*Dogsbody* by Diana Wynne Jones. Who, as far as I'm concerned, blows J.K. Rowling right outta the water.

At last...

Somebody who knows who Diana Wynne Jones is, and that she beats Rowling into a cocked hat.

There was an interview with DWJ in one of the Sunday papers where they asked her what she thought of Rowling and she basically said 'well, a thankyou would be nice' :)

Margaret Mahy and Michelle Magorian have Rowling beat as well.

Of yep, Rowling is to fantasy literature what Starbucks is to coffee -- ultimately annoying.

And to juvenile writing what megastores are to shopping.... the soul has been lost somewhere along the road to profit.
