An Interview with J.K.Rowling by Lindsey Fraser, 0749743948, Lowest Book Price Finder

Customer Reviews:

Good - but for younger fans!

This is a good little book and was a welcome addition to my bookshelf. It provides some interesting background information about Rowling's childhood, her life and her motivations. However it lacks the depth of criticism and analysis that older fans may value.

But then this is an interview with JK herself so the facts are straight 'from the horse's mouth' (for want of a better saying) and who could ask for more than that!

I would definitely recommend it - no matter what your age! But if you're that little bit older just be prepared for the larger sized print and more simple writing style!

For novices and aficionados of Harry Potter

If you have just discovered the Harry Potter books and want to learn more about their author, this is the book for you. In addition to the interview, there is a summary of the books and a description of the main characters.

If you are a real fan and have read the news paper interviews, you will know some of it already, but you will still find many new details. In this interview Joanne Rowling elaborates on her childhood, her likes and dislikes, and on how she came to write the Harry Potter books. Especially, the details of her childhood in the country are very endearing.

All in all, a very nice, little book for young and old, for novices and aficionados.
