I've heard that's really good. A dystopian novel, right?

I'm sure plenty of stories are kinda copies of Twilight. It's not like Twilight is totally unique.

...Sorry. Couldn't resist.

The concept is really cool, but the characters are kinda bleh. (And I loathe the EPICTRULUV at first sight thing. It's the laziest romantic cliche ever. Yea, it's a pet peeve of mine.)

Is that support for my Twilight jab or for the Anthem book? :leader:

I think for the Twilight jab. Nero doesn't like it too.

I didn't mean that Twilight was unique ... It is hardly the first book about vampires ..!! I just mean that Evernight is a LOT like it with regards to the romance and the general plot ...

Running with Scissors-Augesten Burroughs.

There's an oscar winning or nomintated movie based on it, but I couldn't watch it, because Alec Baldwin does not look like an abusive father with psoriasis and the mother mysteriously looses her accent. =[
