That Vampire Book
The Christian Science Monitor has a great article called That Vampire Book that addresses the controversy regarding Breaking Dawn.
It’s enough to make one wonder who has the courage to become a bestselling author these days. With the ocean of opportunity to vent spleen and disappointment created by the blogosphere, writers have little choice but to continually go nose-to-nose with disgruntled readers. It’s hard for me to believe that such encounters necessarily energize creative people.

Really good article. Although I wish she had read the books before writing it. But my goodness, did anyone else check out the comments? It blew me away, what some people are claiming BD promotes.

Great article…. but the comments turned childish.

Agreed with DancingQueen–loved the article but my first impression was: “Aw, she didn’t read the books.”

Great article, but the comments are ridiculous.

I commented on that article twice (as “Stacie”) and tried to get things back on a civil note, but it was ridiculous. Everyone was just raring for a fight, which is exactly what the writer was trying to make a point about! I give up…

I had no idea that so much was going on about all this! I think everyone should just take a deep breath and remember to be grateful that we are able to have varying choices and preferences and to speak our minds freely. It would be so nice if people could debate, if they feel that need, with respect to others!

I also commented. But I don’t know if anyone read it, since it is the last post on there.
I just felt like some of the fans of Breaking Dawn weren’t very good at expressing themselves in that particular band of comments. They were repeating themselves a lot and I wanted to put my two cents in (well maybe it was more like a dollar’s worth…)
