There's so little originality involved, it's staggering. Peeps is a favorite of mine for that exact reason; it takes something overwrought and cliche and makes it somehow new. The dragonrider vs. bad dragonrider book needs a similar treatment, say Scott why not try a fantasy epic? I bet you could actually do something original, unlike those writers who get made into equally lame movies.

I'm only on chapter 3 lol! But reading the Uglies trilogy inspired me to read more of your work...and I can't wait to finish Peeps and read Last Days! Oh, and I love how the "vampires" hold only some characteristics of the fantasy vampires we see in many other stories. It makes the whole situation seem MUCH more realistic, and it rocks!
