Picked this one up from the library. Did the audio, which is narrated by Tom Felton himself. It's non-fiction, so in general the narrator doesn't matter much, but there was some times when he would slip into Draco or do some accents or whatever to add a little extra to his story.
I didn't know about any of the post Harry Potter stuff (or most of the pre-Harry Potter stuff for that matter). He's had a fairly interesting life and the book had some good stories in it. He also talked about his mental health issues and how that led to his issues with drugs and alcohol.
The parts I enjoyed the most were the Harry Potter bits, something that is a lot harder to do these days. I don't want anything to do with JK Rowling, but I still love the books and enjoy the movies despite her recent crusade to be an awful human being.
Tom certainly mentions her a few times. It's hard to know what he feels about her now, but certainly he comes off as grateful to her for the books and what Harry Potter has meant to his life.
I like to think the best of people and it's not his job to take a stand on someone else's beliefs. I'm also not certain when this book was written vs. when JK Rowling started her crusade.
So if you're all out on Harry Potter, I totally get it and probably will want to take a pass on this book. But if you still love it like I do, and want some interesting stories about his time on the films, this is a good book to check out.
