JK Rowling is the Tim Buckley of literature

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7349913.stm

Self-absorbed author who writes sub-standard books and makes enough income to live off with them, who gets antsy when her fans try to use her LOL ORIGINAL CHARACTERS without her permission. I read the first HP book about 8 years ago and never saw what was great about it.

The guy does look a bit fruity, though.

I'll agree the first book is dross but from the second book onwards the writing style has improved remarkably and its all rather good.

Perhaps Rowling only wrote the first one but did the plots for the others which were then ghost written or she did a writing course or something but the improvement is remarkable.
