When I watched the movie, I turned every line spoken by a vampire into a pickup line and it became fun again, but you shouldn't have to play games like that with your literature. Or cinema.

The whole "imprinting on a baby" thing I heard about, that really skeezed me out

I worked at borders when the last book in the 4 part series came out. Manager told me to read it. So I speed read the first two

The only part I liked was the use of blank chapters to represent the passage of time during depression

The rest was so dullllll

I don't know if xmen in the 4th book would have saved me

that's fair. i'm not in the target demo. most of my making fun of it over the years has been because she had a bad editor, frankly. there's a lot of stuff that slipped through that should not have.
