I've read them and while they have their moments, they aren't anything along the lines of great comic genius.

Ihave the first one, it's a little confusing at times, but it does have some very funny moments in it.

I've seen them around and I flipped through one at one time. They're pretty funny in some parts. The names for the characters are really funny!

[FONT=Geneva]I'm sure they have permission to make a book pertaining to Harry Potter, right? They better not be infringing any copyrights on JKR, like that person that wrote "Tanya Grotter" and got sued. That's what that person gets for trying to copy JKR![FONT=Geneva] :/

hmmm, i've never heard of them, but now i want to read one! but if you read the full article, I think Nicole Sinclair is a bit messed up. I mean, "the reason the parodys are so popular is becaue these books need to be made fun of" | |

The article mentions a book called "Bored of the Rings" which is fantastically funny, and I'd say that if you're old enough to watch a PG-13 movie, you should read this book. It's not for the young, or the faint of heart, but it is wonderful. I've loaned my copy out so many times that I practically need a new one!
