This will probably be pretty bad. I think she's milking the cow for all it's worth.
I figured so much. I mean, it seems like she kinda dropped off the radar (writing-wise) after Bree Tanner and the Midnight Sun "leak". It almost makes me wonder if she is on a hiatus or gave up. She does have good ideas, just bad execution. And zero concept on how to create an intriguing love triangle that isn't as shallow as a dog's water bowl.
@ NightfallDuet, yikes! Body-swapping/ posession are a couple of the supernatural elements I enjoy too.
sad Then again, it is Meyer, so I should have anticipated that. Heck, like you, I remember precisely where I am in the first book of Twilight- page 125 give or take 2 pages. Mostly because I reminded myself frequently after I found out I grabbed Eclipse on accident last year. Fun how that happens. XD
Actually, The Host came out before plans to write Bree Tanner were in the works, and as far as I know, she was planning on writing it before Midnight Sun got leaked as well.
I know that because the book came out back in 2009 or 2008, a few months after Breaking Dawn and some time in my senior year of high school. Bree Tanner hadn't come out until early 2011, if I remember right.
I think that's what he meant. She does seem like she's been off the radar. Last year, there was talk of her doing these ideas that included a mermaid story and sequel to The Host, but she doesn't have anything new up aside from promos of her new movie. As for Bree Tanner, I thought that came out around '10. This movie rendition of The Host seems to be the most recent thing that has been released/ heard from her in at least a year.
Alas, I may check out the movie. I like her ideas, but need that fourth wall not in her books. But will read at least an exerpt online before committing myself.
Bree Tanner might have come out in '10. But I don't remember that well.
I hadn't read The Host, but a classmate did. She said that while there may have been some mild improvement, it wasn't particularly noticeable. Kind of described it as "Animorphs meets Twilight" (my wording) so I ultimately didn't look into it. I had only read through all of the books in the Twilight series because I felt compelled to finish the series; I had trouble getting past the first paragraph of Twilight, so The Host is likely pretty much the exact same basic story.
Yeah, I can vouche on the same thing. I've yet to finish Twilight because it's more painful than teeth removal. Yet, though not the top selling blockbusters that hardcore fans think they should be, I do find some enjoyment in the movies. Be it some of the overboard drama that is pure sugar for my sarcasm or some of the moments done right (there are some, even if the context takes away from some of that), the movies weren't completely bad. I reserve that for one of the Bruce Campbell movies I've seen and cannot remember the name of because it sucked that bad.
But yeah. I heard that description as well. It's a lot of why I'm curious, but hesitant.
