Although I wasn't compelled to, I read it out of interest and, yeah how shallow, b/c its very popular. Anyhow, I was sad but not shocked to find that the integral theme of the book (now don't laugh...love between a 'vegetarian' vampire and a teenage girl) was motivated largely by lust. In fact, lust is used a recurring theme between the two of main characters. Yet, I'll admit the book was well written, no swearing, held my interest, no likes and not many uhs. She's also very careful to not be outright in her support of lust and other immoral things. Its so subtley written in, that in all honesty I didn't even realize certain bad implications in parts until I read it a second time. However, at least every 2 pg. the girl or boy explains again the attraction they feel towards each other which is purely lustful (alright I know that's an oxymoron). <BR/> My point is this: Our culture is passing lust off as something normal, healthy and even to be desired.
