The book I am reading is World War 2.The one thing that I like about this book is it shows what life was like for citizens in fighting countries.This book displays the  views of  both  nations involved in the war.The book also has fun facts while  reading.The book shows how hard the war was on familys and the econmy  of   all the contreis.The book shows the veicals and weapons used in  battle.The book does a really good job of telling you where battles took place. One part that I like is when the book shows war propaganda from each leader of the war. The book highlights the important information of each significant battle, like the time, place, and casualties taken by either side. Another area the book describes is the involvement of women in the war for the first time. Women were involved in the war effort for America by nursing wounded soldiers back to health. In the Soviet Union Women pilots were used in combat situations. The book also talks about the after effects of WW2 and how it affected many of the later wars like Vietnam and the ColdWar. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys studying American history or World War II. Also this book would be enjoyable and interesting to anyone who loves to read because it is enticing and it is very well written. For readers who want to learn about the fall of famous dictators like Adolf Hitler, there is a lot of information as well.

This book  starts not even with any thing to do with Harry but in the end it plays the biggest part on how to understand the book.Well in the middle there are many things that happen like doing some of the dangeraus tasks a wizeard can do. He also goes to a dance and teleports with a boot.In the end he wins  the bigget honor a wizard can win but does he want it after what the one who must not be named retunes.My favorite part is when you meet harrys parents and he escapes and he who must not be named fails again with trying to get harry.After the returen of he who must not be named the minister really is scared so he tells everyone he has not returned.Something happens that allows voldemort to touch Harry so now harry needs to try to find a way to destroy voledemort.My one thing I didn,t like about the book ishow a reporter tells lies about harry like he is 12 when he really is 14.I really enjoyed the book because it always made me want to read more and I wanted to be part of the story it had all the thing I like in a book like adventure and it had a cliffhanger at the end to really want to get the next book and see for your self if it is your kind of book because who knows it might have more than I mentioned.To me the book is a 5 star book but see for your self.

The book I am writing to you about is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets .  The book starts by telling you how Harry lives. He lives with his nasty aunt and uncle and the worst, his cousin Dudley. They treat Harry like dirt, but they stop treating him so poorly after Harry learned  magic. One little detail I forgot is that Harry is a wizard. In this book Harry begins his second year as a student at his magic school named Hogwarts. He has trouble getting back to school after a magic elf drops a pudding pie on his uncle’s business partners head. His uncle basically made Harry’s life prison when that happened, but Harry has friends who got worried and took him back do the wizard  world. His friend Ron Weasly wrecked his fathers car on school grounds and Ron and Harry get detention because of this incident .During the beginning  of their school year many things occur like ghost party’s and the  beginning of a big problem starts when a teacher’s cat gets petrified.  Everyone at the school tries to see what is going on in the school and why a cat has got petrified. Harry has a special rare gift of being able to speak to snakes, known as having Parsel tongue. This rare gift causes people at the school to suspect that Harry has something to do with the petrification of the cat and as the book continues, the petrification of others as well. There are many adventures that Harry goes through to help solve the mystery. Harry deals with one of his teachers going to wizards prison and giant spiders.  The climax of the story is when Harry’s in the chamber of secrets fighting a monster that is making all of theses attacks or is it!  I would read this book because the way it makes you want to read more every page with all the adventurs and mysterys. This is my review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
