Oh, Stephenie Meyer, when will you learn that ripping off other people's ideas for your own is not nice? TMZ reports that a woman named Jordan Scott is looking to sue the Twilight author because the last book in the series, Breaking Dawn, is extremely similar to her own book The Nocturne.
Scott's lawyers have sent a highly entertaining letter to the publishers of Breaking Dawn, which shows, in ridiculous detail, the exact similarities between the two books. TMZ has the full letter, so please, enoy! She claims that her book was published two years before Meyer's book, and that most of the scenes are almost identical.
Would you like some examples? Oh good: 1) Both books have a wedding scene. 2) Both books have a sex on the beach scene. 3) Both have unborn babies that seem to be hurting their mother in the womb. 4) Both have characters that refer to their significant other as "love."
What you think I'm kidding about that last part? Why would even need to make stuff up when the reality is so much more entertaining?
I don't think that Stephenie Meyer intentionally ripped anyone off; that's just the nature of vampire novels. I've read a lot of vampire novels. Like a lot. Like I've been reading them before they were cool, so I can say truthfully say this: all the books are the same! Yes, there are different characters and like an engagement instead of a wedding, but they all tell the same basic story. And if she did rip of Jordan Scott, congrats Jordan! Everyone who has read Twilight or seen the movie or plans to see New Moon and Eclipse will now read your book.
