YUCKEW!!!!
Oh the ghastliness.
okay hmmhmm summary time.
around the beginning i started junior year, i was sitting next to the wall in my homeroom spanish class. the second level spanish students were doing their poster things which were up on the wall (which i NEVER looked for help on tests ahemahem), and the one right next to me had something about edward and twilight (edward es mia maybe? talvez? my spanish went right out the window after that dreadful AP exam) with a picture of the book. that was the first piquing of my interest.
then several months later, nancy in hr had the book with her. i seriously just wanted to rip the book straight out of her arms (exaggeration) so that i could read it. i have a weird thing for big books i have to say (harry potter and the goblet of fire anyone?). anyhow, i think it was kinda because there was so much tension building up to it from various places, i can't remember alla them now, but i remember whenever my english group got together, the three others would always end up talking about bella/edward vs. bella/jacob. i was like "wtf? must be another gossipgirl thingamajig." (i also kinda blame twilight for taking away my potential A's goshdarnit! you big bad book!! T_T) one fateful day, the grp was @ krings house and she has a wonderful bookshelf full of wonderful books, the twilight series being a few of them. i attacked her bookshelves and picked out the first novel and also Kite Runner since my bro had recommended it (also a good read, but in a very different sense). i raced home to read it... and was disappointed. why, you ask? because it was SO OOEY GOOEY. omgsh. soooo not me, yknow? gah, where was the adventure, the epic battle? okay, there was a teensyweensy battle in the end, but it was like 2 pages long. -_- in fact, i don't even really remember what happened in the first book, even though i read it twice. i read it twice cuz i was trying to understand why people liked it. and i suppose the plot's okay, and edward is kinda dreamy, but the actual quality of the writing itself was so yuckew. i remember trying to count the times the word "teeth" appeared (so UNsubtle!), but i lost count.
blahblahblah, i grew to like it.
and then one day outta the blue, mary asked me if i had read twilight. and i said yes. then she asked me if it was good. and i said no. that her writing was not of the same caliber as JKR (obviously). but the funny thing is that later, i was at borders reading the second book when mary came and saw me. LOL caughtsies. -_- but it was okay, i just told her that it was a guilty pleasure, and we read together. i came to borders again before my surgery (oooh i have pictures!), and i picked up where i left off on New Moon. Voila, mary comes out and catches me reading once again (it was pretty weird). but she had already bought the first and second book so she had read all night and was already ahead of me gah luckyrichmarywhoalsohasacar.
that was kind of a side story huh.
well the thing is that after the surgery, i begged my brother to buy me the final book (Eclipse, at the time) to help me not die. melodramatics always helps in my familay heh. i read it at LEAST two times, and i was convinced her writing and plotlines were improving with each novel, and got me very excited for breaking dawn.
that saying, "the higher you go, the harder you fall" applies in this case. ohMY. worst plotline ever, and i'm not even kidding, the little comic below does a fairly accurate job of summarizing it. also, my mom's stalking the computer so i hafta get off pretty soon. :[ i'm not gonna spoil the story for anyone reading, but all in all, the plotlines were horrible, the graphics were disgusting, and everything just got so MUSHY without a real fight again. dang. wth. so bad. one of the only books that i tried not to think about or read again. ugh. i feel bad that my bro bought this one too. so gross! YUCKEW!
