I think it could have been sold better LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 09:35:07 PM
I mean, it's not like there aren't predators that don't use similar methods. Meyer just sold the concept HORRIBLY.

As I don't believe we've actually had a review of this yet... Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Legolas - 14/02/2010 04:08:51 PM 1384 Views
I think the series is codswallop...and that it DID have potential LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 04:59:56 PM 768 Views
As I said, the second book is better in some regards thanks to that. Legolas - 14/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 848 Views
I normally would agree with you LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 06:05:36 PM 699 Views
Well, there are a few books she explicitly references and cites as inspiration. Legolas - 14/02/2010 07:15:36 PM 827 Views

Re: I'm going to be very unkind and possibly factually wrong here, since it has been a while. Danae al'Thor - 14/02/2010 05:52:52 PM 766 Views
Yeah, absolutely true (spoilers). Legolas - 14/02/2010 06:14:58 PM 765 Views
maybe not anti-feminist... LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 06:21:44 PM 848 Views
Re: I think it gets labelled antifeminist because, well, it's Bella, the heroine, and she's so young Danae al'Thor - 14/02/2010 06:26:37 PM 935 Views
I love your point about the other "Strong women" LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 06:43:05 PM 741 Views
Re: What is LDS? *NM* Danae al'Thor - 14/02/2010 06:44:36 PM 297 Views
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (i.e. Mormons). *NM* Legolas - 14/02/2010 06:46:15 PM 302 Views
Probably, but that doesn't make them right. Legolas - 14/02/2010 07:11:19 PM 902 Views

Vampires should be tragic at best monsters at worst random thoughts - 15/02/2010 04:58:15 PM 699 Views
I thought that was strange too LadyLorraine - 15/02/2010 09:19:26 PM 707 Views
I think I would rather just eat people then be stuck in high school forever random thoughts - 16/02/2010 09:22:07 PM 732 Views
You just had to do it, didn't you? *possible spoiler* rebelaessedai - 15/02/2010 01:57:29 AM 1037 Views
yes *spoilers* LadyLorraine - 15/02/2010 02:02:27 AM 778 Views
You haven't even read that book! *NM* Legolas - 15/02/2010 10:50:49 AM 288 Views
I've read more about it than I've cared to. *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/02/2010 09:20:07 PM 276 Views
Yeah. It's one of those things that sound worse out of context than they are in the book itself... Legolas - 15/02/2010 10:57:47 AM 748 Views

Great way to label this series... Mats Gambling Buddy - 26/02/2010 07:40:47 PM 812 Views
Yes, it's amazing how shocking stuff she can get away with while still making it fluff. *NM* Legolas - 26/02/2010 08:22:13 PM 295 Views
I read a lot of PNR (paranormal romance for you book snobs out there) and thus have read these too. PhotoJim - 15/02/2010 09:55:54 PM 726 Views
I totally agree about book four. Legolas - 15/02/2010 10:02:43 PM 658 Views
