A brutally honest and funny memoir from Tom Felton, best known as Draco Malfoy, as his life before and experiences filming the Harry Potter movies, and his struggles in adulthood after as he tried to find himself apart from his fame.

Amazing. So good. Will recommend to everyone. Even better when listened to. I didn’t think it was possible, but I finished this book being even more in love with Tom.

If you’re a fan of Tom Felton and Harry Potter, this is a great book to listen to the audio for. Tom does a great job narrating his own stories and does give you a glimpse of life of set - which was fun. I can’t say anything he wrote about was groundbreaking and I liked his recap of his substance abuse struggles towards the end, but overall it seems that growing up on set wasn’t too bad for him. Would only recommend if you’re a fan!

I loved that Tom narrated this audiobook himself- I think I would have otherwise enjoyed it less. There were some really interesting stories in here that im glad I have as bits of trivia now! I am not a non-fiction fan by any means, so this was never going to get a crazy high rating, but it was good. Hes an interesting guy and was pretty vulnerable in the stories he shared. While I cant relate to any of his antics, I think a lot of people probably can and the target audience for this is not all harry potter fans, but fans of tom in general who were a bit of a trouble maker themselves.
