For Ella Enchanted- they said "if you loved harry potter you will love this". its stupid to compare harry potter and jkr with others.

well I have to disagree
I think that it is okay to say
"if you love harry potter you'll love this" I have read many books that say that and loved them.
but this is not okay
"the next harry potter!"
"the new JKR!"
there is never going to be a next harry potter!
just like there is never going to be anotehr lord of the rings!

LoTR is a very hard book to follow same as trying to be the next JKR

tis impossible. peopel should not try. they should do there own thing. people will love it for what it is. they don't care if some editor or newspaper writer thinks it is as good as LotR!

To me their opinion doesnt count, obviously if they think anything is as good as LoTR or HP then they obviously cant be that edumcated
