Re: Good news!
Yeah, the books bore the shit out of me... well, I only read the first one and I found it infantile and patronising.
The films are great though.

I enjoyed reading them. (Okay, Brenda ordered me to read the first one, but we had fun with them after that. Had to buy two of the last ones to avoid conflicts.)Pappa wrote:It was infantile and patronising... even for children.Gawdzilla wrote:It's a CHILDREN'S BOOK, Pappa. You should read it with children.

Re: Good news!
I enjoyed Harry Potter when I was 11 and reading the first books. However, Rowling's attempt to mature the books along with the readers failed dismally, and I find the movies unbearably annoying and the books slightly tolerable and incredibly overrated. Especially when she tried to make the characters more relevant by inserting cliched teenage angst and relationship problems with no bearing to the story or with any plausibility. Fuck off, Rowling. Lloyd Alexander remains the undisputed master of the children's book.

Re: Good news!
Read about 40 pages of the first one and got bored. I'm probably not the target market but even for books to read to the kids, there's better. Like The Famous Five. Or the Phone Book.
