Twilight series!!!

So, my boyfriend decided to buy the book because, hey, why not? And after a few torturous weeks, he just finished it and gave it to me an hour or so ago. I'm just about done.

I have to say it is the most horribly amazing book ever. I love it because it really is so bad. I really can not be sure if she is being sarcastic and satirical or not! I don't think I've laughed so much at a book in my life. I know she said she was going for romantic comedy but that is not why I'm laughing.

I've never read an author who was addicted to saying the same words over, and over, and over, and over... Did she mention his smile was crooked? That he dazzled? Was there enough electricity? Were there enough adverbs?? Damn. And, why, oh why God, did she invoke the name of Faulkner? I know he'd be just sick. That's really the only point I can't really forgive her. Especially since the whole character of Bella is just a thinly veiled Mary Sue of how she either views herself or wishes she was viewed by others and his name was just an excuse to say "ooh! Look at me!" I've read enough internet fiction to know that.

I do love it though. But then again I read terrible fan-fiction for fun. I'm afraid I lump this bit of insanity in the same (but slightly better edited) pile. Can't wait to read the next three!

(I am sorry to be the only one who likes this thing on its demerits.)

ok well. its ok. i read them, but they are definetly not good enough for all the hype.

and i hate Bella. so frickin whiney and annoying.

I nearly bought the first book today but I have some other books to read first and needed to save the money. I found it on amazon before anyone I knew (or knew in this sense) started talking about it. I'm not watching the film until i've read the book. I've had to just avoid looking at the whole thread incase of spoilers lol

I read the fourth, and I read the first chapter of the 5th book on her website


I honestly don't know why I love these books so much.

Its all cliche and boring and there is nothing ORIGINAL in the slightest! But... I love them.

In all seriousness... I think she cast some sort of spell on these books..




But I do think its pretty awesome that she had never read a vampire book before in her life before writing these. That was cool.

do you know how cool my mum is!? she bought the first 3 books on a complete wim yesterday! I had said to her I nearly bought the first one the other week but didn't because I knew I needed to keep my money and she completely forgot I said anything and just bought them cuz they looked good to her gonna read them soon

ahh I agree with DIS.AR.RAY

i have no idea why i love them

the vampire chronicles by anne rice are soo much better but...

i still like twilight

I love* Twilight! =)


* Ok, so by 'love', I really mean 'totally obsessed'! Lol!

me too!

she never read a vampire book in her life before writing that?

THAT explains it...

I think I will reread Twillight again

I absolutely adore those books and I am oh so obssessed with them! You should have seen me the weeks before the final book came out- hee hee.

Bella is definitely whiny and a mary sue, Violinagin D. You're not the only one who thinks so
