I could relate to her. <br /><br />It's sad that authors feel it's necessary to bash other authors' books, but I think it comes down to this: those authors were jealous at the all those fan girls that fell in love with Stephanie's characters. There were no fan girls screaming over their characters. ;)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-82222571012983242562011-08-08T08:20:09.189-04:002011-08-08T08:20:09.189-04:00I loved Twilight when I first read it.

Harry is a wonderful role model, and utilizing the strengths of his friends makes him even better in my eyes. If my daughter were going to look up to someone, it should be Hermione. And that animal love stuff in book 4 of Twilight is disturbing. So is the paternal relationship between Bella and the 100-year old guy. <br /><br />Oh no, I've engaged in debate.
