I haven't read a single fiction book since the Harry Potter

PLEB

>>10019098
Because they're targeted toward children

>>10019098
Because you're a fucking manchild and there's no hope for you. You disgust me. At least the fags who read pleb fantasy like The Name of the Wind aren't reading books for literal children.

>Why are the Harry Potter books just so good and easy to read?

They're written at a fifth grade reading level.

Try the beat generation

Because your tiny brain is only able to comprehend things on the level of one of the dullest franchises in history. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Flagrant newfaggotry. Cannot believe how shameless youngsters on 4chan are these days.

For the love of god can someone please explain to me why pic-related ALWAYS accompanies this pasta. Even on /tv/, this tier list is always the pic unrelated.

Sometimes it's not their fault. They think they're making an innocent comment but don't realize their failure to recognize something will out them. Happened a few days ago in the parody thread where some newfriend didn't recognize the "sunset found her squatting in the grass..." line.

Because they're written for a preschool reading level and/or ""adults"" with retard-tier IQ's.
