Janet, I have to disagree. She's the second worst. Bella--HANDS DOWN--is worse.
I didn't read one word of Twilight, but somehow I can believe you on this one.
Speaking of Twilight though. I would've thought the uproar about stalking and abuse would've been way more than FSOG. I mean, Twilight is directly aimed at a younger audience ... Or is it simply a case of FSOG coming along and picking up the target instead, leaving Meyers to get away with it?
And gotcha, it's sometimes hard to pick up on sarcasm. I have no idea how she made so much money with her writing - after two chapters, I had to check how old the author was, because it came across to me as written by a teenager for teenagers (except, given the content, it wasn't).
James has one dialogue tag--murmured. If I had read that once more, I'd have puked. And Anna only knew how to move one way--clamber.
I read all 3 books. I will admit the second was much better, so maybe she learned something. Then, I read the third, and it was so predictable, I could have written it for her & better!
As for Twilight. Well, Edward is just a latent homosexual pedophile. Bella is a whiny bitch. The only character worth anything is Jacob, and then Meyer had to go have him "imprint" on the baby????"? WTF? Child molester. After that the Indians weren't actually werewolves, but chose that form and were really shape-shifters. And the sparkling in the sun vampires--Bram Stoker is turning over in his grave. And when I read in the first book about Bella driving a 1952 Chevy truck with seat belts, I threw the book across the room. If you're going to put in something of historical significance, get it right. First, Bella was such a f***ing klutz that she couldn't have driven a car with a column shift and a clutch--any and all 1950s truck. Then, since I happen to be an old car buff and go to lots of antique and vintage car shows, the first trucks that had seat belts were 1956 FORDS!!!! I only read the drivel because I wanted to be familiar with what my students were reading.
I'm PMing you some more disturbing erotica to read.
