I have a feeling I might come to regret it, but I've started reading the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer. Currently, I've finished New Moon and am half-way through Eclipse.

Technically, the situation is not good. The writing wavers between dreadful, poor, and not-quite-so-bad-if-you-try-not-to-think-about-it. But honestly, it's not the writing that bugs me but the concept/characters.

Ranting ahead. Abandon all hope, ye Twilight fans that enter here )

Oh, one other point. These books are ridiculously, ridiculously sexist. Just the existence of Bella Swan makes Emmeline Pankhurst and Mary Wollstonecraft spin in their respective graves.

Bram Stoker's probably not very happy, either.
