HisChildForever Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 [quote name='BG45' post='1706513' date='Nov 21 2008, 12:08 AM']I've heard so much about her writing from so many different sources. Almost universally, hate it or love it for vampires, people tend to admit it's at the very least, well written. I remember the first time I visited her website, it was apparently after her reversion and suddenly I heard Ave Maria. I started wondering if I had opened my iTunes by accident when I realized I was hearing Ave Maria in a place I expected to read about her vampire novels! (I assume the film Interview with a Vampire doesn't hold a candle to the novel?)[/quote] Her vampires are...humane, for lack of a better word. And the movie was great, but the book is always better. Not to get off topic, of course. Anyway, "Twilight" seems to take this alluring concept of vampires - something romantic in a sinister, dark way - and turns it into a love-puppy romance between teenagers. All the spirituality and intrigue is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing my friend talk about it for months...no. She's been trying to drag me into the books in any way she can, but I won't do it. Also, all you crazy fans posted Facebook statuses about the movie yesterday, and it made me cringe. Edited November 21, 2008 by rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
