I'd say read City of Bones and ask yourself how similar it is to Harry Potter/StarWars and Mary Sue wishfullment porn. I got it from the library and frankly it has similar problems to her fanfic.
It can also be argued she was stealing livelyhood from the author she ripped off in the endless Draco tales (I forget the author's name but the salient point was that she was a published author and several pages of her work was used almost word for word.
On the other hand, I personally don't run to the media and decry her as a plagarist either - I jus give my honest opinion of her books, which is that they aren't very good and highly derivative. WHich, when you read City of Bones, isn't me being wanky for the sake of it.
