Honestly impressed at how many errors there are in this book

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I just finished this book after picking it up at B&N, I enjoyed the book and it was fun but there were some errors. For example, on one page where the book lists one direction songs it says "One More Thing" instead of "One Thing." It can also be hard to read certain passages because of the font the book uses and/or the color it is.

Meh. I bought this at Barnes and Noble because it was $10 and I absolutely love Harry. It's great just for a coffee table book to flip through and admire pictures of Harry. The book has quite a few errors and some of the font/background colors make it difficult to read. Cute pictures, but the writing could definitely use some work.

I would love to give this 5 ⭐ just for being Harry content, but as a book this was just ok. There were a lot of errors within the book and a lot of repeating of the same events/timeline multiple times. I have to say though I loveddd all of the photos.

Absolutely loved this!! As a massive fan of H I already knew the majority but just being able to read it all in one book from the very beginning to now just makes me even more proud of him than I already am 🤍

This book has errors upon errors about Harry’s life, it was infuriating to read and I don’t think something so inaccurate should be published as something people could take as being something completely honest.

[Harlee Nowland · Rating 3 out of 5]

5 stars for Harry. 3 stars for the chapter dedicated to his ex-partners not to mention the spelling and grammatical errors. Disappointed but not surprised.

The font made it difficult to read at times but it had a lot of good pictures of Harry so I liked it

[Treva Flores · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hard to read because of the font color/style and there’s quite a few typos. The pictures are 5/5 stars though.

[Gabriela · Rating 1 out of 5]

They labeled Louis as Liam and it was all downhill from there

[Ance Anete · Rating 4 out of 5]

His whole existence is my favourite story to read, but the quality of the writing and some of the photos could have been better.

[Grace P · Rating 5 out of 5]

PERFECT

[Larra Olson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book has beautiful pictures and while glancing at the pages, they are attractive and eye catching. However, the fonts used and the layout cause the read to be laborious and confusing. One has to tap into patience and understanding while navigating the text. Another research source, I found reliable information that is duplicated in multiple texts.
