Reviewed by SophiaBeyond the wand gab nicht nur Einblicke in Feltons Leben unter dem Einfluss von Harry Potter, sondern auch mit den Konsequenzen und Herausfordernden denen er begegnet. Obwohl ich das Buch zeitweise als recht langatmig empfunden habe, so habe ich dennoch wichtige Erkenntnisse und Einblicke bekommen können. Hinter die Kulissen der Filme zu blicken war spannend aber vor allem einen offenen und ehrlichen Eindruck in die Schattenseiten des Lebens im Rampenlicht.
Reviewed by MelliIch habe es geliebt!!! Tom blickt voller Demut und Dankbarkeit auf sein bisheriges Leben zurück und hat nichts als nette Worte und Lob für seine Mitmenschen übrig. Beim Nachwort hatte ich dann wirklich Tränen in den Augen. Was für ein toller Mensch.
