I mean...we all know what happens in the classics, usually before we read them, but we read them anyway because they are great books...

That's true. Take Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Not a classic yet, but most who read know the inevitable end. People read it, however, for the experience and the unique writing style.

Still though; there's no reason to ruin other people's fun, whether you think the books are well written or not.

1. assaulting people in line, with eggs, is a crime.

2. smashing a PS3 in front of others IS FUNNY.

big difference...

If they were poorly written I highly doubt it would be the most popular book series in the world.

Hahahaha...yeah, because popular things are always high quality. The NY Times best seller list is a joke, almost never a decent book on it.

I've read a couple of them, the first and one in the middle. Compared to several other children's books, they aren't very well written. I guess I was harsh to say poorly written... how about mediocre.
