Wow. I tried listening to this one, but an hour in, when Granger started telling Denise that if only she reads his book she will understand how good Twilight is, turned me off completely. The Twilight books are horribly written, full of typos, grammatical and editing errors. Bella is NOT a strong female character, she is weak and waits for her dead boyfriend to tell her what to do. She is a weak, simpering character who most definitely is not a role model for young girls or women at all. I don’t appreciate someone telling me why I don’t like a book, and that my reasons for not liking it are not valid.
I found Granger to be somewhat hypocritical in his statement that ‘it mystifies’ him that some people hate the Harry Potter books without having read them, however, he hated them without reading them. Referred to them as ‘trash’ before he read them himself. And this was just one of the comments this man made that I found quite judgmental and offensive. His shameless promotion of his books was insulting.

Louise, thank you for your feedback. I hope you weren’t too disappointed withSHP078. We were actually thrilled to have Mr. Granger on the show. I have read the first Twilight book, I strongly disliked it, and I don’t plan on reading the other books in the series or John Granger’s book on Twilight either. I completely agree with you about Bella’s weaknesses as a character also.On the other hand, I have read all of Mr. Granger’s books on the Harry Potter series and I thought they were very insightful and thought-provoking. John is a very intelligent guy and has given some really great presentations at the Harry Potter fan conventions that I have attended. It was a pleasure to meet him at Azkatraz 2009 and Infinitus 2010.
