She's also derivative as hell, but children's lit doesn't get real deep reviews, and we were all too busy defending it from Christianity to really notice.

    It's overlooked because he doesn't play a villain, Curry is at his best as the bad guy

    Wait...is Dr. Frank-N-Furter a villain? I always thought he was the hero and Riff-Raff was the villain.

    As a child I read Groosham Grange from Anthony Horowitz, and when I first heard a description of Harry Potter, I thought that they were describing that book from Horowitz. I can't believe no one else noticed. But I also think that most people active in children's literature will have an attitude of "anything that gets a child reading, is a good thing", so they're not that upset about poor quality being popular and they'd rather keep the positive vibe going.
