

The transformation of Harry Potter's tale from an 11-year-old just starting Hogwarts to a 17-year-old about to face Voldemort is quite astonishing. Harry has grown up, yet he's still a teenager, with all of his erratic adolescent emotions and anxieties. All of Harry's buddies have grown up as well.

At this point, I feel compelled to repeat myself about the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. If you've finished with Harry Potter and are looking for something equally epic, I highly recommend this series. I am confident you will not be disappointed because it is the only series (aside from Harry Potter) that has received above 95 recommendation points or five stars for all of the books in the series.


Synopsis:

“'Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.'

As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy...

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter books never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) (13+):


Check the summary of this book here:



The Review:

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is another thick book that keeps growing more and more exciting story-wise, and you can't put it down and don't want to stop reading until you've figured out what's going to happen.

It's bleak at times, but the flashbacks into the past, where we learn so much about Voldemort, are fascinating and compelling. Danger lurks at every corner. Everything appears to be in jeopardy, and you have no idea what will happen next. Nothing seemed to be safe in these pages.

There's a little romance here, but there's also a lot of tension. It's a fairly large book. There are a lot of pages to read and I was stuck in some personal stuff but, with dedication, I was able to read it over the course of four days.

This novel has so many narrative threads that are stretched out like a spider's web, but even with that, the pace does not slow down from the first to the last page. As with the preceding volumes in the series, there are several twists and turns. I can't say anything without giving anything away but this is unquestionably a fantastic book.

Even when things are sad, terrifying, or serious, J.K. Rowling manages to weave comedy throughout the plot, which is one of the series' greatest delights. It always feels like a gift from the author, with the little hints to Harry's blossoming fondness for Ginny, and the way Fred and George manage to smuggle in one-liners even while mayhem erupts around them.

This novel, maybe more than any other, devotes a significant amount of time to character development. This is the novel in which Hermione transforms into one of fiction's great female characters, and Harry stops relying on fortuitous events and begins to make his own decisions. In addition, it's a fantastic mystery narrative!

Despite being among the larger books in the series, it is also one of the greatest. My favorite is "The Goblet of Fire," but this one is a close second. I'm not sure whether it was intentional, but the characters' maturation as they get older is intriguing. One year signifies virtually little to someone of "mature" age.

However, in terms of attitude, fortitude, and action, the gap between 16 and 17 may be tremendous. It appears that the voracity of obstacles grows more tough and distressing with each passing year. This book has the most of each attribute by far. It was also a relief because I wasn't happy with its predecessor, Order of the Phoenix.

This is one book that deserves more than a thousand points out of a hundred. Simply told, this is a wonderful book. It's simply jam-packed with facts regarding Tom Riddle and everything else Voldemort-related. So, if you want to learn more about Tom Riddle's past, READ THIS BOOK. However, your brain may burst. Plus, something incredibly tragic will occur that will undoubtedly cause you to cry.


Final Thoughts:

Motivations become obvious in this novel, alliances are destroyed, and the stakes are raised. This book has two very significant story aspects. One is a major death at the end of the novel, which I will not reveal to new readers. The other is the backstory of Tom Riddle and how he became Lord Voldemort. You learn about Voldemort's biological mother and her dreadful family, Tom Riddle, Sr., and his family, and how Voldemort utilized Dark Magic to extend his life. This novel has a lot of intriguing and unusual events.

After re-reading this series and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, I realized how important and useful these books are for the children and the coming generations and that is why I must recommend that you should purchase hardcover books to pass down to your children, grandchildren, and friends, as well as to retain for yourself. These stories are worth revisiting!

BUY THE BOOKS; complete sets are available. It's well worth the money and makes excellent gifts for children and enthusiasts of all ages.


Synopsis:

“There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building... wherever they had murdered...

