I just checked Amazon and the book is Number 10 overall vs. HP and the Halfblood Prince is at Number 2.

HP has been out for months, it sold millions of copies in ONE DAY. Millions of children partied the night it came out. JK Rowling did a reading at a castle. Limbaugh mentions it and it has a blip in sales.

I agree with a previous post. Kids need to be taught social skills about debate and facts. Questions like: How to you prove something in a debate, what are logical fallacies, how do you gracefully deal with someone that disagrees with your opinions, what is the difference between opinion and fact?

But if it is age appropriate, cool. But it is not selling MILLIONS.

This is the first I've heard of it. Can't be selling that well.

I suppose the hysterical Left could counter with something like "There's A War-Mongering Zionist Neo-Con Levy Destroying, Election Stealing, Angry Republican Under the Bed." Oliver Stone could direct the film version. Michael Moore could edit--as usual.
