The Wicked Hompeage of PLMII: "Harry Potter" Killers?

"Harry Potter" Killers?

Here are some books that the media hyped as the new "Harry Potter", how many more times are we gonna hear that comparison? Not only are these books not the next "Harry Potter", they pretty much are nothing more than media hyped pulp. So they sold millions or thousands of copies, that is what they keep telling us right?

I have opened and started to read both these books, and I was able to quickly spit out the bit of throw-up that filled my mouth upon reading them. I may seem a bit mean, maybe I am and for that I apologize. I know there are some who love these books and to you I say, I am glad that these books have gotten you to read, but there are other books, in print far better than these. I have suggested a book for you to read based upon your previous selection.

Long live the "Pet Rock" !! and these books!!

Have you read the great "TWILIGHT"? Our story begins with Romeo and Juliet mixed with teenage angst ala EMO style, throw in some vampires who long to be loved and bingo! Harry Potter?

Sorry I was at several Harry Potter book releases and waited with hundreds of fans for over two hours to get my hands on the latest copy of Harry's adventures. The author of this vampire series was actually at my local Barnes & Noble signing copies. I saw a handful of kids milling about, it was a surprisingly small turnout.

I think those at the event were there due to the movie being released soon and that's about it. In fact I am quite sure if this, how you ask? Well I overheard two young fans talking about the book.

Here is what I heard :

"Have you read the book?" A teenage fan asks another.

"No, but Robert Pattinson (Edward) is so cute! Did you?"

"No but I can't wait to see the movie." Replies the first.

Guess that sums it up....

(Note to self get movie done about book and have teenage heart throb star in it.)

Here is the other "Harry Potter" Killer or "Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Equal"

I give you "Eragon".

Written by a fifteen year old author (so the legend goes), who read all the great fantasy books ever written, Then he watched the Star Wars trilogy and said "I will write a book!"

So he took a pinch of J.R.R Tolkien (names, plot and such), mixed in a bit of Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonriders of Pern", lets not forget a good dab of "Star Wars" swords and stuff. Give it a stir and you get a book that everyone knows and will love because they love the originals.

Harry Potter Killer?

Well, it was a "Trilogy", now its a "Cycle".( There are three new Star Wars films, can you say new material?)

I am glad this book got people to read fantasy, but again you should read something better.

I also wrote a book when I was fifteen, however I spared the world my innocent youthful remake of several books I read at that time.

(Note to self in next life get a book published, but do it at thirteen years old.)
