I can help it. Please, try, what makes the books so appealing? Just saying they are is a pretty weak argument.

I think I actually understand why some people like them. Two beautiful characters (one sort of disguised in a way that allows many people to relate to her) Who fall in love.

In fact, I think story is a bit of wish fulfillment for the demographic. I know this, because I'm a teen age girl. The idea of having a romance with a gorgeous extraordinary guy, appeals to us (Well not me...).

Anyway, I didn't like it, but I can see why many of my peers do.

Oh, and Minari, I LURVES Terry Pratchette. heart

Dingdingding! We have a winner!

This is also true of most romance novels, which (in addition to purple prose and flat characters) is why the genre is rarely taken seriously by many people.

No, I haven't, but if he's a main character then we can't afford to wait until his version to understand his motives. She has to show us.

I haven't gotten to the point where Ed gets annoyed with Bella, but it's about damn time, seeing as I'm 300 pages in. There need to have been internal problems by now and there haven't. Simply put, it's a bad basis for a relationship.

...Okay, so what you're saying is... Because the story is Bella's POV, we should be able to see how Edward is in his head...? Bella can't read his mind, so that's not possible. Hence, you can't see this part of Edward.

You shouldn't really judge a book right away without finishing it. Sure, you can judge it along the way, but you shouldn't judge it before you reach the end. That makes no sense. You haven't even gotten through the whole story.

[Ane the panther]

Wow, I can't help but feel that between sleep and school I end up getting totally behind on the conversation.

Anyway, I finished Twilight last night, so now I can judge it in full domokun
I've also decided to go ahead and read New Moon. It's like watching a train wreck. Will borrow from friend.

OMFGMinari, are you physic or something? I heart Bartimaeus.
But anyway, to add on to what you said about Carrot and Angua, Angua is a were-wolf, which draws out some interesting comparisons to Twilight... *hehehe*

Anyway, I have loads of homework, but I'll try to come back on later tonight.

I loved it, it wasn't the most challenged to read but she wrote it well in a way you felt like the characters. And thats just my opionion so don't bother flaming it cause I don't care what you think.

very true.

She's writing a new book called Midnight Sun which is the Twilight story from Edwards point of view.

Personally it's a extremely medicore book for the attention it gets. Also all the characters are very plain and Gary-Stu/Mary-Sue ish.

My thoughts exactly. Puts me in mind of Eragon...

I agree with you on Twilight and Eragon, I would elaborate, but it exceeds the bandwith.

Have you ever noticed that you know how some people think? Like, your best friends? Even strangers occaisionally? That's because people give themselves away, in plenty of ways. Through action and reaction, and especially through dialouge. There are dozens of techniques a good author will use to show how their characters work.

@Ane: Ba-dum-dum-CH! You win the Best Taste Award<3

I personally like the books because I think the whole human/vampire love thing is cute, but if Bella gets turned then I'm probably going to stop reading the books neutral