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shriveled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the Wizarding World, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter eBooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) (PG-13):


Check the summary of this book here:



The Review:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is following in the footsteps of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which the story took a sudden shift and took a darker tone. The general topic of each book keeps pace with Harry's age. As a result, in Book five, Harry is grappling with a variety of adult concerns while also dealing with adolescent turmoil. As usual, author J.K. Rowling has outdone herself.

And I'm beginning to wonder how I'll be able to give other books hundred percent marks and recommendations after reviewing these Harry Potter and Percy Jackson books back to back because I'm becoming more critical and looking for minute details that I wasn't looking for before these fantastic books. Reading these series gave me an incredible sense of accomplishment and I felt I had done something significant with both parties. Once again, I must recommend Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series to Harry Potter lovers as a way to fill in the gaps if they are through with the book and want something as magnificent as it is.

This episode takes place during Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry is traumatized and in a bad circumstance since he has been separated from everyone who cares about him for the entire summer. As the Ordinary Wizarding Level tests for Harry and his pals approach, he finds the power and loyalty of his friendships.

The author continues to add to her enormous roster of characters, possibly presenting Dolores Umbridge as one of the series' most terrible villains. This is significant because the Dark Lord Voldemort has a large number of fiends and demons eager to serve him. Perhaps it's because many of us can recall a teacher in our own lives who seemed to do all he or she could to make our lives miserable. Those instructors who were wrongfully implicated or who were not are still alive in Umbridge. Many teachers despised me because I could answer all of their questions and even asked them questions that they couldn't answer, and they constantly had an issue with me, which is why it was so simple for me to relate to Dolores Umbridge and loathe her to death.

This novel appears to be considerably more about the emotions of the characters' experiences than the others. Maybe J.K. Rowling's intention was to make this universe feel very intimate to us, and I believe she succeeded. There is family affection between Hagrid and his brother, the Longbottoms, Sirius and Harry, all the Weasleys, and the Hogwarts faculty friendship.

And it makes the reader filled with rage and contempt for Professor Umbridge and Bellatrix, as well as contradictory feelings for Harry's father as a child, Snape, Kreacher, and even Dumbledore. The emotions are well depicted, and nothing is as straightforward as it appears. We, along with Harry, are discovering that the world is far more complicated than we first thought, and I adore what this novel accomplished beyond the surface.

It's a fantastic novel because, in earlier books, all characters were either good or terrible; currently, even the nice ones, like James Potter and Dumbledore, have imperfections.


Final Thoughts:

This novel, like all of J.K. Rowling's others, is engrossing, intriguing, and difficult to put down. I admit it feels a little slow in some areas, but keep in mind that it is a large book with a lot of things to explain, so it is kind of okay if it feels slow even if it isn't. The problem is simply that you can't read so many pages at once, and even after reading three to four hundred pages, the book is still not in the middle, making you feel bored or overwhelmed. Despite this, it was a terrific page-turner that I finished in five sittings because I had other things to do at the time.

One very essential point to note is that even if this book was two thousand pages long, I would still believe it was insufficient, and this is what every fan and book lover would say, so if you are not a book lover and do not enjoy Harry Potter, this book is already too lengthy for you.


Synopsis:

“'You are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.'

Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the Dark forces. Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time ...”

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) (PG-13):


Check the summary of this book here:



The Review:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in the series by J.K. Rowling, it is a fantastic novel with incredible events and memorable characters. Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should reconsider their decision, for this is the book where everything changes, and it's difficult not to read the rest of the novels after this.

This book follows Harry's transition into an adult in a more serious tale that brilliantly blends humor and drama. The novel has excellent character development, but one of the main characters will die. When Ron invites Harry to the Quidditch World Cup Final, the book opens with a competition. Ron's father has secured seats thanks to his Ministry of Magic connections, but the celebration is spoiled by some unwanted guests. Later, Hogwarts has another tournament, the historic Triwizard Tournament, in which Harry, despite his age, surprisingly participates.

Simultaneously, as lord Voldemort grows stronger now that his dependable servant, Wormtail, has returned to him, the tone of the novels darkens.

