| Umm.... okay maybe there's no actual sex but lets be honest: vampire books are just one big metaphor. That said I'd let my 11 year old read it- however, the fact that I discovered Anais Nin and Erica Jong's zipless fuck (and Bean :0 ) around 12 and survived may have colored my view. I did move it to YA when I found it cataloged in Children's though.
I liked Twilight well enough but got bored by mid-way through number 2- but I'm old and jaded. I liked Blood and Chocolate just as much as far as the genre goes.
I had no idea Stephanie Meyer was a Mormon! She and Orson Scott Card make it look not quite so wacky. Of course most of what I know about the religion I learned from South Park. |
