Why has nothing beat it since? I want to beat it. I want to come up with the ultimate thing, that all kids will read. Then when I'm as big as JK I will wreck her on twitter. Is it possible??
There's a lot that the first book did right to captivate children. It's not that easy. The rest of the books might have gotten progressively worse as the author started thinking of herself as some sort of edgy genius, but the first is a master piece of children's books.
Children are stupid, write for adults you pussy.

My 7 year old, who really loves Harry Potter, now likes Percy Jackson better.

No, they get progressively better leading up to and including the fourth book, then go downhill afterwards. Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire are the masterpieces of children's books. Philosopher's Stone is the most forgettable and boring of the seven books.

Ok so I spoke to jk and she confirmed that Prisoner and Order were the best so.... can you delete your post pls?

Order is ass though. It's 900 pages of harry reeeeing at people and then Sirius dies at the end. Far too bloated.

Your 7 year old sounds like a fucking idiot.

That was the case before harry potter too

Don Quixote is ass though. It's 400 pages of Don reeeing at imaginary enchanters and then he dies at the end.

Gravity's Rainbow is ass though. It's 800 pages of Slothrop getting erections and then a rocket kills you at the end
