Das ist mir Warnung genug, diese Bücher nicht mit mal mit Handschuhen anzufassen:.
The problem – and there's no diplomatic way to say this – is that it's shockingly, tackily, sick-makingly sexist. Weak, inert, prone to falling over, crying and fainting, Bella Swan lives to serve men and suffer. When not cooking and cleaning for her father, she gapes with gratitude whenever Edward saves her from harm and turns to querulous jelly when he's harsh – which is all the time. Edward stalks Bella for her own good, he says, prowling her house while she's asleep and making decisions for her. The series runs on Bella's thraldom to an undead jerk while the warmer character of Jacob Black, her werewolf best friend, lingers hopefully on the edges. It is depressing to read of a young woman who is treated like dirt for four books, yet faithfully worships Edward because of his hilariously clichéd "perfect face".

Und überhaupt: Vampire, die wie Diskokugeln glitzern? WTF?
Da lese ich lieber noch mal meine alten "Anton und der kleine Vampir"-Bücher durch.
