And you think all the teenage girls who have turned this book into a bestseller should have been made to buy Dostoyevski instead? Surely that is up to their parents, not the book selling industry. As for the grown-up audience rather than teenage girls, I find the idea that anyone is in a position to lecture them about which books are "good for them" and which aren't very patronizing and arrogant. Didn't the Nazis try to do the same?
