Virginia’s stories are so much more believable and compelling. Don’t get me wrong the Twilight series is good but just no way near as good as anything Virginia Andrews wrote.

The movie Moon starring sam rockwell is an excellent example of ignored excellence. http://www.crazygroovycool.blogspot.com/

Nail on head. I couldn’t figure out why twilight was so popular. UNTIL NOW.

And, I feel a lot like Amanda when it comes to Twilight. :D

I re-read the Flowers in the Attic series a few months ago, just to see why I liked them when I was younger. It’s the same feeling I get while reading Twilight. You hit it exactly on the head. The oddly taboo love and all the drama keep me coming back for these guilty pleasures.

After I realized that the stories were the same, almost down to the sentence-level (with new names/nouns substituted as needed), it was all about staring at those peek-a-boo covers and imagining a better plot.

Haven’t read Twilight, but I’ll bet you’ve got the makings of a fun and potentially thought-provoking comparative analysis here.

I’ve wracking my brain for months trying to find an author to compare Meyer to and just couldn’t come up with one. V.C. Andrews is perfect.

I wonder how many Twi-haters were/are die-hard Flower-heads…
