I will just say this right now: Twilight is a scourge on man kind.
Why? You're probably asking. Well, other then the multi-million dollar cinematic spree that is happening this month for Breaking Dawn part one, Twilight is the bane of all evil.
Sure, there were some vampire-forbidden-love books that came out before Twilight. But trust me, just a few short years ago, you would not walk in to your local Barnes and Nobles and find a whole section dedicated to "Teen Paranormal Romance."
Bella and Edward and Jacob. The perfect love triangle all meshed together with Christian themes. You disagree? Stephanie Meyer is Mormon.
The best description of these books is the authors wet dream. There is nothing tangible about the characters, no sustainable reality. Edward is made of pure marble and Jacob can turn into a furry dog. Bella has no self preservation insticnts and for some reason vampires can be vegetarian.
Give me Anne Rice any day. I'd rather work my way through The Vampire: Lestat" then listen to a teenage girl complain about where her mass murdering boyfriend went.
I'm not bashing the whole paranormal section here. But just most of it.
