So it's mostly a romance novel and not horror? Never been into romance novel as I find most of them to be too cheesy and full of mush. I'm willing to give it a try though, especially since the main characters are named after me and my man. What a coinkidink!Hmm...well, I'd never, ever think my boyfriend would enjoy the books, personally. They're less vampire more stereotypical romance most of the time. Highly addictive stuff that makes me mad at myself for reading it afterwards![]()
Bella's the worst main character in the history of literature.

What would you call it?If you can call what is in the book... 'a romance'.
What would you call it?
Seriously? That sounds creepy. FAR from a romance. Yikes!Whatever you call it when a guy removes the engine of the girl's car so the girl can't go anywhere without him.
How can any girl find that to be romantic? I guess it's fine to be stalked by a 'good looking' dude, who turns out to be a vampire?I do agree. Edward comes across very stalkerish. He removes her engine, he watches her sleep at night without her knowledge. Follows her out of town.
Seriously, the whole thing is very stalkeresque.
When I bought the book the lady at the counter was all ''This is going to teach you how to be the perfect boyfriend." and I'm like after reading it? ''So I should learn how to remove a motor, stat?"

Or... maybe he's looking out for her? *shudders*
So... what attracted him to her and vice versa?No idea. But maybe it is because he started watching her sleep BEFORE they started going out?
Hey, I resent that sexist statement! I'm not crazy, darn it! Just you wait, I'll find you and... and... steal all your candies!!Women = crazy
See! He IS looking out for her! Awww...Especially because the 'flaw' that she is given to seem like a real character... is deadly clumsiness.
So... what attracted him to her and vice versa?
Please answer in spoiler tag, just in case there are those who hasn't read and want to but don't want to know. Thanks.

Im a guy and I loved it. I dont like the glittery vampires or most of what the vampires do etc(Im too used ot Buffy vampires), but I liked the story. I HATE reading books, I never finish them, but Twilight was the first book I actually read throughout.I'm about to read Twilight for the sake of my girlfriend and my best friend. Except for the movie, which looked wholly uninteresting to me, I know absolutely nothing about this series of books. I've heard several arguments both ways, mostly down gender lines, as to the awesomeness or suckiness of this book. So, is it worth reading, or a total waste of time?

Grrr!! You made me think that you had read it! Well... now that I know, I declare your opinion to be... moot. Hmph!Well, I don't have any clue how they were attracted to each other... cause I haven't read the book.![]()
How do you know he's abusive since you haven't read?But I doubt that would give someone much more insight into a relationship that allows such abusive behavior.
What are you talking about? Dubya choking on a pretzel was GOLD!I dunno. I hear it is worse than Dubya choking on a pretel bad.
Yesssssssssssssss!All my candies?!?!?!?!!??! Nooooooo!
I don't understand the term 'glittery vampire'. Oooh... BtVS go a mention!!Im a guy and I loved it. I dont like the glittery vampires or most of what the vampires do etc(Im too used ot Buffy vampires), but I liked the story.

Thanks sooo much, CC! :heart:Edward can read everyone's minds. Everyone's but Bella's. that was the initial intrigue. but also, he's a "vegetarian" vamp, as is his family. he hungers for her blood and scent baaad in the beginning. it's like a drug to him i guess but he doesn't want to kill people so he resists
Grrr!! You made me think that you had seen it! Well... now that I know, I declare your opinion to be... moot. Hmph!
How do you know he's abusive since you haven't read?![]()
He took out the motor maybe because there's something wrong with it and he's saving her from... having a car accident.

Twilight... it's a series? How many in the series?
Thanks sooo much, CC! :heart:
Why did he stalk her and took the engine out of her car? How does Edward survive without drinking blood as that's a vampire's main 'diet'?
glittery vamps
meyer makes up her own mythos for vamps somewhat. instead of the stereotype of them not being able to walk out in the sun, her spin is that they choose not too because the sunlight reflects off their skin giving them a shimmery/glittery sheen.
Whatever, you fraud!I don't think context is going to help what I know about the book![]()
Your Dubya-hate is disgusting and unbelievable! I miss him. I miss how he made me laugh so hard that I, too, almost choke on my food, pretzel including. Also, he's not idiotic he's... intellectually challenged. Be PC, please.Yeah, but I doubt you'd want a Dubya stupid character as the main character of a book series...![]()
Not after I have possession of them.But but... they's mine.![]()
Ahh... they don't like the glittery look as they're afraid people might mistake them for a ... disco ball? Hehe!glittery vamps

See! I suspected right! He IS looking out for her! It doesn't take a vampire to know that clunkers can be dangerous. Bella doesn't seem to smart so... thank the demons for Edward!car engine steal
i don't really remember him stealing her engine if it happened in the first book lol
but, she does have a super old (i prefer vintage) truck that's a clunker. i think it's a 50's model or somewhere around there. so it could've been taken out because he wants her to stay put or because the truck's a death trap.
i do remember him pulling a dent out for her
Did you read the books?there's 4 books in the series. and possible a 5th
Well... Gilpesh 'diagnosis' was off coz he didn't read the book.No, the vampires DAZZLE!!!
I didn't like Twilight at all, but I never really took Edward's behaviour as abusive. In real life if a random guy were watching you sleep, etc. of course that would be bad. But in the context of the book I think it works because its alluded to from about the beginning that Edward thinks Bella will get in trouble (which she eventually does of course). It's like how Angel would follow Buffy occasionally when he knew something was up. The supernatural element plus the fact that the heroine will eventually get in some sort of trouble allows the male lead to be a little "stalkerish" within these narratives.
However, Twilight is another prime example of why parents need to be tuned in with what kids are reading. If I had a kid I would have no problem allowing them to read the books (except that I would worry about thier taste if they liked them ), but I would want them to understand that everything in the book, including the romance, is pure fantasy.
Whatever, you fraud!![]()
So how did you know 'so much' about it? Did you see the movie?
Your Dubya-hate is disgusting and unbelievable! I miss him. I miss how he made me laugh so hard that I, too, almost choke on my food, pretzel including. Also, he's not idiotic he's... intellectually challenged. Be PC, please.
[blackout]*wink*[/blackout]
Not after I have possession of them.
Well... Gilpesh 'diagnosis' was off coz he didn't read the book.(Hi! Gilpesh!
)
So... in short, your review/opinion is based on other people's review/opinion. I didn't expect you to be a sheep, Gilpesh. I am so utterly disappointed I feel like looking for a vampire to suck all the blood out of me. *sad*A hilarious review of the entire series.
You know you love him too, secretly.:stunned:
[blackout]haha[/blackout]
I like it. As long as it is advantageous to me.Damn that 9/10th of the law ownership clause!![]()
The lounge is THAT way!Hi Bella!
