In Reply to: "It is commonly called a children's book..." - By whom? You, perhaps? Now THAT's an unbiased source. LOL! posted by Audiophilander on January 29, 2004 at 10:35:19:
You apparently don't get it.The books on sorcerers, little kids fighting dragons, cute monsters, Tooth Fairy, and all that shit are ALL presumably children's, unless proven otherwise.
It is that "proven otherwise" that you are missing.
The burden is on YOU.
On the other hand, only a complete idiot would claim the War and Peace to be in that category - I don't know if you are grasping that difference.

- Object away, the LoTR films & books are neither naive, poorly made, nor, strictly speaking, a children's opus. - Audiophilander 17:14:15 01/29/04 (0)
