| Re: Terry Pratchett lays into JK Rowling! The magazine also said Rowling reinvented fantasy fiction, which was previously stuck in "an idealised, romanticised, pseudofeudal world, where knights and ladies morris-dance to Greensleeves". Bollocks!! if you think thats fantasy you dont know **** No wonder they think she is something special in the genre..... Let the media hail her the somone who changed fantasy. They dont know anything as usuall. "I would have thought that the wizards, witches, trolls, unicorns, hidden worlds, jumping chocolate frogs, owl mail, magic food, ghosts, broomsticks and spells would have given her a clue?" Haha TP is so funny with this  |

| Re: Terry Pratchett lays into JK Rowling! Well, I enjoyed the Potter books the first time around (though I was getting increasingly irritated with the adolescent antics in books 6 and 7), BUT.... Rowling may be a talented story-teller, but in comparison, Terry Pratchett is a writer. As to his "laying into" Rowling, I doubt that it was more than an amused, throwaway comment. An author's success is not only measured in sales, and I don't think Rowling will ever command the respect that Pratchett does. Between the two, there's no contest - Viva Pterry! |

| Re: Terry Pratchett lays into JK Rowling! Rowling didn't know she was writing fantasy? Somehow I doubt it. I have to agree with PTerry...the magic kind of gives it away. Morris-dancing to Greensleeves. Please excuse me while I go laugh hysterically and scream at the same time. Has this journalist ever read a single fantasy book that wasn't Harry Potter? I can't believe we're still talking about this two years later. Funny how things can last. |
