   Another lesson from her: learn to sue everyone.

   Unfortunately, I didnt like this speech that much. Although is not a bad one, I think she jumps from subject to subject too fast. Then again, since I recently read Steve Jobs’ speech (which I think was awesome), I might be biased…
   I liked the “gay wizard” joke, though.

   We’re being lectured on imagination by a lady who’s committed almost as much outright plagiarism as Dan Brown?

   She still hasn’t learned how to use proper grammar or tie up plot ends in a plausible manner. So I guess one kind of has to say “failure is a good thing” when one is still in the middle of it. (I was going to say “when one is still suffering from it”, but she’s not exactly suffering. If only all of us could mangle language and plotlines so badly and get rewarded so handsomely!)

   As bean mentioned, she has succeeded in getting away with plagiarism…and then sued the crap out of anyone who might try and do the same to her.

   Fascinating indeed…

   It’s unfortunate that I loved the books only to find out she’s a douche-bag…

    I found that while reading her books. They became more and more movie oriented and (sorry to Harry Potter fans) more boring. When the first 3 came out, I read them (literally) 10-15 times…then the fourth one came out. It was alright. That was about when the first movie got produced and suddenly wham. The next book was so written to be acted out in a movie. D: I didn’t like the rest of the series…
