I am currently reading Twilight and it is really one of the most horrible books I have ever laid my eyes upon. The characters are shallow and make no sense, the plot is yet to reveal itself (two thirds into the book…), Meyer completely fails at creating the mood she wants to bring across, and her use of words and description is pathetic. I am not saying this book should be burned. It exists and people like it, fine by me. It simply does not live up to any of my own personal standards and I strongly believe it should never have been published. I would really like to look Meyer’s publisher in the eye and ask them what they were thinking. It was obviously a smart choice, as far as money is concerned, but I am never again going to trust the judgment of a publisher who has accepted THAT pile of utter crap and allowed it to see daylight.
I mean, come on – vampires that sparkle in the sun? What the hell?
The meadow, so spectacular to me at first, paled next to his magnificence.
Seriously…
I will come up with something longer and more coherent as soon as I finish the book and have time to write again. Now I must go and study. And drink a lot of coffee.
