never again
That's it. I've had enough. I've had enough of the fucking Twilight series. I just finished New Moon, and I cannot continue anymore. I can't stand the mind-numbingly cheesy stuff that - fuck, I have difficulty typing out his name - he says. I've lost count how many times the word 'velvet' was used to describe his fucking voice. Or 'perfect', to describe his lips. And that bitch Bella annoying the hell out of me. So many times I found myself slapping myself on the forehead when I read about her 'pain' and 'anguish'.
Examples:
"I was gripped in a sudden agony of despair as I considered that alternative. My mind rejected the pain, quickly skipping on to the next option." - The Cunts might be vamps! Should I heed his advice, and ignore him, or 'do nothing different'?
'"You don't want to hear it," I mumbled, almost whispered. As soon as the words were out, I regretted them. The pain in my voice was very faint; I could only hope he hadn't noticed it.' - After he said that he couldn't read her mind. What pain? I don't understand why she would feel pained by this fact.
I think that Bella is very stupid too. Until now, I don't understand why she didn't turn to her vamp friends for help after the phone call from James. Yes, her mum was apparently in danger, but come on, James was only one vamp. Did the Cunts think that they couldn't handle him, despite outnumbering him seven to one? I wouldn't even go into detail what she did next. Let's just say that she was dumb enough to obey James and walked straight into trouble. And at the climax, Bella fainted at a convenient time, so we didn't get to read about the action scenes. Fucking awesome, that was.
New Moon was no better. The way Bella dealt with the break-up sickened me. Nightmares about nothingness? I wanted to strangle her when she said that she'd do anything to hear her beloved's voice again. That cliff-jumping scene was incredibly stupid. I was so sorry that there weren't jagged rocks in the water to smash her skull into a million pieces. And who the fuck did she think she was, playing with another boy's feelings and sending him the wrong signal? What's so special about her anyway, having had the whole school fall in love with her on her first day? Don't even get me started on the 'I can't live without you' bullshit. Bedward's 'love' can't be described as 'true love', because if you dig deeper, the only things that kept their relationship going were his looks (yes, he has a perfect body and a velvety voice and a sweet breath and intense topaz eyes) and her smell. I was so frustrated that I yelled at the computer screen. (I downloaded the e-books (for free, duh. I'm not going to support a crap writer like Smeyer))
I felt so bad for Jake when she rejected him. What had he done to deserve such treatment from her? And she still had the cheek to call him mean when he left her motorcycle (which her dad didn't approve of) in front of her house?
The writing was horrible too. I was irritated by the improper use of italics.
Example: (only one, because I can't bear trawling through all the crap to get them all)
'I waited for them to get their food, and then followed them to a table, my eyes on my feet.'
So many times the word 'get' was wrongly emphasised. And the number of typos... GAH!!!!! At first I thought there was something wrong with the pdf file. Then when I read the chapter-by-chapter analyses on anti-Twitlight websites, I realised that they were actual typos. *shakes head* I even read about Meyer getting her geography all wrong... Brazil has a west coast?? *faints*
So, that's it. I will never touch a Twitlight book ever again. I will never spoil my eyes trying to to read 368 pages of crap that is Eclipse on the computer screen. The only way I'm going to read the book is to follow Dan on Sparklife.
