On the Beach at the End of the World
This is another Aussie weblog where I have failed to meet the author. Actually, after reading this post, I doubt that my wife would be happy for me to meet the author....
I really enjoyed this comment on the latest Harry Potter:
as i got further and further into what is steadily establishing itself as a young-teen-rather-than-young-children's novel, i wondered about all the little, primary-school-aged kids who go whacky over harry. it's a little like the 'batman begins' action figures; it belittles any text with pretensions to being a deeply brooding, psychological investigation into the darkness inside the heart of man when you find a well-made plastic representation of the main character has excaped from a kid's happy meal and is skittering around your feet at the food court. there is a disjoint b/w the complexity of the text and its toy market, i think.
