see even that to me, i didnt think they were that similar.
i dont know i think there are a lot of book with a male figure like that and a female figure like that.
Anastasia is that "Mary Sue" character - the kind of bland one that the user can insert themselves into. She's beautiful and doesn't know it, shy and clumsy, everyone likes her, has like 3 people fawning over her but hasn't dated anyone. Very similar to Bella's Character.
Christian is controlling like Edward, etc. Jose is Jacob, Christian's parents are very similar to Carlisle and Esme (though Christian's mom is a doctor, so the roles are switched). Christian's sister is clearly Alice, all bubbly and so on. There's more but those are the obvious ones.
The plots aren't similar, no, because they're different stories, but I don't think it's hard to notice the character similarities, especially if you're looking for them.
For what it's worth, I think both series were written like crap, but I still read and enjoyed both.
