Twilight Porn?
Something for the kiddies, something for mom (checkout, Fred Meyer, Portland, Oregon) (Photo credit: Todd Mecklem)
Let me see if I’ve got this correct. The number one, bestselling book among female readers, is a fixed up Twilight fan fiction, turned into BDSM erotica? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for E L James success with Fifty Shades of Grey, I wish I had thought it up. Yet had I done so, Stephenie Meyer would have sued me, and demanded half-of my royalties.
OK, carry on…

Ha ha! Yeah, I know, right!?!?!!? And it’s $9 something for an ebook version…. Craziness!
From what the wife of a friend tells me, its not very well written to boot! She put it like this: ‘Stephenie Meyer probably doesn’t sue, because, by comparison, these books make her’s look brilliant’.
Which sort of gets back to various points I’ve been trying to make. Dumb luck, and readers whims are far greater factors involved in success, than use of grammar, or poetics – or lack thereof. All a book needs to do is strike a nerve to light a fire, it need not be very good overall in order to accomplish that.
Having read the Twilight series Stephenie Meyer proved that one, LOL!

Can’t say I’ve attempted that!
So what? We have to take vampires one step further? hey, not all women want this book. I don’t.
I just don’t understand it either. The writing is really bad. I can understand why those Twilight books were a hit but this one…*shakes head.
