I'm not a fan of McCaffery, and I've never read Jeremy Thatcher, but even I could pick out the places he stole was strongly inspired by them, and other authors. It is still frustrating to me that there was so much hoopla over him but very little about how derivative his work is, while that Harvard girl got in so much trouble for, to me, what looked like something very similar.

I'd be jealous he was published so young if, you know, it was good writing. Since it's not, I'm just disgusted by what passes for publishable material.
