Why I read it in the first place?
This book’s title, if I free translate it into English will
be ‘The Success Story of J. K. Rowling: Behind The Writing Process of Harry
Potter’. I bought this book
long long time ago when I was a maniac for Harry Potter (I’m still kind of are).
The Harry Potter series are, undoubtedly undebatedly, THE best children book EVER,
although its reader is so beyond that. J. K. Rowling also became one of my
obsession at that time, when I had
Harry Potter fever (again, I’m still kind of are), so I smartly bought many
biographies of her. Yes, many biographies. This book by Indra Ismawan is one of
them. I re-read it because I’ll say byebye to it pretty soon (insert sad
backsong). If you notice, I joined a bookblogger community recently, Blogger Buku Indonesia (BBI). There, I got myself in a book-swap deal with other fellow member,
Roro. This will be my second book-swap I have ever experienced. My first was
when I was an elementary kid, I swapped my Sailor Venus comics for Sailor Moon
comics (cute, I know). Roro seemed desperately wished to own this book and was
in an intense hunting for it, so I just offered mine. I thought, this book is
better be in hands of those who really appreciate it. Because of that, I just
felt the need to re-read it, you know, as a farewell ritual, and decided to
make a rambling too about it. I read it in a hurry, finished it in one day,
because I'm actually currently reading another book, Stephen Hawking’s, I
paused that for reading and reviewing this book.
