The book I just read is none other than Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.
Of course, you already know that I hate this book with a passion. But now I must give you my reasons why. Let us first start off with the obvious. Bella is a Mary Su. Seriously, no girl like her should have that many guys interested in her. Not only that, but all the characters seem naturally drawn to her even though she appears to be a mopey wet blanket. Let us also not forget the fact that Edwards is too perfect, being both good looking and smart and muscially gifted. Stephanie Meyer also writes the story about nothing except how perfect Edward seems to be in Bella's eyes. Then she tries to squeeze in a horribly crafted plot in the last ninety pages.
In conclusion, Twilight has completely devestated the reputation of vampires. The book also is also filled with Sues and Stus. Not to mention that Bella is just plain annoying. Seriously, I can't believe this a New York Times bestseller.
I watched the first movie with my cousin, when she was into all that... (thank goodness she's not anymore!) I thought the /movie/ was bad, I can't imagine reading the book! Now here's my cousin saying it was the best movie ever! I have no idea how I agreed to watch it, but I did an I was shocked! It is horrible! She ended up falling asleep so I turned it off. She asked me if I had watched it all, the next morning. I couldn't lie, so I told her I hadn't. I gave her my reasons and she listened. She was a little disappointed but not mad. When I found out there were books I was horrified! And to see little 9 or 10 year olds with Twilight t-shits on, it just makes me sick! It is awful that that crap made it into a book, let alone on the big screen!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I have against it is that it portrays evil as good. I mean come on! Vampires are evil, and have always been so. I've never read the books, or watched the movies but from what I've heard and read about them, they are junk. Plus, have you read about how some people are so addicted to them they seem to think Edward is a real person and join clubs and stuff that love him. Why any girl would have a crush on him is hard to figure out, he looks like a kid, or plastic toy. And honestly who wants to be around someone who everyone says is sooo perfect. I'd rather read or watch about a character who struggles and tries to overcome a problem then just being perfect and miserable.
