Thanks Teresa! I think by reading and writing about these books, I’ve discovered I am NOT a hopeless romantic.
And you are absolutely right about forbidden love. Being in love with someone who can kill you is apparently intoxicating. Just look at how many murderers in prison get love letters?

Wow! I enjoyed the books but have to say that your criticism are right on and your reviews hillarious! What Stephanie Myers has going for her story is the forbidden love aspect. It was done in Romeo and Julliet (as you have already alluded to) and more similarly in the X-files. Its nothing new, but will always entrench the teen age girls and the hopeless romantics (me included). It seems that along with good marketing is all you need these days. So much for good writing or likeable, interesting characters.
