I was never into the teen series either and never liked contemporary romance novels. As i posted to this thread, when my 21 yo daughter mentioned wanting to read a series of books about vampires, i pooh poohed it and said how stupid, but just casually picked this up at the beach and read it in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it. People who fear their children being adversely influenced by a novel really aren’t very confident of their parenting skills, IMO.

Folks who feed their children literary Ding-Dongs aren’t very discerning, either.
My youngest daughter is 12 - why would I WANT her to read a book about a domineering, abusive male who watches his ‘girlfriend’ sleep in her bedroom - and who is ‘good’ because of it?
I can’t stop my daughter from reading it, but I can make sure she knows how pathetic the characters and the book are!
