Start with what you do like about it and we'll go from there biggrin


What I like about it..? xD Let's see... The list is very short. For me, having read a few other vampire novels, this one surprised me that it didn't have as much intimate romance as all the others. It had more plot than intimate romance. Laurell K. Hamilton for example, has a tendency to put too much romance into her book. You want someone that's cliche, please, read something of hers in the Anita Blake series. You'll want to shoot yourself. I couldn't get beyond the second book without puking. Hence why I stopped reading her work.


I DID like Carlisle's history. That was a nice touch.
 
     
 
@Ane: *Friend's you first*

You're absolutely right. She did change things. She made them Even. More. Perfect.

@Demonic: What plot? It's all about their "love", I think. Although I will take your advice and avoid Ms. Hamilton like the plague@.@

Yes! Carlise's history was amazing. But then again, all the characters sort of had an interesting touch to them. I did like how all the characters came from very different backgrounds (duh), and a lot of it had to do with historical events.

I agree that she made them too perfect. I did enjoy the descriptions though. She at least didn't do what the Fanfic writers do when they want to make the characters cooler and give them better clothes and make them even more perfect. >.>

I totally just created a thread in the Stephenie Meyer guild about critiques on the book... I'll tell you guys what happens. xD
     
Ack. I haven't read that far yet, so... I can't say anything intelligent.

EDIT:I think the fact that his face was so beautiful that she didn't even notice his clothes kinda balences it out, actuallyXP

That's true... But thank the literary gods she did not include any design clothes labels... Or at least I don't think she did... Ack, I can't remember. xP

Honestly, it was very immature. I feel your pain. And hey, atleast you didn't threaten to brick her. I was tempted.

Not that I know of. She did include the emo-kids-who-listen-to-the-same-music thing, though, and that's just as bad.

And I really want to see that critique thread@.@

Cold, dead, and sparkling = "Tall, dark, and handsome" for the sexually batshit.

No one's posted in it.. yet at least, don't worry. You're not missing much. xD

Although, the fact that she inclued the 'emo' kids made me laugh (sadly).

Finally!

I was just waiting for a thread that discusses the flaws of Twilight.

I've been hearing so much hype about it I was thinking about borrowing it from a friend... and I will probably still do that. I'm a sap at heart.

I kept seeing threads where everyone was praising it... and half of them have no reason for the praise.

So I was worried that it would be like another Eragon...

You know. Everyone loves it when it first comes out, and then suddenly the majority of people hate it.

That would have been a huge letdown after how much praise I've been hearing.

Now I've got reasonable expectations.

Thank you all for your discussion. I appreciate your honesty.

3nodding It's nice to meet someone else who does. And totally get the temptation. That knife comment was me trying to keep it PG-13. >.>

Yeah, I was really happy she didn't draw too much attention to clothing. If only she'd toned down Eddie's descriptions though.
