There SORT of was in Eclipse...and it's implied a lot in Eclipse after Bella is finally changed...But it kind of made me more awkward than anything else by that point. xD "I get it, you have an awesome sex life with your Greek god of a vampire, DO YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR FREE TIME?!"

Do you mean Breaking Dawn? I KNOW. I think Meyer couldn't think of anything else to fill the spaces in between the plot. The series went from being pristine and PG to a vampire sex riot. It was so weird. Haha. |

I've heard so many bad things about it. I'm trying to summon up the courage to read it because I'm one of those weirdos who LOVES to watch terrible movies.
All I know is that it's a book that my sister, who I don't think has picked up a book for pleasure since Dr Seuss 17-something years ago, read. For that, I'm going to see what the fuss is all about.
I'm not expecting much. I like my vampires to be evil, not sparkly.

^Those were pretty much my reactions. And I have the bad luck of having a Twihard for a mother. For a long time the only sort of bonding she wanted with me was Twilight-related. I resisted long enough and eventually the craze blew over, but I'll always secretly judge a little bit that, despite the hundreds and hundreds of books I've brought into the house in my lifetime, Twilight was the ONLY think she'd pick up.

"I'm nine years old and setting myself up for disappointment!"This is the most accurate post ever.

I was like "I'm uncomfortable with your sex life, since this is all through your perspective...>_> Stop it, Bella." |

Today I saw a copy of Jane Eyre with a cover designed to look like the Twilight covers. It made me want to cry and throw the book across the room. But I guess if it gets Twihards to read Jane Eyre, then it's acceptable, right?

So many Potterheads (let’s be honest, all Twilight haters are Potterheads) like to highlight moments of the book that are ridiculous, but guess what? They are supposed to be. It’s ridiculous because Stephanie Meyer wanted it to be Um... hi there? I dislike Twilight and Harry Potter about equally. The two are far from mutually exclusive. If you noticed, I am in no way saying that I think Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Honestly, I think it’s ridiculous the two even are compared to each other. They are in a completely different genre from each other. Twilight is supposed to be a romance. That’s why it was written. It wasn’t written to try and one up J.K. Rowling, who wrote one of the most amazing fantasy series of all time. HP doesn’t even contain vampires, unless it was a vague reference I don’t remember. I agree with most of this paragraph (and with most of shaunanigans' points on why Twilight isn't such a horrible terrible no-good very-bad book); it was intended to be a teen romance novel, and it sort of was (though it also taught young girls to call "romantic" what the rest of us call "creepy as fuck"). I do feel a need to say, however, that if you think HP is "one of the most amazing fantasy series of all time," you really should read more fantasy series. It's a decent teen fantasy series, sure, and insanely popular, but one of the most amazing of the entire genre? 90% of Twihards are awkward, impressionable, weak teenage girls (much like Bella). I'm not saying all teenage girls are going to love Bella Swan. The other 10% are cougars that think Taylor Lautner is hot. This caused chortling. I do rather wish, however, that Taylor Lautner's neck weren't thicker than his head -- steroid abuse is Not Attractive. There SORT of was in Eclipse...and it's implied a lot in Eclipse after Bella is finally changed...But it kind of made me more awkward than anything else by that point. xD "I get it, you have an awesome sex life with your Greek god of a vampire, DO YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR FREE TIME?!" Do you mean Breaking Dawn? I KNOW. I think Meyer couldn't think of anything else to fill the spaces in between the plot. The series went from being pristine and PG to a vampire sex riot. It was so weird. Haha. Proof that the only reason the first few books were PG was that pre-marital sex is Not Okay in the Eyes of Meyer -- but once the ring's on the finger? Kinky fun-times, ahoy! |

I think that Edward Cullen was just her golden child of prudity (if this is even a word). Could vampirism be a metaphor for marriage in the series? I THINK YES. |

I probably wouldn't defend Twilight as much if Potterheads didn't attack every chance they got.
