> Reviews of Ms Rowling’s new book were largely positive
What? This article was clearly written by someone with an angle or who doesn’t follow the publishing industry. The reviews were “largely positive” simply because the book was so terrible the vast majority of reviewers opted not to review it at all. JKR obviously wields a lot of influence in the publishing world and silence from book reviewers about her latest novel speaks volumes.
Compare the four reviews of JKR’s The Ink Black Heart[1] with the 12 reviews given to Richard Osmond’s latest The Bullet that Missed[2] or Stephen Kings newest title Fairy Tale[3] which received 13 reviews or even debut novels from unknown authors like Kaikeyi[4] Beautiful Country[5] both of which received nearly twice as many reviews as Rowling.