Another fantastic novel, a fitting sequel to the amazing Prisoner of Azkaban, which I adored.

Now, let's talk about something that is confusing, but I forgive it as a reader because it was actually not a bad idea, plus these books are basically intended for kids, and the author just introduced something new to the already expanding universe of Harry Potter, and it teaches the kids some more value of freedom and being born privileged and how to use it in a good way. Dobby now works as a free Elf at Hogwarts, which Harry, Hermione, and Ron discover. They also discover that hundreds of House-elves labor as slaves at Hogwarts. This instantly calls into question credibility. Harry, Hermione, and Ron have all been seen sneaking around Hogwarts late at night. Harry even learns about the underground tunnels in Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't believe they hadn't seen any House-elves during their three years at the school. Until this point, Hermione appeared to know everything there was to know about the institution and its history. Perhaps they were just uninterested and, like many children, had no questions about the domestic assistance that cleaned up after them.

I'm okay with allowing Harry and Ron's characters to explore ethically gray areas, but this setting doesn't feel quite right. Harry, more than Hermione, should have been sympathetic to the suffering of House-elves, given his history. The Dursleys treated Harry like a House-elf when we first saw him in The Sorcerer's Stone, making him to do chores and otherwise keep out of sight. He made a relationship with Dobby in Chamber of Secrets and hence should have had a personal stake in the House-elf debate.


Final Thoughts:

I have to admit that our brilliant author J.K. Rowling has outdone herself once more with another thrilling Harry Potter novel. I finished it in two sittings I couldn't put this story down and couldn't put it down for a second. I also liked the challenging vocabulary since it helped me improve my language abilities in crazy ways and it helped me in my own writing. I hope this post inspires new readers to begin reading the Harry Potter series, and if you enjoy it, you will undoubtedly enjoy Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson book series, which is also a fantastic series.

This is a really well-written narrative. The individual book, as well as the larger overarching plot. The book was fantastic, and it was definitely my favorite story-wise book I've read thus far. However, Prisoner of Azkaban has superior pacing and more exciting stakes and action throughout, making it the series' greatest overall novel. The evolution of narrative into something more fascinating and dramatic blew me away.


Synopsis:

“'There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways ... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter ebooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”

The Review:

Out of the whole Harry Potter series, the Prisoner of Azkaban is by far my favorite! I liked how this novel differed from the others in the series in that instead of Lord Voldemort, Sirius Black is the major nemesis - or so we assume! The conclusion involves one of the series' biggest story twists, and it's ultimately about rediscovering family and belonging rather than combating evil.

Surprisingly, it isn't as intense as the other two. There are no monsters like Fluff or the viper, nor is there much violence. The only terrifying things in here are the Dementors, which are guards and ghost-like things at Azkaban and Hogwarts and are not that scary, but they sometimes do something to Harry and Sirus Black, who is the Prisoner of Azkaban, however, spoiler alert, so no more on this issue.

Unless you're an expert reader, I'd recommend waiting till you're 10 to read this series: parts of it could be too complicated, and there's a lot of action and SOME brutality. Just something to think about.

The notion that Harry Potter is being prepared to meet Hogwarts' greatest opponent grows as the characters in the Harry Potter universe age.

In terms of character arcs and story twists, there is a feeling of repetition across the three volumes, which rely on the intricate connection between the Gryffindor group and the Slytherin camp. But, as far as I can tell, that is the objective of the series.

A moving story with a satisfying finish. When I take a step back and look at it as a Young Adult novel I find it good for readers of all ages and I think it is fantastic.

J.K. Rowling's characters are both amusing and lifelike, and her words have an odd knack of coming to life. One of the best things about the Harry Potter series is that it gets better with each book, and you can see the cunning, convoluted narrative that Rowling has woven, complete with well-placed allusions and deceptively simple clues.

As Harry enters adolescence, the tone of the novel shifts. As a result, the plot becomes more engaging, but also more convoluted and darker.

