You allow your children to read things out entertainment? Wow the exact opposite of my parents. I was forced to read the National Review and the Economist at an age before 11. I remember trying to read The Wind in the Williows as a youngster and the book being taken from me. By the age of 17 I had read Atlas Shrugged, The Road to Serfdom, Freedom to Choose, The Foutainhead, The Gulag Archipelago, Home to Catalongia, Constitution of Liberty, Capitalism and Freedom, The Origins of Totalitntarienms and many others. Books of fiction outside of school were discouraged in my household.

BKB and I are hip.... LOL... I don't care what my kids read, as long as they are reading (and comprehending.) I really like the fact that she can openly discuss and recognize authors she likes and dislikes... I adopted this philosophy from my mother-in-law ((and I wanted my daughter to be able to read her grandma's books (fictional) before heading off to college.))

Sounds like a series my wife would read ...

I have.

On topic, I had to go look this up to know what the hell it was about. It's some young adult series. Some teenage bimbo falls in love with a vampire and they are off to fun and erotic adventures? Been done before and probably much better. The Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton spring to mind. Better yet, they aren't "sex and death" stories, the diet version, like these YA books most likely are.

The series is promoted as YA but just like the Harry Potter series, they are being promoted to the adult genre as well. I shared the books with some co-workers (male and female) and most of them have agreed that the first book is very "slow" but after that they are pretty interesting. One girl (who doesn't normally read the paranormal type books) was hooked after the second book.

LOVE the Anita Blake series as well as the Merry series by Laurell.

That's quite disturbing actually.
