Yes. I read the next Anita Blake, for some reason, even though I know that it will be shittier than the last, and then I can read Serious Difficult Prose for a long time after that brain holiday.
BrilliantEraser:
One of my good friends had a good point about the series. Vapid bullshit aside, the love interest is as three-dimensional as a sheet of paper. All of his lines can effectively be replaced with "I love you, but shit, I'm a vampire."
RedLion:
I read about 40 pages of the first book in the series, because one of my close (female) friends was always carrying it around and going on about how great it was. The only thing that kept me reading even that long was sheer incredulity at how god-awful it was.
I had to read an entire Thomas Pynchon novel to get the stupid out of my brain.
imapiratearg:
Everyone on the Nerdfighters website adores these books. They also are rabid Harry Potter fans, but I am not one to judge.

This may be the most retarded thing I've seen you post? Just maybe.

Well to be fair there aren't any good (non-ex) Mormon writers that I can think of. The first two Ender books = the pinnacle of Mormon literary culture? I guess they're too busy raisin' babies to practice writing.
The protagonist's name is BELLA? Holy christ. I'm going to have to get these out just for the larfs now. Although if they're making a movie I'll just wait for that and larf at it. This has to be worse than most of the crap written for Nanowrimo. How many more trees must die?!?
ETA: After reading the summaries of the books on Wikipedia (half our office is out due to power outages, including all the people I type for, so I'm going to have a long lazy nothing day), there is a definite Mormon theme to them. Namely that marriage and family is the most important thing a woman can attain, enough so that she sacrifices her ties with the human world to marry her One True Love and have kids ASAP. And the battle between the "alabaster" vampires and the Native American werewolves. And that the main character doesn't have sex until marriage, because the righteous vampire told her they had to get married first. NRB is right, this is Mormon fiction. (And like no offense to any practicing Mormons who might post here, but like, your church is sort of a cult. Even more than regular Christianity. Oh now I've gone and offended Christians too.)
