She certainly displays a complete lack of any understanding of the book, and so one can only assume that she has never read it. In which case, she only makes herself look rather silly by describing a book that she has never read as absolute rubbish.
But, given that this is the second time in the space of a month that she has gone out of the way to rubbish the book on television, I do wonder whether she has some personal reason for disliking it so much. Perhaps she was attacked by a rare first edition in her childhood. <http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/smilies/biggrin.gif>

I don't know,
Sauce, in my years teaching university I was given many a paper which suggested the writers had never read the book. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I think it's all a rather clever marketing ploy, likely for the movie. You know, bad publicity is better than no publicity at all. Baiting fans and all to get a reaction. etc. etc. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
