A lot of its readers are of an age where they forget to cancel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The age of the book is almost gone.
The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.
I've stopped reading about the death of books because it's wasteful and morbid and insulting to the authors, agents, publishers, booksellers, critics, and readers that keep the world community of fiction interesting.
People forget that writers start off being readers. We all love it when we find a terrific read, and we want to let people know about it.
I think readers are always patient. Look at the 'Harry Potter' series. Some have given up on this generation of kids as game and TV addicts, but lots of people spend lots of time patiently reading through hundreds of pages of dense prose. I think reading a comic by comparison is a lot more immediate.
The thing about reading is that if you are hooked, you're not going to stop just because one series is over; you're going to go and find something else.
What I can say that's different in American television... in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.
Cancelled isn't a bad word because it happens everyday.
Young readers have to be entertained. No child reads fiction because they think it's going to make them a better person.
I've never thought about the ages of my readers.
