Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets: Book 2
by J.K. (Joanne) Rowling
 (12/26/2003)
This book is pure fun. Harry learns a little more about the wizarding world, Voldemort, and himself. Dobby is a sweetie...poor guy.
Seabiscuit: An American Legend
by Laura Hillenbrand
 (12/26/2003)
I'm not a fan of biographies in general, but this book is practically brilliant. You forget that you're being taught a history lesson. If you don't love horses already...and who doesn't?...you will after reading Seabiscuit. What grit, what determination, what in-your-face confidence. We can all learn some things from this legendary horse (and the men who staked their fortunes on him). Oh, and the movie is good, but the book is better.
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone: 1st Published in UK as Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone
by J.K. (Joanne) Rowling
 (12/26/2003)
As the book that started it all, how can I not love it?!
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban: Book 3
by J.K. (Joanne) Rowling
 (12/26/2003)
With suspense as the criterion, this is probably my favourite book from the series thus far. I love all the twists and turns. The Prisoner of Azbakan doesn't pack the emotional punch of Order of the Phoenix, but I love it anyway. Harry begins to grow up in this book. He displays a very admirable and heroic quality: forgiveness. I'm sure it'll pay off in the end:)
The Lovely Bones
by Alice Sebold
 (12/26/2003)
This is a great book. Pulls at those heart strings. The end is a little too weird for comfort, though.
The Notebook
by Nicholas Sparks
 (12/26/2003)
I'm picky with my 5's, but The Notebook is a great book--definitely the best by Nicholas Sparks. His other titles are too sappy and formulaic. This one is good, though. A very touching read. Very romantic. If you want to believe that true love exists, and that it can overcome everything, even the frailties of human memory, then read this book. It might even make you cry a bit.
