Christians have such a problem with the Harry Potter books and films? It DOES NOT promote witchcraft. Alice in woderland is worse for children than harry potter. There is no need to burn the books based on the fact its spreading witchcraft....cause its not.

What do you think about complete idiot's guides? The statement "Complete Idiot's guide" is ambiguous to me. The guide can belong both to the reader and to the author. So, who are the idiots: the ones who buy those guides or the ones who write them, or both? Is it fair to call someone an idiot for seeking knowledge by reading an idiot's guide. Why does society tolerate so much verbal violence on the part of knowledgeable persons against persons who are ignorant about something. Why does culture accept sadistic styles of humour in its treatment of persons who lack knowledge even when they are trying to obtain it?

Does anyone know where I can get the three little pigs story from the wolves point of view? Post a link or the story it self.

Or anyother tale for that matter from a different characters point of view. For example....

Instead of Cinderella being told by her. It gets told by the god mother.

A link to the story itself would be really heplful

Please & Thank U!

This is hard because I don't even know the author.

The book is about a woman who lives on an estate and hires a young boy to tend to the grounds. He lives above the garage. Then a baby is left on the doorstep and the boy finds it. He does not tell the woman at first. He cares for the baby. Eventually the woman finds out. In the end, they find the mother and he has to give the baby back to her. It is a really good book. Please help!

Can you write a book if your not a good writer? I'm horrible with spelling, grammar, and punctuation but I stories that would make great books so can you write a book and then have someone fix all the stuff and make it make sense in a grammar type of sense but yet you still get credit for being the author?

Dry, caked blood envelops Veronica’s forehead. Her body shudders in sudden spasms, sending pain shooting up her fresh wounds, from which blood still trickles. She clutches her wrinkled fur jacket close to her freezing body as the glacial coldness pries at her. The chattering of her teeth sounds excruciatingly loud in the pin-drop silence. Her eyes flit from side to side at a rapid pace. They widen to an enormous size as she hears a faint creak outside. Her heart stutters and skips a beat. She waits, her ears straining to pick up the slightest sound, but outside the closet door waits only silence. Her chalk-white face breaks out into a cool sweat as she sees something shadowy nearing the door through the crack at the bottom. She sighs in relief as she sees that it is only a cockroach crawling under the door. She crouches down even lower, hugging herself, unsuccessfully trying to keep herself warm. (continued on the bottom...)

ok #1: i am writing in 2nd person
#2: i appreciate criticism, but please, im only 13. keep that in mind, ok? thanks.

here it is (its a rough draft)

A blinding flash of light. Brakes protested against the pavement. Everything tightened and compressed. Beyond the white flashes was a blur. Metal on metal shrieked. Becoming enclosed in a fiery cage of sparks and flames, bodies flying past. Hitting the pavement with a gory crunch. Then nothing but darkness…
Melody lay on the hot pavement, battered and broken. She opened her eyes groggily - her vision had been mashed into a blurred mess of flashing lights and rushed movement. How much time had gone by? For a moment, she seemed weightless, floating in a state of dream. Reality came crashing down around her suddenly– deafening sounds flooded her ears. Sirens screamed her name all around her, the sour smell of gas, smoke and burning rubber filled her nostrils.

I have noticed there are a lot of poorly written teen books out there lamenting the woes of high school. I think that these books block teens from persuing good literature at a time when the are intellectually capable of reading just about anything. What do you think?

I just read my first Koontz book and really liked it. It was "By the Light of the Moon". So, I didn't know how that fit in in regard to his other books. What is your favorite? How would you rank the one I read compared to his other books?
