This is a book that you will love even if you don't like HP! It is talking about J.K Rowling and her struggle in the world. I think it really shows that authors are just people like us and can fall deep in the gutter like she did...It made me cry in some parts.
I recomend it 100 percent!!!

In this book, you can read JK Rowling's biography and how she wrote the Harry Potter books and got famous.

This book really moves you from the inside when you read about how much she had to struggle, to fight to stay alive and keep her daughter healthy...

JK Rowling is really amazing, and she deserves a lot of good things. The author really tells her story trying to hide the harshness of JK Rowling's life, while keeping the essential, really letting us see the difficulties and obstacles JK Rowling had to fight. She truly is amazing, and so is the author of this book.

READ IT!!!
