What is the world coming too?

I have recently joined up with this new book related website called Goodreads. A place where you can keep track of your books, read and write book reviews and join book discussion groups.

So I was bored and skimming through the different message board groups, and there are a ton of them for Twiligyt, and Stephenie Myers, I do not know how many of you have heard of her, but it is all the rage now. And they are books aimed at a teenage audiance.

And than I came across a book called Daylight, and it was a collection of pople that do not apporve of the Twilight series, and well I had mixed feelings about the group, becasue I agreed with them, but not for the same reasons.

What I mean is, well the Twilight books are all about vampires and this mortal woman who is in love with a vampire. So most the people in this group seemed very Christiny and not liking the books becasue of its dark aspects.

Now it goes without saying, that obviously that part of the books I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with is when I was a teenager and in highschool I was reading Anne Rice.

Though I have not read any of Meyers books, from what I have heard of them, well I can say with good confidence that the writing of those books is no where near up to par with the writing of Anne Rice. Whatever you might think of her books and her, she was a good quality, talented skilled writer.

So I am against the popularity of the Twilight books becasue they are cheeseball crap. Becasue they are not good writing. I would say that her skill level of wirting is probably something I would have read in like middle school. But not up to the level of the things I read in highschool.

If I were to attempt to read her books, it would be like my attemtps to read Harry Potter, and I know a lot of older people enjoy the Potter books and I do not mean to put them down, only that you have to admit that the writing level is a bit simplistic becasue the books were written for younger people.

So I am against the populartiy of the Twilight books becasue I think teenagers should be reading things of a higher quality of writing.
