I'm not criticising the book.... I'm not.
Ok, maybe I am, a little.
I have no idea why people are crazy over the book. Fine the story plt was well thought out, the words were beautiful, the characters dazzling(*cough*Edward Cullen*cough*), but doesn't anyone find it too freaking LONG WINDED???
Ok, so maybe saying this now is a little out dated since the 'Twilight' craze was sometime last year but whatever. I was at Sharlene's blog earlier and I loved her list of the top 10 most ridiculous things in 'Twilight'.
My personal favourites...
1. Guys do not act like this in real life. They do not poke you gently on the nose, beg you to tell them ALL about every minute detail in your life and treat you like a newborn baby.
2. Dully predictable conversations.
3. Bella practically faints every time Edward(gorgeous vampire bf) comes into the room.
4. If Edward and his family freaked out about a paper cut, wouldn't he be driven mad every time Bella was on her period(My favourite!!!)
Now to my own mini list:
1. Somehow people seem to idolize the character(the oh-so-gorgeous-he-could-sweep-you-off-your-feet Edward Cullen) more than to appreciate the rich language and story plot(even though its long winded but credit should be given to the literature!)
2. It was so long winded I actually skipped some of the conversations.
3. Why a simple story could turn into a complicated chase around the country.
No, needless to say I'm not buying the 2nd book, or the 3rd, or any sequel for that matter.
Oh and the actor playing Edward Cullen is unbelieveably ugly, how ironic.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
