      Cuz the hype around the story/character is silly. I've never seen a bunch of grown men and women act that way over a children's book.

        I'm pretty sure it's mainly kids and teens that are as into it as you're thinking though. I didn't see that many adults in the line at the bookstore. Most of them were with their kids. It's like all those other obsessions that people have: star wars, lord of the rings, etc. And honestly, I'd love to be J.K. Rowling right now. She's the first billionaire that got rich writing books, and if she thought she was making money before... well look at her now.

          Jenise = adult

          Jenise @ book store waiting in line with mother who is also an adult

          That means adults are obsessed with the book.

            I didn't say there AREN'T adults that like the book. I said it's MOSTLY children and teens. And I've been waiting to see what happens at the end of this series since I started reading it about 9 years ago, so I don't really give a shit what people think of me
