The No-Depth-Perception Awards-- Examples of "lacking" in Modern Authorship

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, commenting on the Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis, has said:

"There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex, I have a big problem with that." (Grossman 2005)

I've never been a fan of the Harry Potter tales, largely because I stake my claim that they don't have any depth to them, as compared to works by C.S. Lewis or Tolkien (though I've never been much of a Tolkien fan either)...  I was happy to find such an easy example of how to portray this concept.  And, to reference something outside my opinion (from Wikipedia on the C.S. Lewis book The Last Battle), obviously "such criticisms are often quickly countered... as they [lipstick and stockings] are not necessarily symbols of female sexual maturity, but more symbols of commercialism and materialism, both of which Lewis, with his close friend JRR Tolkien, saw as evils."
