The guy also will not sleep with her until marriage, right? Something to be said for that.

Oh, the 110 year old guy? LOL!

The religious/vampire/fantasy thing doesn't bother me in the slightest. But the "romance" here is frankly sick. I'm appalled that young girls find this type of exploitation of a damaged teenager by an older, very powerful man to be romantic.

I call Bella an insipid little twit. I LOL’d while reading some of the passages in the books. My kids did too.

And the guy, lead character, may be 110 yrs old but he looks like a teen boy.

Now THAT is a powerful criticism of the series, I agree!

A little Nabokov, anyone?
