I'll leave The Wizard Of Oz to the gormless and stinky plebs, with their potato chip crumb covered couches and greasy remote controls, who make up the majority of the clinically dim and feral masses out there.

Luck not smarts. 😕

So you do not think somebody who would 'like it' (a book describing the sexual torture and murder of children) might have some issues that need addressing.
People who like this book because it thrills them are no more likely to start murdering themselves than they are after watching American Psycho - or, for that matter, any number of Discovery Channel documentaries.
People who like this book because they feel it helps them make sense of a world where such murderers do, alas, exist, I would expect to be even less likely to become one themselves than the average "normal" human being.
All in all, I'm much more disturbed by the popularity of "Dexter".
