Some times you make valid points (such as the fact that Chicken, Chicken was an ugly book with little redeeming value) but at other times it just seems petty, like when you go "What." (which you do in nearly every recap and it gets very tiresome after the tenth time) after any plotline that is a little bizarre. They are meant for kids in grade school and middle school. You're obviously at least a late teenager or young adult, so they are probably not going to hold that well as of now.

As for me, I lost interest when I got older but when I was young I loved these books. I could have cared less about plot innaccuracies, unhip parents, or whatnot.

I mean you could probably do the same at Harry Potter. "And here we have Harry's scar being a pyschic link to Voldemort. What."

These books aren't meant to be realistic. R. L. Stine isn't supposed to be the next Shakespeare. But they were still pretty damn fun when I was young.

Sandor, are you really comfortable offering constructive criticism to a blog devoted to childen's [sic] books?

You know I had to read your comment five times to understand what the hell you were saying?[Note 4] Proper english...its your friend.

And when I criticized his site, I wasn't referring to this one in particular but the whole page in general. It just made more sense for me to respond in the most current topic at the time rather than posting in one several weeks earlier.

But you already knew that, right?

Sandor, I apprectiate [sic] your comments, and your regular reading of the blog. However:

Proper english...its your friend.

I think you meant "Proper English...it's your friend."

But you already knew that, right?[Note 5]

You're really comparing one capital letter to that guy's nonsense? What.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. At some point, this name was redacted. It now reads simply as "Anonymous". We've restored the first name but redacted the surname.
  2. Another redacted name that now reads simply as "Anonymous".
  3. Two days later, in fact.
  4. In response to some other user.
  5. An appropriately pedantic response to a pedantic comment.
  6. Troy added an apostrophe to "it's" ⁠(which is the appropriate contraction for "it is").
