Twilight... It haunts me, it will not go away. My life has been damaged by this book in so many ways, it has been shortened by the reading of it.
I gave into the pressures of the universe and read this book, using the pretense of reading it to ensure that it was suitable for my daughter.
Manpoints are at an all time low, equal to my faith in editing, taste, and the populations judgment.
People actually thinking this was a good "book" sums up the worlds problems. This thing is not a book - it was a jumble of worlds with a dash of vampire and a full on load of festering pig crap. I have it mounted above my fireplace, bullet hole in prideful display, as a warning to anyone mentioning this tome of tripe in my presence again.
Wretched at best.
The words "glare" and "scowl" will never be the same for me, I never knew that a single word could be used so much, at least four times on every page. The words, in the end, became like "and" and "the," something that my mind subconsciously slipped over as it had became conditioned to its presence. After awhile it was no longer needed in there at all, as it should have been noted by the author in the forward that "All characters will have a scowl on their face at all times, and any look that they send anyone at all will be a glare. Any other look, or change in expression, will be noted." This would have saved pages and pages of text and trees in the end.
Baseball... Vampires playing baseball...
If all women were like the female protagonist then we would be extinct as a species. A bigger idiot has never blundered themselves onto a page. The darkly sinister, yet glowing in the sun?!?!?, Edward has become a symbol of sex. Why? He has the charisma of Kean and the dialogue of a corpse, well maybe that is what she was trying to do. If women of planet earth are looking for this in a man then I see no reason why they complain about their husbands. Talk to them less is obviously the cure for all matrimonial issues. Look like you are going to rip their throat out when they are angry with you and they will be submissive. Men, this is obviously the way forward. Throw in some glares too! "I'm Dangerous" "Stay away from me" "You smell tasty" is about all he has to say, in general variations of the theme. For someone that has lived that long he is awfully dull.
Dire.
I have never been close to suicide whilst reading a book before, but I was close (sorry tashor close, not there yet.) If I had left a note with just the word "Twilight" on it, the police would have understood.
