Anyone ever notice that all of these terrible vampire romance fantasy sci-fi bullshit novels are always written in the first person? As if it isn't bad enough that we have people that don't fully live in reality as it is, we have women who are now so longing for something other than their love-starved lives with husbands who are both lacking in character and rugged handsomeness (+/-mystery) that they now have to personify themselves in poorly formed female characters with personalities as weak as their brain stems who are supposed to be independent power-houses yet still maintain a sickening sense of vulnerability when faced with anything in possession of a penis. Or a five o'clock shadow. ...or fangs.
Or glittery skin.
I thought that the Twilight saga (yes, I read all four, someone shoot me; there is no greater massochist alive today) was the only book to possess this style. I now see however that Ms. Meyer, though should still be drawn and quartered for gearing such vile, detestable ideas of love and romance toward our young generations, was not actually original at all in her storylines. She copied from very popular adult authors such as Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison and Patricia Briggs. I'm sure there are more, but I have only just started reading these women and suddenly everything clicked as I chewed mercilessly through grisel when I was told I would be eating prime rib.
God, I now know why I stopped taking literary recommendations from people who breathe.
