I suppose I could go to town on the mediocre writing skillz and the Dan Brown/James Patterson-like marketing of these books, but I'm just kinda glad, in this day of video game/movie/tv alternatives, people are still reading, you know? A hollow victory, but a victory, nonetheless.
True, I agree. He'll I have a series of books of this chick who is black vampire slayer who falls in love with a Mexican version of Lestat. Of course the girl is virgin and is attracted this dark broading creature. 5 books I read, and felt like a sucker
after reading it. I mean, I have the Marquis de Sade's Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings, yet I was caught up in Anne Rice lite.
I yearn for the days of Tom Clancy like writing.
