Anything with Harry Potter referenced in it is a great book in my eyes<3

The book was overall fairly informational, but in such a way that it was mostly pretty boring to read about. I'm doing a "Greatest Person" project and this really came in handy when learning about Jk Rowling.

THis is the best biography for the Harry Potter author that I have seen. It provided lots of information about Jo's life while keeping the story interesting.

How very frustrating that this biography covers Rowling's life only up to the release of the fifth book. Another problem, it's poorly written with many repetitions and a wooden style that more lists a series of facts than exhibits any feeling for the subject. But as a long-time fan of Rowling and a Harry Potter fanatic, I enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed it! It was really interesting, it gives you a different point of view in Harry Potter and also of a different time. Since it's from 2002 you can read about what the Potter phenomenon was like when it was truly happening. I also loved reading about her life and what Harry meant to her when her life was crambling.
I totally recommend!

This is still the best of the myriad Rowling biographies, even though by now it is widely outdated. It is well-researched, nuanced and well-written too. There are some repetitions, but overall this is very readable still. Most of the other biographies are either straight hagiography or sensationalist bullshit.
Maybe Rowling is still too young a writer to have a really good biography written about her.

It is interesting to read that our role models make mistakes and have struggles too. I also liked how the timeline went from being born to present. I liked learning where and how one of my favorite authors grew up. It is a little slow in the middle, however. I wish it had told us about the publishing process in more detail. Also, it kind of gets a bit boring, but otherwise, I enjoyed it.

¡Ah!
Me pasó como con Magic beyond words. "No lo va a lograr" pienso, aunque sé que lo logró.
Y de nuevo, como con cada libro leído en inglés, siento al necesidad de escribir la review en inglés pero no puedo porque no sé. Jajaja.
Es una buena biografía, al ser "potterhead" me sé su vida al derecho y al revés, en algunas partes me mataba que encontraran tantas conexiones. No creo que Jotaká haya pensado taaaaanto, en todo. El libro fue escrito en el 2002 o 2003 entonces, apenas dice algo sobre la orden del fénix.
Si quieren pasar un rato agradable, la recomiendo.

It's a good book but I wish the info was more recent.

Very good, thorough bio of Rowling, rags to riches story, it took a long time to read as the print was very small (8 or 9 point.)

for english class i have to read a biography; i'm learning a lot about J.K., but i really don't like the way it's written.

This book showed that there was a different side to the multi-millionaire author. Who would've known. Connie Ann Kirk is referenced in my book.
