Comparing books.

Comparing books is something I do and don't get. I get why some comparisons are made between books, but I find that some can be really strange.

One example of the strange ones would be comparing Harry Potter to Twilight. They have nothing in common, so why compare them. Harry Potter actually has a story, it creates its own world. Where Meyer can't write to save her life. It's just that simple. But I just don't get the idea behind this one at all. Harry Potter and Twilight have two completely different plot lines, two completely different stories. I just don't get it, is all.

Getting back on the HP band wagon here, I can see why some parts, elements of the books will be compared to those in Lord of the Rings. Like Gollum and Dobby and all that. But really, they too are two completely different books. Each author as a different way of depicting things, so there really is no point in comparing. Sure, there are going to be some similarities between the two, there are going to be a lot of similarities between a lot of books. You can't expect a book to be truly on it's own these days. To be out of comparison. At least one person in the world is going to find a way to compare one book to the other even if it has nothing to do with the other. I guess its just how life is going to go these days.

But yeah, that's just my opinion though. I can see it sometimes, but some comparisons are pointless. But I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to bother with it anymore.
