Not dark enough for my tastes. Reading Why I killed Gandhi right now. Wonderfully insane. |

No matter what, some book is going to be similar to another... almost all the ideas are already taken, so it is hard to come up with a new one, especially with the number of authors 'round. |

Exactly. Most of these things are like mongrels...When I first read Harry Potter (was 12), it felt like a cross between Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton boarding school books. Bartimaeus= Discworld+Real life politics. Stroud says he's read Faust by Marlowe so the demon summoning thing is from there. I could think of equations for half of these things...the truly original ones would be the ones in the equations...haha. |

It is too hard to think up something new, without some part of it being similar to another book. |

I should probably ask Mom what the release date is, so I have fair warning to lock myself in my room until the rant of mob of idiots who love it is over. |
