Well I am just one person, with one small opinion. But I have read the Potter books, I have seen the movies and I have read all of Rays books. And my order of preference is Rays books, Potter movies and then the Potter books. I thought the movies were much better than the books. I only read the books to get the detail that they could not fit into the movies, but the action was far better in the movies. But Rays books, for me, top even those movies.

She got concessions from Hollywood Stephen King couldn't get, John Grisham couldn't get. She got director approval, for cryingoutloud! Chris Columbo had to fly to London to meet here and discuss his vision for the book. No author in history had that much juice. All the films did was make a multi-millionare a billionaire.
