This book. I am 31, I grew up with Harry Potter. This book was Not at all what I expected. I didn’t read reviews, so I had no idea of the plot twists or what it would turn into. I was bored at the style and explanation phase of the beginning. But then I couldn’t put it down. And the style perfectly matched the tone of the events. I gasped out loud several times and cried too; applying things to my own life. How can a children’s book bring you hope and help repair your resiliency to pull yourself out of the depressive funk you’ve been stuck in? It really did.... JK Rowling once again touched my life. I am recommending this book to every single person I know. Though there is quite a bit of suffering and death, I won’t be letting my son read it until he’s 9 or older.
