    “No I haven't read the books, which is why I said so. I have seen the film with my kids, and read the thread, so I think that gives me a right to an opinion.

    I shall leave you two to massage each others' delicate egos.”

    “I haven't read any of them, but by reputation they are anti-clerical, at the very least, and writers who address children without deference to higher powers and mystical entities deserve a place on the school library shelves.

    Both Harvey and Fu-Chu , if indeed these are two separate people, seem happy to dole out a lot of sweeping judgments without the least bit of reference in justification. Quotes, please, gents!”
