It really bothers me that everything has to be compared to Twilight or Harry Potter. In the case of Twilight there are much better examples of vampires done right elsewhere. In this case Buffy.

OK, I LOVE this series so much and I think Jace is one of the best, most complex male characters I've read so from a technical point of view, I'm still trying to figure out how Cassie wrote him like that so I can so something similar. Glad you liked the book anyway and I've never seen it compared to Twilight (maybe that's just me) but doesn't EVERYTHING get compared to Twilight these days? *insert eye roll here*

You really don't have to read the book. I could just give you a simple plot outline: girl finds out she's different and special from the rest of the human race, starts falling for a guy who has powers, the end.

Also, Buffy was the most awesome TV show ever.

I am maybe the only person in the world who hasn't read this book, but that's not important. What *is* important is that you mentioned Buffy and gave us a picture of Spike. And with that, dear sir, you have won my heart.

I bet I'm one of the few people that have never read this series. Or any Cassandra Clare books for that matter. I'll get there. I do think that the Twilight comparison gets thrown around WAY to often. Vamps don't equal Twilight.

I am so glad everyone understands where I'm coming from. I do plan to read the other books eventually. So maybe my neutrality towards the first book will change but it'd take a lot and could go either way.

Thank you. I was worried a horde of fans were going to show up at my apartment and beat me senseless. But so far everyone has agreed with me.

I completely feel you on this. I'm not obsessed with and don't plan on being obsessed with this series either.

"I'm not obsessed with it, I don't plan on being obsessed with it, but I can understand the obsession with it."

Fair assessment, sir.

Oh I will keep reading. I might not be reading the sequels right away but I will get around to it.

2012-01-27T07:38:42.231-08:00

I think that's it. My copy has a huge Stephanie Meijer blurb on the front of it. I don't think Twilight is the golden standard that every YA book has to be held up to and am disappointed that that's what's happening.

Oh man I love these books. They just keep getting ...

2012-01-27T07:23:15.748-08:00

Oh man I love these books. They just keep getting better with each one too. Although I have only read thru the third one because cliffhangers give me near heart attacks and I've heard the book four cliffhanger will nearly give me cardiac arrest. So I won't be reading that one until I have the next one to go along with it.

Also, go ahead and poke fun of Simon. Go ahead. And then just keep reading.

2012-01-27T07:21:14.927-08:00

THAT is a huge compliment coming from you! haha I don't understand the Twilight comparison either. I guess because if it's a hot ticket in YA, then it automatically gets that label? Sort of pisses me off. But whatevs.

I am DYING at the Simon comparison. Oh dear lord.
