Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the "real crime" Stephenie Meyer committed was simply not integrating her "vampires" with vampire legends in a purposeful way. If/when an author breaks with tradition and their audience understands the point of their changes (possibly to make something more modern or realistic) they tend not to mind those changes; but when these changes are unexplained (or poorly explained) and serve little/no purpose within the story people get very upset. |
You should skim the book in a book shop, or try the youtube link I posted with that guy reading from the book. Meyer's biggest crim is simply writing an allround bad book. Even her writing style is bad, with "brilliant" phrases like tears were running silently down my cheeks.
