The Cherokee blood and Mark do sort of fit in to the climax, but not so much as to warrant the amount of attention they receive.
And your example of a conversation was far more interesting than anything said in the book. :)
There's one reason this got published - to ride the coattails of Twilight. That's why the Cast ladies' publisher told them to write it in the first place.
Yes, and in the worst possible way. I'll be ranting about it in a few chapters.
That would be interesting, but it's all made flat and worthless here. Apparently fledglings are perfectly able to leave on weekends, but most of their parents are just meanies who reject their children for being vampires. And you're right, the cult/brainwashing idea would be much, much better, especially coupled with the idea that the vampires don't consider fledglings real and expect other fledglings to ignore the deaths of their peers.
Once again, Zoey starts gushing over how fascinating this is, compared to her reading list at her old high school, which apparently included Great Expectations. Ten bucks says that Kristen didn't like that book when she was in school.
Everyone gushing about someone knowing when the Titanic sunk is a major insult to everyone's intelligence. Why is it such a big deal? Are EVERYONE in the class that dumb? I sort of understand the teacher's reaction for being glad that somebody knows an answer for a change. A lot of teenagers don't know stuff because they just don't give a crap, but seriously... that has nothing to do with the class so aforementioned gushing is stupid.
And, oh look! She knows only because one James Cameron made a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Hurrr.... *rolls eyes* History nerd she is not.
Oh, so not all celebrities/talented people were vampires vampyres, only the ones who produced something the Suethors deem to be of quality. That's nice.
You know I already see the appeal of these books. It's wish-fulfillment. Being a vampire guarantees you'll be gorgeous, you get superpowers, and you get to go to a Hogwarts-esque school that's far superior to any regular school.