Harry, unlike the unchanging characters in other novels or series, is growing older and becoming less emotionally stable. The novel continues to appeal to both children and adults, although it contains some terrifying monsters known as Dementors, as well as a lot of emphasis on Harry's parents' deaths.

I feel compelled to mention the Percy Jackson Series here, as I always do when discussing the Harry Potter Series, because these two series featured main characters that grew in age as the series progressed, bringing them much closer to reality and allowing readers to follow them more closely than static characters in other series.

The recognizable, approachable characters are brought to life and come across as extremely lifelike, which is fantastic for kids. In this installment, Harry's friendship with Ron and Hermione takes a new turn. Hermione is being forced to make difficult decisions that will affect Harry and, in especially, Ron, with whom she is always at odds.

Normally, I am opposed to mentioning names from the books I review, but in certain circumstances, I believed it was appropriate to do so, thus it goes as follows: I liked Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he is a terrific new character who hides a huge hairy secret in the novel, but it also has a good cast of other characters. Professor Trelawney is in charge of Divination research. While Hagrid expresses his admiration for all magical animals. Professor Snape is cryptic, causing you to wonder about his genuine motivations. Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, who play crucial roles in the series' subsequent installments, are also introduced.


Final Thoughts:

There are a lot of entertaining, unexpected, and thrilling story aspects in this novel. Many components in this novel are not what they appear to be at first glance; I can't say which ones since they are the story's important themes and might spoil it for the reader. The mystery surrounding Lord Voldemort's assassination of Harry's parents is becoming more central, and fresh information is being disclosed. The conclusion, too, was thrilling and dramatic.

Just keep in mind that you'll need to read the prior two books in the series to fully comprehend what's going on. J.K. Rowling has done an amazing job once again with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and how she managed to pull it off with so much mystery and the way she is building up the Lord Voldemort story in the background, which is veiled with hints dropping every now and then and keeps you wondering and worrying about Harry Potter at all times.


Synopsis:

“"Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go."


When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss...

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging, and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.”

The Review:

This is the second novel in the Harry Potter series and it is superior to the first since we have previously met all of the characters. Character development and friendships strengthen in the second novel, and you begin to get close to the young magicians, realizing why this series has such a devoted following.

The novel is exciting and innovative, with a lot of heart. The narrative is densely packed with content, with little to no filler. This is a children's series, yet it's the first time in a long time that I've read a book without skimming through it. There's nothing in it that you'll want to miss!

Author J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is another masterpiece, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. But this time the party is a little more mature in every manner than it was in the first book; this isn't necessarily a negative thing, but you can see the plot is picking up speed, and the kids will grow into adults in the next few novels, and they will undoubtedly become more powerful than they are now.

It's fantastic for a parent to read with their child because any opportunity to bond over something, especially as they get older, is fantastic.

Adults who did not read this series as children are welcome to participate; they will not be bored. Yes, they're children's novels, but they're written at a level that everyone can appreciate. That's where the true magic happens! I'd want to mention one more of my favorite book series that is practically identical in one respect: anyone of any age may read it: the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan which I highly recommend in the context of what I'm discussing right now.

I essentially knew what occurred while I was reading the book since I had seen the movie, and while reading you hope certain parts from the book made it into the film. Books, as usual, cannot be beaten when it comes to the details you can conjure up in your mind while reading the words, while movies do not contain everything in order to save time and for a variety of other reasons, therefore I always recommend reading the book first and then seeing the movie. I must clarify that the movies were fantastic for this series, but they couldn't compare to the novels.

Every novel in this series takes place over the course of a year at Hogwarts, which I find fascinating. Every summer, Harry is forced to spend time with his nasty family, and reading about them and how they treat Harry Potter makes my blood boil.

But there is a lesson in it as well; you can learn to live with bullies and yet come out fantastic and not a bitter mess, and there are a lot of nice things to learn, but I believe it is best if you read it for yourself and then comment here. Another thing I enjoyed about it was that he had a place to sleep and eat at such a young age, but many children don't even have a roof over their heads on cold nights, so reading about his condition was a nice sobering experience. Particularly in the first book, where you learn where he sleeps at that place where he is required to be during the summers.

