scene - my room, huntington beach, ca, time irrelevant
so. the host. i dug it. better than i thought i would. body snatching aside, i thought the premise was fairly unique (although i'm not a big sci-fi reader, so i could be wrong), and it was far better written than the twilight series. don't hate. i couldn't put them down either. but that was DESPITE being poorly written, and my distaste for bella. what can i say? i'm a vampire fiction lover. and then there was jacob....i digress. i'm curious, did anyone else find it ironic that this 'adult' novel of meyer's was more suited (as in 'cleaner') to the teenage girl target market, than the books written for the demographic?

Don't care if someone slashes my tires for this:
Stephanie Meyer's writing makes my angsty 9th grade poetry sound adult.
Having just finished reading Jack Vance's Tales of the Dying Earth I lacked for something to read and lo there on the night stand a tome of a book (anyone who knows me knows I don't judge books by their cover but by the page count)! Just the thing, I thought, to sate my book lust.
Imagine my chagrin when I realized that it was more of the Young Adult vampire fan-fiction that the publishing houses have been vomiting lately.
Sigh, what could I expect from Cindy's side of the bed?
