Twilight.

I deliberately tried to postpone ranting writing about this book to calm down a bit. There is no doubt that the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer has produced in me some strong reactions; suffering mostly, from the way that Meyer pulled all of her characters from her peter pan/princess complex. Of course if I was 16 years old, I wouldn't have minded alot I think, but I know I was reading better stuff when I was 16.
Twilight reads like 'Sweet Valley High' with a vampire/werewolf twist smothered with cheesyness. If you're allergic to 'emo' and anything related to it, I suggest you read some other book. I regret buying it. The 'emoness' from this book puts my blog to shame. The characters are shallow, superficial and predictable. I especially hated how two-dimensial that heroine, Bella, is. Of course that didn't stop me from falling in love with the vampire hero Edward Cullen. I'm sure every girl dreams of being the 'damsel in distress' even once. And besides, I'm biased regarding vampires. That's why i bought the damn book in the first place.
All in all, I still think Anne Rice is the best. Too bad she's gone all 'born-again' on her readers.
