I'm definitely a child of the 80's. I miss my stirrup pants and L.A. Gear sneakers, and wearing clothes like Punky Brewster's.
FitA scared me a lot more than Cujo or any horror novel. I do remember that I thought the title sounded interesting, and I was expecting something a bit more like The Diary of Anne Frank. I read quite of few of Andrews books, and they all seemed to be full of nonconsensual incest. I don't remember how old I was, since I had read a lot of young adult novels when I was in third grade. (I had exhausted the children's library in my town.)
I've never read His Dark Materials, or The Dark Is Rising series. The best thing about Harry Potter is that it was one of the first books to appeal to a broad age range. Before Goblet of Fire came out, I had not heard of the series. Can you believe that? And now, Rowling's books are my main obsession. ^_^
