I'm reading Twilight

Because I feel like if I hate the movies, I need to expose myself to the books too. Here are my notes so far:




  • Stephenie Meyer has the writing style of a slighty intelligent tenth-grader. There are numerous spelling and grammatical errors. My theory is that her editor was too bored with the book to actually pay attention.

  • Edward and Bella talk to each other twice, and suddenly they’re joined at the crotch.

  • Bella is too dumb to be a woman. Someone needs to repo her vagina.

  • 300 pages in, and there is still no semblance of a plot.



If I thought the book was any good, I would have no problem saying so. And I actually think the basic idea of the book is interesting. But the characters, the lack of plot, and the writing are way too frustrating. I literally couldn’t read this in public, because I become visibly irritated while I’m reading it.
