You couldn't make it up.... just found this Amazon reader review while buying a copy of George Orwell's 1984:
While cultural pundits try to convince you that some literature is better than other literature, the truth is that all art is relative to individial tastes. Thus, it doesn't make any sense to think that a novel like this one is really any better than say, Michael Crichton or Stephen King. Aesthetic standards can't be grounded. Thus, don't listen to anyone who tries to distinguish between "serious" works of literature like this one and allegedly "lesser" novels. The distinction is entirely illusory, because no novels are "better" than any others, and the concept of a "great novel" is an intellectual hoax. This book isn't as good as Harry Potter in MY opinion, and no one can refute me. Tastes are relative!
Sadly, it wasn't written by Jade "Hoodie" Goodie
Have a nice weekend people xx

The mind boggles.
I do wonder how many people have clicked the "Did you find this review useful?" button. Is there an option for "Has this review left you questioning the point of anything creative at all?"
Madness.
OBVIOUSLY it depends on *which* HP he's referring to ;)
(I'm joking, don't hurt me!)
