I absolutely LOVE those books!!! I'm totally head over heels for Edward. I can't wait 'til Midnight Sun comes out, but I'm a little leery about the movie... I don't want to put an actual face to the characters....

Out of curiosity, what's so appealing about doing it with a popsicle?

Ann Rice Vampire Chronicals are trashy  
 Dean Koontz generic fill in the character names and setting plots are trashy  
 And yes even Harry Potter books despite my hate for them are trashy  

 Twilight is something my little sister could write in three weeks in her freshman English course. I'm pretty sure relegating it to fanfiction isn't sever enough becasue those stories probably have rising and falling action and some actually plot twist. The book might as well be transparent. I am ashamed that this women actually has a degree in English.


I wonder if she isn't just a complete and total genius...if she knew that these books were the worst things ever written and just banged them out in a week's time so that she could get a nice retirement cottage on Maui.


Hey I'm not saying I wouldn't stoop that low. I was thinking about capitalizing on the whole Vampire trend myself. But I would sincerely hope someone would call me on it. Then after I had made millions I would admit I did it for the money. Selling your soul eh?

heh, that's been my plan ever since I finished these books. If I can figure out exactly what about them makes them so appealing to the squealing masses, I figure I can publish books that are just as poorly-written and shallow and use them to make my fortune...and then live a life of leisure while writing novels with depth and intrigue.

I think what it is is that the plot is not always terribly misdirected, I mean if I had set down with that bitch and written it for her it would have been interesting. Basically she took what would have been an interesting plot and gave the readers everything they wanted and only enough plot twist to fill writing 4 books. I found it strikingly similar to and Disney Princess stories.


I can't wait 'til Midnight Sun comes out, but I'm a little leery about the movie..

NOOOOOOOOO that bitch. Is this shit real? There is a fifth one?

Except Disney Princess stories actually have some sort of moral to them. This? Really had none, except "it's better to get knocked up and vampirized at 18 and just die right then than to get OLD."

Also, Midnight Sun actually looks like it might be interesting...supposedly, it's from Edward's perspective, and the whole first chapter is about how he wants to kill Bella (always a positive thing, imo).

To each her own! Some of as love said popsicle if you don't, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT neither do the lovers! What's the point! Lovers will be lovers and haters will be haters. I'm not preaching to you about how great the books are so don't preach to me about how the books aren't good!

Hey I like that moral! Well I was always disappointed the Dorian Gray couldn't live with himself when he got what I wanted. But maybe she could have added some kind of moral about Bella being a bitch and playing with Jacobs emotions instead of excusing it later.

So this next book is flashbacks? Or it starts from the begining of the story and covers his prospective?

So you're into fucking popsicles? You're also into being bruised during sex, stalked and basically treated like a piece of property?

Wow. And I thought I was a sub.

It's the entire series from Edward's perspective. Of course, it only looks really entertaining in the beginning...once he turns into a self-pitying douche, I think I may lose interest.

If you just want to read about how he wants to eat her wishing the whole time you didn't know he wasn't going to she posted the first chapter of midnight sun on her web site.

Oh I know. I've read it. I wish that the entire book would be like that...it's hilarious.

Unfortunately, about halfway through the first book, Bella cuts off his balls, and that's when it gets sad.

Another thing I thought of that sucked (as if there could be more right?) There were a TON of curious things she never addressed in any of the books:

How did they spend time together when she was on her period?

How did all the Cullens avoid eating the idiot that skinned his knee becasue with a group of 350 teens in one place some one is bleeding.

I had one more but I forgot it:<

Anyway I just couldn't believe none of that was addressed. You can avoid Biology on finger prick day but you can't avoid the guy with a bloody nose after gym class.

A lot of people tended to ask those questions in interviews afterwards, and she never really gave real answers.

Hey.  WTF!!! I didn't know the 3 books I saw in the bookstore were part of this "twilight" series.  I guess since the frist 3 books didn't look interesting, I just passed by.  Man.  I tell you what.
