annual posting

So it looks like this thing has turned into a yearly blog post.

The book report project ended up being dumped, something more important came up for me (Which when placed in context to writing about Twilight, doesn't take much.) And Jess decided to read like fifty different books at the same time.

In the spirit of the project however I'll go ahead and give at least some idea of how I felt about the book.

It sucked.

Bad writing about an empty character that the reader can basically imagine themselves as and somehow enthralls a hundred year old immortal that shimmers like a Lisa Frank pencil on glitter crack when in direct sunlight apparently makes for a huge popular hit.

Why am I not surprised?

I think it's ok that people can read this thing and enjoy it, there are PLENTY of books that I have read and really enjoyed that were just as bad.

But honestly? All this craze about the characters and actors portraying them? Stupidity is apparently running unchecked in the universe that we currently occupy.

The only way I could really get through the book was to read the text with the mindset that Bella was just a schizophrenic and Edward was the awkward kid at school willing to go along with her ramblings about Vampires because he was already rejected by all the other girls in school.

It actually makes sense if you think about.

Also if you completely ignore the other books written afterwards.

Which I plan on doing......

And I think you should too.
