whatever she had was lost in the next books, as they got more and more idiotic. *nods* I wish she had just left it at Twilight, which, I have to admit, I actually loved when I first read it (what was that, three years ago?). And I really identified with Bella and her various character traits, insecurities, (even her birthday, lol), etc. Then Meyer wrote the rest of the series and they became so awful that I have a distaste for all of it. :\
And that's a really good point about all the supernaturally-themed books out there - the men are usually protective and very devoted, their love is pure and unwavering despite their 'condition,' and so on. There's also the concept of fixing someone, in a way - ie: loving him despite he's a monster and therefore making him 'better.' Those are generally pretty powerful ideas for most women, even if they can only ever be fantasy.
