Get Over It Vampire-Crazies
I loved "Twilight."
When it was still a book in the beginning of an unfinished series, I loved it. I would daydream about Edward and Jacob all time; especially about Carlisle ;D A good friend of mine had told me about the book so many times, but I didn't believe her until I read it for myself. Then, it all changed when the fandom went from a few thousand to a few million. The numbers sky-rocketed when rumors of a movie began circulating among the crazy fans on the internet.
By that time, I wasn't impressed. It was no longer like having a secret treasure of literature but an annoying book that instantly turned all the women around me to creepy obsessed fans. My irritation worsened when the movie opened. Books really should not be made into movies. Just saying. I know my opinion does not matter much, nor am I purposefully trying to piss any of you off; I am merely trying to explain something. Anyway,up till now, I didn't have a problem with understanding the plot.
Look, if you're already upset with me, then I suggest you leave this page and find something more pleasant to read as I'm sure your "pissed off" gauge won't dim down if you continue.
Now I can expound on what I meant by having a problem with the plot and the writing. As a fellow blogger put it, "Cracking open a thesaurus doesn't make you a novelist." After going through some of the pages I once found endearing, I realized that (no offense Mrs. Meyer) there are way too many cliches and too little to leave up to the imagination.
You know what? I think it's going to take too much to fully explain. So here's few links that will (in more words than I would like) explain what I mean.

So there you have it. I don't like how some of them cuss in their writing...but I hope you see what I mean. I'm not trying to be anti-Twilight (although 3 out of 4 of these writers seem to be), just pointing out the flaws in the writing. I'm going into a food coma, so till next time.
