Hype about pleasure

If books have exceeded a certain point on the way to hype it as if you were in the presence of Jehovah's Witnesses criticize the Bible is. So the Twilight Saga - probably the largest mass hysteria since Harry Potter.
The basic idea is not bad: Anne Rice crossed with "Beverly Hills 90210". Unfortunately, what makes the author it is sufficient only readers who goes heartbreak over literary level, because the weaknesses are obvious.
The reader accompanies Bella, who, loaded with cliched adolescent troubles, moves into the residence of her father, when homing in the new environment. As dozens of teen television series zirkelt their daily to the American micro-universe "High School".
At the latest, when she meets the perfect in every respect vampire Edward and one expects the big emotional explosion, resulting in the largest and most amazing literary vacuum for a long time. On 200 pages, in barren dialogues and clichéd descriptions, erötern both their conflict (her great love contra the threat posed by his bloodlust) without the action moves from the spot. It does not go to the author, apparently in possession of a thesaurus, after a moment the words out, and she repeated in endless queues, the same descriptions and sentence fragments over and over again (in the translation as in the original alike). Grotesque, but according to the typical amrikanischen prudery, with all the desire is to avoid any erotic energy. There remains in successive pressed lips and kitsch Roman-declarations of love.
As if she knew of this dramaturgical weakness, the author leads the last third one a mounted acting action part that still fits neither in tone in pace for betuhlichen rhythm of the previous chapter and opens out in a breathless finale second-rate detective series.

It remains a hyped and stretched like chewing gum on four volumes story in which the author fails because to develop complex characters and a continuous tension. The bumpy and clichéd language reinforces the impression that has been ruined here a charming main idea in the implementation.

Whether the often-heard theory is true that you have to have two X chromosomes to appreciate it as a good book remains undiscussed here.
