Review of 'Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
It's impossible to sit down for a few hours and grasp every nuance of a topic so richly diverse as harry Potter. I suppose I therefore read this book trying to understand one person's (the author's) journey through the Potter world. There's no denying that Anelli can write and write well, and despite being utterly real, this heartwarming, modern-day coming of age story is still that. it charts not only Potter's explosive success, but Anelli's growth at the same time. Laced with whit, reflection, and more importantly so much of the Human Spirit missing from some fiction, it was great to see just how much of a difference harry Potter had made to one young woman's life.
