.. You must be slightly retarded to put Philip Pullman in the same secret as the .. freaking authors of Eragon and Twilight. And Jonathan Stroud is leaps and bounds more brilliant than the Eragon dude.

Eragon is pretty cliche and terrible, but likable.

But His Dark Materials is a classic series for a reason. And Jonathan Stroud is an excellent comic writer; he practically embodies tongue in cheek, and his writing is smart.

Better than Harry Potter? Who cares. Besides - on what basis are you comparing them? Style? Content? Characters? What? An off the cuff remark about "which is better" doesn't take into consideration the different levels these authors are working in. If you haven't read any of them, give them a chance. I hate the "X > HARRY POTTER BLAH BLAH" argument - it's just dumb and I don't like it. The works are just plain different, not any better or worse than the other.

.. although Eragon remains just plain terrible. Paolini WISHES he was Tolkien. And I can't speak for Twilight, but eh.

(This is coming from a huge, huge, huge Harry Potter fan, by the way.)
