Possibly, the fact that a very strong PR vehicle is in place and the publicists 
have been working overtime, has a lot to do with the popularity of the books. 
I'm not implying that there is not merit to them, just that many of the people 
of the world can be whipped into a frenzy, if the correct buttons are pushed, 
and strings pulled.

It is almost sad, that such a fuss HAS been made, as now the books will 
probably fade away rather quickly, where their appeal would surely carry them 
on, were it not for the fad aspect.
