    Growing up, I thought her books were captivating.

    Same

    Her books captivated youth enough that crime went down when a new book came out.

    What on earth are you talking about? I cannot find a single piece of evidence for that anywhere. That line appears to be as fictional as Harry Potter. The closest thing I can find is this article saying that researchers had seen that there were less admissions to children hospitals during the publication weekend of Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince.

    If you think Harry Potter was mediocre why are you even here?

    Because ‘All’ is a valid way to browse Lemmy which is why it is offered up as an option. I was responding to the article. Moreover, don’t presume to know what I like and what I don’t like simply by saying it’s mediocre. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of my favorite movies of all time and I quote it pretty regularly. It’s not good. Clue I thoroughly love and also quote constantly. Terrible movie.

    The quality of something does not equate to the enjoyment of it.
