It's a young adult book, not Harry Potter. I found it pretty entertaining for a mindless read, but I have no desire to be into the fandom. It's kind of like reading a crappy celebrity magazine. IMO, books, movies, TV, etc aren't really art to me...they're entertainment. And it doesn't have to be quality for me to enjoy.

Seriously though, I won't see the movie because I'm a bitch who loathes swooning pre-teens. Can't even pretend to tolerate them. Plus, it's probably bad. I'll catch it on DVD.

Well, I don't think that YA automatically = mindless. There're plenty of YA novels that've captured my attention more than adequately. What surprises me is the cult following Twilight has despite the amateurishness of it--and it isn't entertaining! Mindless entertainment is something I can get behind, but this book doesn't deliver either of those for me.

It doesn't automatically mean mindless, but this one I do lump into the mindless category aimed at teenagers. The insane cult following makes me want to NOT like it, actually, but I can't help it, I do. Though actually, the author has written an adult book called The Host that I much preferred. I read that one first.
