    Couldn't any chick-lit writer do this to any other chick-lit writer? She stole my idea? Her book has a struggling journalist and a fashionable best friend just trying to make it in the city. My book does too! Her book has embarrassing sex scenes and annoying but charmingly funny parents. My book does too!

    Jerry Seinfeld's wife helped on "Breaking Dawn," too.....her suggestion was to hide vegetables in the vampires, so kids would eat them.

    @Dandy Darkly: it's not a big deal to me. Just the whole angsty-immortal-vampire in love with a mortal high school teen but-they-can't-ever-consummate-their-relationship is far more of a similarity than the Rosemary's Baby thing.

    @DahlELama: Ruining indeed. I read the first 2 books (I know, I know, why???? WHY????) and I would not want any child o' mine reading that garbage. It's practically a roadmap for little girls to fall into the low self esteem camp. "I'm not good enough for my boyfriend, my life is boring when I'm not around him, life isn't worth living since my boyfriend left me, I need a boyfriend to save me from my klutzy old self, when I'm 30 I'll be old and cruddy so please turn me into a vampire so I can be young and pretty forever..." Seriously, do not let your kiddies anywhere near this drivel.
    That said, I'm anxious to get home and start on the third book in the series, and I hate myself for saying that.

    @misslinda: But what about the "erotics of abstinence"? That's kind of a fresh twist in this day & age, no?
    Also, based on hearsay from (adult!) friends who're addicted to Meyer, her books don't name-check Prada, Treo, Valium, Juicy Couture, Captain Morgan, etc. ad infinitum. If you look into any of those super-duper successful tween series (The Clique, Gossip Girl), you'll discover that the characters are hysterically obsessed with fashion/gadget/booze/pill brands and "collectible" painters. V. disturbing.

    @snugbug: There's plenty of literature for teenagers that falls somewhere between Twilight and Gossip Girl. There are even, you know, good books that don't breed materialism and shitty self-esteem.

    Vampire novels are to the 2000s what technosuspense was to the 1980s. Remember when every other novel was about a killer submarine?

    It's not exactly like they're disputing ingenious plot twists here. There's also a passing similarity to Great Expectations.

    @The Cajun Boy: I think I may be the only person that I know that isn't completely disgusted with season two of True Blood. The reason that I haven't seen Twilight is because I'm an adult. I'm sure that may have factored into your decision as well.
