Ok, the main guy in the first poster looks a little creepy.

They seriously overdid it with Photoshop in that pic... Too artificial for my taste.

But regarding Twilight - it's one of those "can't stop reading" books, or at least it was for me. Of course, it is slightly more appealing to the female demographic. I suspect that 14 year old girls will be all over this one. And the occasional 24 year old like me as well

It's about as similar to Buffy as any vampire movie is, meaning it has vampires in it Never had anything to do with LJ Smith's Vampire Diaries so no comment there.

I'm talking about a popular (at least beautiful) school girl falling in love with a vampire (a student?)/a triangle with two vampires (one good, the other evil-or darker)/etc. I'm telling this because I always heard by die hard fan that Meyer is sooo original (btw most of vampire stories are not original anymore, it all about atmosphere now) and by 13-16 years old girls that this is the best book ever made, same thing for Vampire Diaries. I didn't read Meyer series, I don't tell I won't read it and like it, my opinion is so low that it could only get better...

I suppose that this really has become quite a popular theme nowadays. Vampires or hobbits, it's all about escapism, isn't it though. Seeing as how I live in a country with a 17% inflation (and rising), a surreal book is an always welcome distraction

As far as originality is concerned, I am probably not qualified enough to judge that since I haven't really read too many books belonging to this genre. Vampires aside, the main romance did contain some good old clichés, though
