My own reaction is more along the lines of "so unfeminist, and yet so entertaining!" My younger sister reads these books and we often rant about how retro they are with respect to sex and gender roles (Meyer is a Mormon and former stay-at-home mom, after all, and sometimes I feel that she can't quite divorce herself from Bella). Anyway, yeah, they are addictive, but problematic, as you say. Just like The Hills.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161082806888156504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-29872275326029141922008-08-13T10:35:00.000-04:002008-08-13T10:35:00.000-04:00Judith: The first couple of novels are more about ...Judith: The first couple of novels are more about romance than vampire stuff, particularly the first. I'm not sure the vampire element will satisfy you, but I recommend trying the fist book, which is the best... maybe borrow from a friend before you commit to purchasing such a hefty book!<BR/><BR/>Anita: Thanks, and sure!

I like well written vampire novels, I'll admit, but as a lesbian I've really found myself wanting to throw up at some of the cheesy heteroromance lines in the ones I've read recently. Is the plotline itself driven by romance, or is that just a sidenote?Avoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421329030289929378noreply@blogger.com
