I'm not far in and haven't developed much of an opinion on the book past little story telling things. Has anyone else read this and if so, what did you think?


I actually like that book a lot. It's not perfect and I have read better books, but I do like it.

I have read all the Twilight books, even though they were terrible for the most part. (I found the villains and the side-characters from the other covens to be the most interesting characters.....) The "Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" novella is actually pretty good, though. :| My friends are really into Twilight. I'm just the one who tends to read a LOT of books.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

The only "Twilight"-y thing I've ever liked are the read-throughs on youtube. Sometimes the reactions that people have are the best part. I never liked it; I could never get in to it, but I'm very picky when it comes to what I read. I blame the five years of nitpicking known as university work.

I really hope something of Colum's shows up soon. It's edging towards when it all should be here (one is smack-dab in the middle of its delivery time estimate, the others are close to it) and I'd love him to be, you know, clothed for Christmas.

Well, you can't tell what's good or bad unless you're exposed to things commonly agreed as being both. After I had my college classes I got a taste of "good books" and started to develop a better sense of "good" and "bad" no mater who wrote it. We all go through a learning phase where we figure that out, and if you write you write some turkeys. It's how you come out at the end that matters.

I never want to put anyone who reads down, Twilight is a start, but use it as a platform to other books. For the five seconds my sister was reading Percy Jackson she wasn't mindlessly chatting on the internet.

The Percy Jackson books are a lot of fun. My students adore them too, so it makes for a great platform to jump off of when doing ELA.

okay, got a black dress that fits okay, a black skirt and a striped button up shirt. I hate shopping for shirts, everything's cut for a Bcup average and I'm about a D, so nothing fits great in the armpits .

Yay, that sounds great. Yeah, that's frustrating. I wish it were cheaper to get custom cut clothing. Some people buy bigger clothes and have them altered but that's always a pain.

When is your interview?

Your right about that. It also depends on who you are. For me I did give Twilight a genuine chance but it gave me a headache with trying to read it. The writing style was more like someone trying to write a fanfiction. I feel like Meyer could've done a better job then what she had put out. I prefer other novels and other authors who can give me pretty much a bit of everything in one. I like Kat Falls, Neal Shusterman, James Patterson, Suzanne Collins...Those types of authors but my friends like other books like Twilight. Do I hate Twilight? Yes I'd rather cut my thumbs off then have to read or see another Twilight anything again. I just can't take it. Do I hate on others who like it? Not really. You like what you like.
