A review by impreader
J. K. Rowling: The Wizard Behind Harry Potter by Marc Shapiro

A fairly breezy easy-reading sort of overview for biography--but one that draws the reader nearer knowing Rowling, at least in superficials, without much conscious work. Ah. Say that sentence five times fast! But it's true. Though maybe a little depthless, the book is charming like its subject. There's a lot of hope in Rowling's life as well, and affirmation in slogging through, even when the days are rainy, and there's only napkins to ink with your stories.
