The internet is a terrible place

Have you imagined your husband is a vampire (or werewolf) and suddenly have the libido of newlywed again?
because reading is for nerds
The parents are too busy watching Oprah and reality TV.
HOW.
STELLA.
ok you know where i'm going with this
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
WE GOT A MAN DOWN
And there's also a big difference between "allowed to have opinions on things" and "needs stimulation from no less than five sources to hold his attention for more than three minutes"
She's just got so much of it
I dont think she is bland or overrated. I think you are mistaking Harry Potter for being bad when it is quite literally not for you.
She has written books that target a specific audience and that audience loves it. Her success is not some manufactured publicist stunt it is a result of careful and well written books.
Now, I would agree with you broadly that I dont enjoy Harry Potter. But that doesnt make her a bad writer. What distinguishes between Meyer and Rowling is that while they have both achieved that level of market penetration that most writers aspire to, the latter has also achieved critical acclaim too. Meyer has been almost universally panned as a hack, and her books only appeal thematically rather than in a literary sense.
It's really a case of Ridley Scott versus Tony Scott. Both are successful, and lord knows each have had their high points (Alien, Top Gun) but one is significantly more respected than the other by his peers and in the end that is what differentiates between a successful writer and a good writer.
Either way, I'm not saying you're wrong. Just that I think by saying Rowling is even in the same league as Meyer is incredibly insulting to her, because Stephanie Meyer is doing damage to the good work that Rowling has built up among the literary youth. If you were 12 when Harry Potter started you're now about 20 or so. The age where the themes of Twilight like lust and preposterous Vampire tooth cesareans appeal to you. It is merely a shame that the method of her writing is so abysmal and so painfully Mary Sue that noone takes her seriously at all.
These are the highlights of the books?
I mean, my favorite young person's fantasy series is still the Chronicles of Narnia, and C.S. Lewis definitely was not at his best writing those.
She's not on the bus anymore so it's a fair assumption that she got laid off.
I'm just practicing my deep, smoldering simile.
She probably became a vampire.
it's not like he wrote ANY good books!!!!1

"UH-MAZING FUCKING BOOK!" - Some fat bitch.
See when you say it like that.....
I mean, how many of you have honestly even heard of him?
He's just jealous that no one reads his books and movies/TV shows are not made from them.
seriously?
he certainly has enough of them
but no, he's never written anything near as successful as these books
"He thinks he's better than her
#1 he is not better he will never be better he is equal to he is exactly the same as in almost every single way but differently"
I don't know how to punctuate that
EDIT: Its at 5:40 by the way
Nobody could... no, it cannot be real
That would be a fantastic bit of internet
