I don't even think it's that good. I'd call it mediocre.

I agree completely, terrible pacing issues and the eagles resolving everything is fucking lame.

Probably one of the best..

2001 a space odyssey, great gatsby, hemingway, camus, bradbury, vonnegut are pretty cool

People on here just think it makes them superior to criticize something that is popular. So what if it has a unique structural style, people read it because of the magical world and characters which it evokes.

You're an idiot

I agree, it is always wrong to dislike things that are popular, and means there is something wrong with you.

>> No.3892788

Not at all what I was saying.

But it's what you meant, and you know it.

This line of thinking can only come from a serious inferiority complex.

>> No.3892809

>>3892793
No its not. Typical 4chan response on your part, doesn't even make sense. I dislike lots of things that are popular. It's just that if that dislike is coming purely from a need to disparrrage something in order to place yourself above it it cannot be considered fair criticism.

>> No.3892811

>>3892809
And you only think people do that when they dislike a popular thing that you like.

>> No.3892819

>>3892809
Whenever I say anything remotely negative about like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or something some boneheaded presumptuous piece of shit like you comes into the thread and complains about how I think I'm superior to everyone who likes the book when in reality I don't give a single shit about them and what books they like. Why can't you guys just shut the fuck up?

>> No.3892822

>>3892811
Nah, that's what people on /lit/ do and 4chan in general. It's all about ego and image, no substance or soul.

>> No.3892824

Again, not even coming up with a decent argument, just swearing in attempt at one-upmanship. You do know its possible to respectfully disagree about something sans antagonism, don't you?
