well i can really only agree with you. Haven't ever read to much about scholors opinions, but what you said about it being to popular, and liked by every Tom, **** and Harry and thats why ppl who think of themselves as well read and knowledgable dislike is true. My dad has never read it but already he has refused to read it as he thinks of it as too childish. He keeps calling me narrow minded for rereading it over and over again. He says its not like the Bible, or Shakespeare that contain valuable msges. But its just that its too popular for him to like it.
