Shaun Hines s_hines — I like that she tries to diversify the characters in these books, but sometimes I feel like they're kind of hitting you over the head with it. In one of the first chapters, when Jack and Damien are being reintroduced, she says something like "They're gay. Hello. It happens. More often than you might think" (paraphrased, because I don't have the book with me). First off, no reader wants to feel like they're being verbally abused for possibly having an issue with two characters in a book being gay. I, for one, am perfectly fine with it, and I don't want to feel like the author is attacking me for not accepting the boys' gayness when I have been accepting of it since book 1. Also, the characters may be diverse in background, but they're all so stereotypical. Kramisha, the token black girl, speaks with horrible grammar (even though she becomes poet laureate... okay?). Stevie Rae has always been the country girl. Jack seems to do a lot of squealing, and at one point Damien says something about wanting someone's new blue sweater from Saks if she dies (i forget whose it was). Enough with all the stereotypes already, please give us something new for a change! And no, I don't just mean Aphrodite, the rich bitch, turning all soft and mushy... yawn, so over that. Another thing I don't like is all the pop culture references. This has been going on throughout the series. I don't know if this is just me, but I don't quite see how the books got published with so many of the pop culture references. Sure, they're great now, and everyone's buying the books to read them, but in a few years nobody will have a clue what she's talking about anymore. This is just something that's shocked me ever since I first saw it in book 1. All this (and more) aside, yes, I do enjoy reading the books and will probably continue to do so as long as they keep being written. I just hope something new and exciting happens soon...
