I mean, there is the obvious reason why, which is that it's about a girl gang that targets predatory men and boys - and of course, horrible pet shops - with a sense of prefeminist vengeance.

    <body><![CDATA[This was decent. Joyce Carol Oates writes in a pretty heavy, overtly emotional style. The character Legs seems a little contrived, and so do portions of the plot. However, it's entirely plausible to let someone like Legs, who seems to be the epitome of individuality and freedom, lead you down a path...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45977221">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Joyce Carol Oates is the Lon Chaney of literature - the writer of a 1,000 voices. She chilled me with the sociopathic journalising of ZOMBIE, delighted with the purposely pompous, sometimes Gothic narrative of THE MYSTERIES OF WINTERTHUN and in Maddie Wirtz, professional stargazer and former girl-ga...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32071609">more...</a>]]></body>

Take that as you must, but I'm happy to see that, unlike <em>The Catcher in the Rye</em>, it holds up reading it with adult eyes.
