I actually saw a copy of She Who Must Not Be Named's work in the 
local Books-A-Million a couple of months ago.  I sat myself down on 
the floor in the middle of the aisle to read through it and was 
thoroughly revolted.  The writing was hackneyed and I can't imagine 
any child managing to get through the first few paragraphs let alone 
the entire book. I barely managed to read the little I did.  And,no, 
I did not see any parallels to HP at all.  I didn't know her lawyer 
recently dumped her-- how funny!
