I'm outside of the Twilight hype, with the exception of knowing what the books and movie are because of the howls of agony from my flist, I've read some sections of the book online, and it reads like the bad fanfic I'd skim, but that's just my opinon.

The poor Vampires, if you want to read purple prose about their Proto-Sparkliness I suggest Anne Rice, if you want to read good Vampire romance, I'd suggest Chelesea Quinn Yarbrough.
