Comment on J.K. Rowling and the Chamber of Literary Fame

Comments

now that JK Rowling has been publicly identified as author, Amazon updated its listing: http://amzn.to/1bzcC72

Did you catch the top comment on the amazon page? It's pretty neat.

"July 7, 2013 By Karen This book is so well written that I suspect that some years down the road we will hear the author's name is a pseudonym of some famous writer. "

Karen is JK's other pseudonym :-)

It'd be fun to have a page of images from US and UK versions of books (but with the titles photoshopped out) and ask people to match them.

Interestingly all the 1 star reviews happened only after the author's true identity was revealed. What kind of psychology is that?
