[Vygandas Ostrauskis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Neįsivaizduoju, kiek dabar suaugusių žmonių skaito Main Rido knygas, bet mano paauglystės metais jos (taip pat ir Ž. Verno, Dž. F. Kuperio, K Majaus) jaunimo buvo labai mėgstamos, bibliotekoje net eilėje tekdavo palaukti. Kiek prisimenu, skaitė tokias knygas ir suaugusieji.
Manau, kad jaunimui, ypač mažai skaitančiam, verta pradėti nuo nuotykinės literatūros – nejučia ji įtraukia į skaitymą, o po to jau didelė tikimybė, kad sudomins ir rimtoji literatūra.
