With the Harry Potter series JK Rowling produced stories that people – adults and children alike – wanted to read, it seems a shame that an already successful author might feel the need to prove herself further, if indeed she does. This book must represent something of a nightmare for JK Rowling, there will inevitably be those clamouring to shoot her down. There have been accusations that some of the content is Rowling’s attempt to prove that she is now a writer for adults. JK Rowling has already proved herself in a sense – she is a publishing phenomenon, and yet this much anticipated new novel for adults has been greeted by mixed reactions. I wasn’t quite sure what I was expecting from the novel really, but I was curious nonetheless. Unlike many of the people reading and talking about this book, I have not read the Harry Potter books, I did see two of the films – when we took the children from the school where I work to see them – but that is the extent of my Harry Potter experience. In buying and reading this much talked about novel I have quite unashamedly jumped on the band wagon.
