Why do we bring this up? Because what's happening with Breaking Dawn, the highly-anticipated conclusion to Stephenie Meyer's vampire-romance novel series, sounds similar.
Breaking Dawn sold 1.3 million copies in its first day—an impressive feat for a non-Harry Potter book. But now, disappointed readers have been taking their copies back in protest. In fact, one enterprising former Stephenie Meyer fan, has launched a campaign to return the books on Amazon's message board."
