Ah, that sucks. A friend recommended Twilight to me in much the same way, and my reaction was pretty much the same as yours.

Well, best to get something out of it. XD These books do nicely illustrate How to Not Write YA, don't they?

And thank you very much! I'm glad you like the sporkings so much. ^_^ I'm looking forward to Chosen as well. That was about when I went from being irritated with the series to having my jaw drop and go "Whaaaaa?"
