Sigh. Part of what biased me against Harry Potter was that they changed the name from "Philosopher's Stone" to "Sorcerer's Stone." Being a philosophy major, and having a book have its name changed because the word "philosophy" just isn't "cool" enough to sell a book really ticked me off.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-63121183137053209842010-04-21T08:00:56.125-07:002010-04-21T08:00:56.125-07:00I've added two links in the post.I've added two links in the post.The One True GLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603526778266187315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-38152314306621406332010-04-21T07:56:48.456-07:002010-04-21T07:56:48.456-07:00My only problem with this author's universe (o...My only problem with this author's universe (or series of books) is that it is marketed as 'Quantum Prophecy' in the US and as 'The New Heroes' in the UK...<br /><br />Although I have followed Heroes post season 1, I agree with you to a degree. Eversy subsequent season has a slow build-up followed by a rushed ending/resolution. The consistent criticism of the show (that I share) is that 90% (of everyone on the show) has superpowers.
