An enjoyable and insightful read! If you are a HP fan, it will be especially enjoyable as it is covered extensively in the book. An extremely candid account of Felton’s own struggles with addiction and mental health.

Enjoyable read. Nice to have a different take on the Potter films.

After reading the Harry Potter books this past year, I was really looking forward to reading this book (I was excited to read it regardless). I think hearing about the life of being a kid while acting in these movies really shows how difficult it must be to juggle both being a working profession and a kid. I loved hearing some of the behind the scenes of what it was like, and it made me love the books even more. I think his post Harry Potter story was hard to talk about, but it really shows the humanity of the author. Overall a very pleasant read, and hope to watch more of his stuff in the future!

This is my favorite autobiography I have read to date. I definitely recommend it but listen to it in Audio. Tom does the reading and is excellent! I love the little things he has told about his experience with the Harry Potter movies and some of his other movies he has done. He captured me right off and I loved listening to his story all the way through. He is so honest about what he has been through and I love that he wants to make rehab a common thing not to be embarrassed by it. We each could use a little once in a while.

Thought this was really fun to listen to, as he reads it himself. Some great details about his time on the Harry Potter movies and stories about other parts of his life, too.
