Now, don't get me wrong, I think Stephenie Meyer is a great storyteller and I read the whole Twilight Saga and I became engrossed in each one of them.

However, as I'm reading other vampire books that were published before the first Twilight book, I'm starting to see a lot of similarities. Now, I know the vampire genre isn't exactly new and it's hard to keep something relatively fresh BUT it seems to me that she copied and pasted a lot of existing ideas from such books and put her own little tiny spin on it and called it her own.

I just find it a little annoying. I believe she's lucky for her novels to stand out as opposed to the novels that are in the same category because it's a tough genre to compete in but I just think it's a little bit... uncool.

Thoughts?
 
stephenie meyer killed whatever dignity vampires still had.

stephanie meyer is the reason count Dracula is rolling in his grave
 
The reason Twilight is so famous is because of it's themes of forbidden love. Any horror or violence that occurs is very much secondary to the plot.

Personally, I think the series could have been a lot better.
 
OMG! You are right I also found similarities! My daughter is crazy about the Twilight saga and I try to tell her that I think the ideas have been "borrowed" from other books but she will not accept this fact, she is in complete denial. Oh well, you and I know the truth.
 
yeah, i never liked twilight. i thought it to be the most annoying book in the world. and her characters are so perfect that it drives me insane! everyone knows that NO ONE (even vampires) can be perfect.
