How does one choose a book to read? This question ran through my mind as I picked up this one. I loved the Harry Potter series and to discover who the author was and how she came up with the character of Harry Potter was a delight.

It was good to discover that Rowling is a wonderfuly sensitive individual who loved the characters and stayed on task until she completed not only the series but fine tuned each novel until she was truly happy with it. She wrote the series for the children, is passionate about encouraging reading and supports causes for single mothers and MS. A

ccording to the author of this book about her, Rowling is a down-to-earth with her feet on the ground. Enjoyablle, entertaining and a quick read.
