And this is undoubtedly the real opposition.

Just shows how brainwashed teens are nowadays. (Exceptions are those that are home schooled and have a good relationship with their church).

I don’t know anything about the series—but it’s the #1 on Amazon right now, with almost 2 thousand reviews.
Bring it on, wimps!! Let’s go out and buy the books in droves!
Pro-life message of not, these books seem to be awfully creepy fare that I wouldn’t let my daughter near. And no, I don’t mean creepy as in “It has a vampire in it and vampires are creepy.”
I mean as in relationship creepy:

Not so fast...see the link in post 8.
That fact I was not aware of.
‘”Seriously, folks — don’t burn your copies of the book...”’
That pretty much captures the mind set of the Left here and on similar matters dealing with freedom of expression.
Sieg Heil,Baby Strange!
I’ve never heard of them before...
What is it you object to ???
I could post a website decrying the creepiness of Woody Woodpecker and get people to believe it.
My 17 year-old daughter read the previous books in the series and is almost finished with this one.
She is a deeply committed Christian who helps lead praise and worship at our church. She has a real aversion to things “on the dark side” and surprising wisdom for someone so young — far far far more than her daddy had at that age.
We can strain at this gnat all day, while real evil runs roughshod over our youth culture.
Thanks for that great link. I have no desire to read the series. In general I am disturbed at the popularity of taking what has usually been thought as evil and making it seductive (yeah I know vampires are not real) but there is a deeper message here. We are in this society being asked to accept as viable and affirming choices that those before us had no problem identifying as poison to the soul. If no one thinks teen, children or adult fiction does not play an important role in this they are very naive (sp).
Gotta say, too many modern women are pitifully delicate and downright batty, despite unceasing self serving talk about being independent and having strong self esteem.
In my experience female liberals fall in line very quickly - just reassure them that their right to abortion will always be there (no matter how aged and rancid her sex parts might me), and assure them that their government cheese will be there if the provider in their lives ever wises up and busts out on the next laundry truck.
It’s just for that reason I can’t feel sorry for Elizabeth Edwards - she goes along to get along. If she has no dignity, why should I treat her with dignity?
I wonder what these people said that when they read OF HUMAN BONDAGE, by Somerset Maugham? I have a feeling that these folks don't spend a lot of time reading great literature and they obviously don't want you to do so either.
So that's what happened to Hillary!
I posted the link so y’all could see a review from someone who’s read it. I haven’t, but unless The Point and the folks they cite are liars, this book is bizarrely creepy.
LOL!
