Why would you even put JK Rowling in the company of the other two? The hunger games books were clearly written by committee and calling Stephenie Meyer an author is like calling me a model because I did a hair show in 1987.
"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity… Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
-Robin Browne
And "The Hunger Games" is a completely non-credible dystopia whose heroine takes a whole novel to figure out who her real enemy is, when she's been told, in so many words, exactly who her enemy is in the first chapter.
I love dystopian tales. Well written ones I loathe Myers. Seriously, I read some of the books because students were talking about them all the time I LOVE J. K. Potter and her latest works.
First choice, JK. Second choice, Suzanne Collins. Third choice, anything else including, but not limited to, the back of a cereal box, public restroom walls, and Katie Price's 'autobiographies.' Then, and only then, do I get to Stephanie Meyer.
Rowling. HP may not be great literature, but it's better than the "romance/fantasia posing as dystopian future" Collins has spewed out, and don't get me started on the moronic thinly-veiled Mormon abstinence tract drivel Meyers "created."
None, hunger games and Harry potter were good but haven't seen anything else either author did that was good. Twilight was written badly and promoted abuse so neither.
Oh thanks JAS! Now I can't choose any of these literary twits. There goes Suzanne Collins. Say spoiler alert will ya? (No offense to anyone who enjoys these authors. None are to my reading tastes but I'm hearing from everyone that JK should have been my pick.)
JK Rowling!!! I was so sad when I finished the last book..I could live in that world for forever! (Sad, yes, i know)
I made the mistake of trying to read the Twilight books thinking they would be as good as Harry Potter..one of the worst literary commercial successes I can think of.
I also liked the Collins trilogy but the first book was by far the best and the second and then def. the third felt like they were rushed...
Probably JK, I've already read the other two.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Collins
ReplyDeleteOMG not Suzanne Collins - Jackie Collins
ReplyDeleteIs this serious? Who would choose Stephanie Meyer over JK? I mean seriously, what.
ReplyDeleteJK and I don't mean Just Kidding.

ReplyDeleteI don't like these choices. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
ReplyDeleteI'm in on Jackie Collins!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Collins.
ReplyDeleteWhich one keeps her class ring on during sexy times?
ReplyDeleteJK. I'm not doing Twilight EVER and Hunger Games doesn't really interest me, either. However, I'm a HP fan fo life, yo.
ReplyDeleteI agree with FSP
ReplyDeleteBut Collins wrote Hunger Games, no? Thats my shit too.
JK
ReplyDeleteTeam JK (also a proud member of D.A.)
ReplyDeleteJKR for sure
ReplyDeleteRowling. This isn't even close.

Is there any doubt?
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling.
The other 2 are Rowling knock offs.
I love dystopian tales. Well written ones
ReplyDeleteI loathe Myers. Seriously, I read some of the books because students were talking about them all the time
I LOVE J. K.
Potter and her latest works.
Is that even a real question? JK Rowling is the only author on the list.
ReplyDeleteJK all the way.
ReplyDeleteWell, suicide is painless...

ReplyDeletePutting JK Rowlings impeccable gift for storytelling against these two is disrespectful.

ReplyDeleteWorst question ever. Anyone who doesn't pick Rowling should be immediately killed.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with Francine Pascal - Lila Fowler is my spirit animal.
ReplyDeleteYes! Lila Fowler is way better than that bitch, Jessica Wakefield.
DeleteSweet Valley High : it's like I'm 12 again. Bless!
Delete1 and 3, not Twilight.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm gonna vamp out then it is mandatory the vampires don't sparkle and they feed off a freaking human.
ReplyDeleteWizards and the like, I'm partial to Jim Butcher.
And I don't know who the Collins woman is, no offense.
Rowling. HP may not be great literature, but it's better than the "romance/fantasia posing as dystopian future" Collins has spewed out, and don't get me started on the moronic thinly-veiled Mormon abstinence tract drivel Meyers "created."
ReplyDeleteBleh.
Robin Mckinley for a real author when it comes to vampire stories - check out Sunshine - best vamp book evah
ReplyDeleteBut seriously this post is just to piss people off - everyone knows there's only one author on that list
None, hunger games and Harry potter were good but haven't seen anything else either author did that was good. Twilight was written badly and promoted abuse so neither.
ReplyDeleteJK Rowling!! :)
ReplyDeleteDeath.I don't like any of them. I hate book series, they become repetitive and boring after a while.
ReplyDeleteJKKKKK!!!!!
ReplyDeletelisten im a grown woman and a totall harry potter girl
those books are amazing
Never read Harry Potter or Twilight or Hunger Games, but The Cuckoo's Calling - JK's latest book published under a pseudonym -- was excellent.
ReplyDeleteGrayhare: I enjoyed it too
DeleteThe Casual Vacancy and Cuckoo's Calling were pretty damned good. JK all the way.
ReplyDeleteJK. Dumb question.
ReplyDeleteJK all the way, every time and always.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid question. JK no contest. I would rather reread the entire Harry Potter series than one word of Stephanie Meyers.
ReplyDeleteI don't read little kids books so I choose Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteJK for sure. Collins' last book in the trilogy was so rushed. I wish she could have a do over.
ReplyDelete@worstcompanytoworkfor the story in the Harry Potter books is much more complex and mature than the Twilight series.
Rowling, no contest.
ReplyDeleteJK Rowling. The other two can barely put together a coherent sentence.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks JAS! Now I can't choose any of these literary twits. There goes Suzanne Collins. Say spoiler alert will ya?
ReplyDelete(No offense to anyone who enjoys these authors. None are to my reading tastes but I'm hearing from everyone that JK should have been my pick.)
@worst Wrong. If you've read Stephanie, that's about as juvenile as it gets.
ReplyDeleteJK for me of course, although I will happily read Suzanne Collins and Jackie Collins too!
jk rowling
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling
ReplyDeleteWe should start a book club. I'll be Jennifer Byrnes.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be illiterate.
ReplyDeleteNo contest--JK Rowling
