I think of "best seller lists" much like I think of lists made by movie critics. Sometimes they are on the money but sometimes they aren't. I remember back when Siskel and Ebert were both still with us they both gave a thumbs down to "The Never Ending Story" which was based on the book by Michael Ende. Two more movies, a set of cartoons and at least one DVD worth of additional adventures have appeared since then. The problem is that like anyone else a critic literary, film, etc. has their own bias as to what is good and what is bad.
