A really powerful drama! Not something I would pick up on my own accord but something I had to read for my English A-Level and after reading Pride & Prejudice I really was not looking forward to this. I was pleasantly surprised, however, at how much I really did enjoy this.

Both main characters are interesting in their own way, with Blanche being the over the top Sourthern-belle falling into an uncontrollable madness spurred on my her ageing and sisters working class, brash husband, Stanley. Stanley is an uncontrollable animal of a man, he knows what he wants and how to get it.

I love both the film and the drama of this tale and I'm glad I got the chance to study it.

Another great book in the series. As Harry, Ron and Hermione embark on their second year at Hogwarts there are more adventures to be had and mysteries to uncover. The character development continues, particularly for Ron who shows that he is definitely brave enough to be in Gryffindor by facing his biggest fear to help his friends. We are introduced to new characters, like Ginny the youngest Weasley, whilst still getting to know the other background characters who help make the story so special. JK Rowling artfully continues to tackle prejudice as witches and wizards with muggle parents are targeted by the mysterious Chamber of Secrets whilst also enduring name calling and bullying. Despite this the book is still lighthearted and utterly hilarious in places. 100% recommend it!!