The Chamber of Secrets has so much to offer. The writing is wonderful. This one appealed to me more than the first. This novel holds a particular place in my heart since I enjoyed reading about Harry and his troubles. Things aren't looking up for him. He is being blamed for almost everything. In this one, there was a new teacher. He irritated me because of the way he irritated Harry. Each of the characters is wonderful in his/her own manner and style. The narrative is fantastic and follows the same path as the previous novel in the series.


Final Thoughts:

There's a lot going on with this one but I am not going to tell anything here because I don't want to ruin it for the new readers. But I'd want to share some views with you. I admire Harry and Ron's friendship, as well as Hermione's. It's breathtaking to read about and teaches us to be friends like the good guy cast. Though I do believe we don't get to witness nearly enough of it since there is so much incredible stuff going on all the time. 

J.K. Rowling has accomplished something that only a few authors have been able to accomplish. Reading these books actually educates you in language, which is why parents should introduce such books to their children.


Synopsis:

“"There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year."

Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby, and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone.... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true.

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging, and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.”

Nine Lives

Originally Published: July 2021
Author: Danielle Steel
Genres: Women's Sagas, Women's Friendship Fiction, Family Life Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Women’s fiction, Mothers & Children Fiction, Women's Domestic Life Fiction

After reading about the genres of this book, you may think I read books from this genre also and my answer is yes I read almost everything that I can get my hands on, plus don’t forget, it is written by Miss. Danielle Steel. Who I thought was a man for a long time until I saw her picture and that was something that I will never forget because the same day I found one more blunder in my life and it was about another writer, Late Mr. Sidney Sheldon, I thought he was a woman. I loved his writing and am feeling sad about losing him at the moment while writing about him. I wish he was able to write more because I loved his great ideas. The next review is surely going to be about one of his books.

The books related to genres that are about mothers, women, family, and children are usually eye-openers and teach us a lot of lessons if written properly. No need to write with spice and twists, just a normal family drama and daily situations are enough to make a book famous and number one on any top ranking list. That is why I read these books so I can learn something about how to be good with family and the women around me.

I can’t say that I read all of this author’s books but yes I read a lot of them. If you read her previous books then you kind of know this book also but it is as good as any other book by her. I normally never spoil the story or tell anything about the story but here I must tell something about this one…this story is about a woman who lives a very dull and boring life because of her past and now she is changing because of something from the past. In simple words, if you want an adventure with romance and excitement and be quick and happy about it, then read this book because it feels like the time is flying with this book. It is a fast and easy read and you can actually finish the book in one sitting if nothing else to do.

The bad side of this book is the repetitive stuff and in some cases the wooden and stiff characters but for some these characters can be real and you may start to care for them. Sometimes a book is the same but the way we read or understand it is not the same. Like someone who doesn’t know the author’s style may feel robbed when trying to read this book but for the fans, it is a great story. So the choice is always yours. I am not going to give it full points due to this reason but in my heart, this book deserves a hundred points.


Synopsis:
“NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman who longs to avoid risk at all cost learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.

After a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all cost.

Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie instead sought out all the things her mother had lost—a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.

Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent thirty years trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.”

I can’t give this book a hundred points even if I want to do that because that will be like cheating with the people who read my reviews and trust me when deciding to buy a book. It has its flaws and many readers may not like this book and the writing style of Miss. Danielle Steel, even some fans may feel angry at the repetitive style or same formula of writing.

I am sure it is unintentional and the concept and story may seem kind of the same but it is not. And for those people who say I can see the plot and story even before it happens…my reply is: I can tell even the dialogue of many movies even before the actors speak; the reason Is very simple, I read a lot, and after you have that much data in your mind, you can really start to act like a supercomputer so just relax and enjoy what you just bought and don’t spoil it for others.


Rating: 90/100
