I know, the plot was basically the most typical plot ever, and it also catapulted this whole thing about vampires into the light, so to speak, because since Twilight was published eight of the top ten young adult books are about vampires, and four of those are the Twilight series so...

Haha, the biological error really annoyed me as well, it was so IMPOSSIBLE!!! I figured it out after I watched an episode of Torchwood (you probably won't have seen it, not many people in the US have) and in said episode one of the characters died and pretty quickly figured out the exact dilemma that Edward should have had. It really annoyed me that she went on and on about vampire anatomy and then ignored that basic thing.

Plus, vampires were never supposed to be undead humans who had no blood and therefore drunk other peoples (which is a form of cannibalism BTW) but they were originally a species, not undead humans, but a different species, who were nocturnal and lived on human blood. (which means no vegetarian vampires! Grrrrr)

So yeah, very very very annoying.
