Over de Auteur

J. K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in Gloucestershire, U. K. on July 31, 1965. She also writes fiction novels under the name of Robert Galbraith. Rowling attended Tutshill Primary and then went on to Wyedean Comprehensive where she was made Head Girl in her final year. She received a degree toon meer in French from Exeter University. She later took some teaching classes at Moray House Teacher Training College and a teacher-training course in Manchester, England. This extensive education created a perfect foundation to spark the Harry Potter series that Rowling is renowned for. After college, Rowling moved to London to work for Amnesty International, where she researched human rights abuses in Francophone Africa, and worked as a bilingual secretary. In 1992, Rowling quit office work to move to Portugal and teach English as a Second Language. There she met and married her husband, a Portuguese TV journalist. But the marriage dissolved soon after the birth of their daughter. It was after her stint teaching in Portugal that Rowling began to write the premise for Harry Potter. She returned to Britain and settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister, and attempted to at least finish her book, before looking for another teaching job. Rowling was working as a French teacher when her book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in June of 1997 and was an overnight sensation. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone won the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Award, and received a Commended citation in the Carnegie Medal awards. She also received 8,000 pounds from the Scottish Arts Council, which contributed to the finishing touches on The Chamber of Secrets. Rowling continued on to win the Smarties Book Prize three years in a row, the only author ever to do so. At the Bologna Book Fair, Arthur Levine from Scholastic Books, bought the American rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for the unprecedented amount of $105,000.00. The book was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for it's American release, and proceeded to top the Best Seller's lists for children's and adult books. The American edition won Best of the Year in the School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Parenting Magazine and the Cooperative Children's Book Center. It was also noted as an ALA Notable Children's Book as well as Number One on the Top Ten of ALA's Best Books for Young Adults. The Harry Potter Series consists of seven books, one for each year of the main character's attendance at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All of the books in the series have been made into successful movies. She is number 1 on the Hollywood Reporter's '25 Most Powerful Authors' 2016 list. She has also written Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. She won the 2016 PEN/Allen Foundation Literary Service Award. In 2016 she, along with Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, published the script of the play Harry Potter and the cursed child. It became an instant bestseller. Rowling's first novel for an adult audience,The Casual Vacancy, was published by Little Brown in September 2012. She made The New York Times Best Seller List with her title Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination. She published two bestselling fiction novels under the name of Robert Galbraith: The Cuckoo's Calling and The Silkworm. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Knap geschreven, soms iets te langdradig di teveel herhaling van feiten.

Absorberend in onderhoudend geschreven! Een flinke aanrader als je van het genre houdt. Het verhaal speelt zich deels af in begoede kringen en de betere Londense buurden, deels in de wereld van fotomodels en sterren, deels in Denmark Street waar Cormoran Strike met zijn buro huist. Je krijgt een inkijk in de wereld van Robin, zijn interimhulp.

Cormoran Strike en Robin Ellacott horen inmiddels tot een van mijn favoriete detective koppels. De boeken over hen zijn nooit saai en meestal behoorlijk ingewikkeld. Ook dit zesde deel is dat. Veel, heel veel personages (op het hoogtepunt had ik een lijst van 189 namen), conversaties in de vorm van twittergesprekken, forum-chats en emails, allemaal in kolomvorm en met hun eigen opmaak. Echt heel goed gedaan.

Het onderwerp is de moord en poging tot moord op Edie Ledwell en Josh Blay. Edie is kort daarvoor om hulp komen vragen aan Robin, die dat af moest wijzen vanwege personeelstekorten en omdat ze niet echt ervaring hebben met online stalking.
Edie en Josh zijn de makers van een serie cartoons die tamelijk lugubere onderwerpen hebben maar die door bepaalde mensen met veel enthousiasme worden ontvangen. Er ontstond een cult rond de cartoons, maar die wordt aangevallen door iemand die zich Anomie noemt en Edie wil dat Cormoran en Robin uitzoeken wie die Anomie is. Als ze later horen van de moord op Edie worden ze bij de zoektocht betrokken en moeten ze alles op alles zetten om het geheel tot een goed einde te brengen.

Enorm spannend en ingewikkeld en met een uitkomst die ik helemaal niet aan zag komen.
Hulde aan de auteur en absoluut een aanrader.

Dit zou volgens velen het 8e deel uit de Harry Potter-reeks zijn. In mijn ogen is dat niet zo.


Tja, het verhaal had best wat kunnen zijn, als het maar als verhaal was geschreven, en niet als een toneelstuk. Ik heb fan-fiction gelezen die wat mij betreft stukken beter waren dan dit verhaal. Zeker de James Potter serie van G. Norman Lippert .

Het boek kon me op dit moment niet erg boeien, de twee kinderen Albus Severus Potter en Scorpius Malfoy raken bevriend op de trein naar Hogwarts, en worden beide in Slytherin geplaatst. De eerste jaren vliegen voorbij.
In het vierde jaar willen de twee vrienden proberen een fout uit het verleden te herstellen. Ze stelen een 'time-turner', en veranderen hiermee de toekomst. Uiteindelijk komt alles gelukkig wel goed.
