Garbage about jibberish passes for literature today.

I luv Hairy Potty. Every time a new one comes out I rush to the nearest bookstore, pick up a copy and read, or rather try to get through the first two pages, or any two pages at random. And I count the clichés. I must say she (the author) is consistent. In every one of these tomes I have counted 6 or 7 clichés per page. (I don't count the stilted metaphors, but they're there for your enjoyment too.) Ain't nothing like great literature, is there?!

P.S. I read in the paper yesterday that the author is threatening to unleash still more of her graphomaniac output on the world! Hurray!

Man, if that's what you do for entertainment, it must really suck to be you.

Are you claiming to have read every book and are honestly stating that there are 6 or 7 cliches per page? Or have you merely read the critique that you are fond of posting here and infer from it that there are 6 or 7 cliches per page? Either way you are obviously incorrect, but I honestly doubt you have read all the books.

Considering the fact that books are written for tweens and teens, I’m not expecting high falutin’ literature, just good stories. I think they meet that standard.

Bingo!! Be prepared for the potterites to savage you for such comments.
