I listened to it on audible not knowing who the author was and it was so amazing I was utterly hooked. They are all incredible and I was a massive fan so I was shocked when I found out who it really was but not surprised. I have to say that it was above average writing by far and away and I knew it before I saw this info. It is proof to me that some people become famous because they are amazingly good writers as well as all the pr. you still need to come up with masterpieces. I am an adult. I didn't get into Harry Potter books. But the corneran strike books are adult books and another thing altogether . I am so so longing to hear another book in the series. Please do one please please JK Rowling do another book in the series. I have been waiting for her to do another book in the series for ages now.

J.K. Rowling is a great writer and has plenty more stories to tell not all I suspect will be witches or wizards and people just need to deal with that Harry's story is over it had a great run it was beautiful take and was my childhood but I'm happy to see she's still creating

It shows people buy a name and not the book itself

You go in a library and find thousands of books and you don't know which one you should choose. So yeah I picked the book for her but stayed for the amazing story. I enjoyed it

It's not that simple and you know it. It's hard to find a great but not particularly famous book. Browsing the unknown is a gamble and there are more rotten apples than there are good ones. So, of course, one of the easier ways for people to find something they like will generally be linked to an already liked author. That's not a statement on the ignorance or douchbaggery of readers, but a simple statistical reality and an uphill battle for new writers.

I'm guessing it was p.a that she fired for stealing from her.

Writers write, that is enough of a satisfaction for them. But after certain time, they need to see if it is worth the time and effort. The money making and fame are certainly proofs that they are good at it. I write because i like it and currently it gives me some valuable aspects that is so satisfactory. If it ever earns money and recognition it would be very good. Whenever i write something i get a hint from outer source, Providence, i think, that i should write on and it would be fruitful one way or another. Some books get recognised after the writer's demise and i think it is not altogether a bad thing. Writers do keep writing. It is what they do.
