quote: What do you mean Kosh, by "way too kidy"? If you mean it didn't have blood and angst and swearing and poinltess violence, then yes, the books are "too kidy". Stories don't actually have to have that stuff though to be good.
What I meant by to kidy was that, was there enough of a story to hold the interest of an adult. Doesn't have to have blood angst, swearing or violence, just keep me interested. Have some depth, a little mystery.
Star wars is kidy for the most part, with the death of Darth Maul being an exception.
Bugs Bunny is a kid thing, but still makes me laugh after all these years. (One bulwit weft)
A lot of people here at the office like the books, but most liked the movie also. I thought it was a little to lite for adults, with some interesting bits.

Well, the fact that many people in your office read and liked them (as well as a lot of people here) shows that they obviously can hold the attention of an adult.
But, again, what do you mean by "adult"? I dislike the idea that at an arbitary age, you are suddenly to "old" for something. You like what you like. They are hardly the biggest books in the world. Read them and find out.
The second is possibly the worst though. It's not bad in any real sense, but it's similar to the first in overall structure. The third one is the best.
By Star Wars, do you mean just episode 1, or the whole thing? I can't really see the death of Maul as being the most "adult" thing of all 5 films.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
