I remember that Russell Lee books were banned by my principal back when I was in primary school.
The logic went that it was a 'poor influence' on children.

Mr Kiasu is being forgotten, many of the younger generation does not even know what it is.As for TSGS, it will become a classic taught in school only if studying of supernatural is added as a core subject in schools.

It is considered by some to be a "poor influence", as it spreads about messages about the existance and scariness of the supernatural which these people do not believe in.In short, they believe the whole book to be crap.

Russell Lee once came down to my school, fedora hat, mask and all. I told him to remove his mask, he said we would freak out...
Its either he's for real or he looks like shite
Wait, dont forget the Bookworm gang. I swear some of the stories are plagiarized fromn some other books.
