So, I just read a review on the Twilight books. I was curious, what were they all about?
I was disappointed.
They don't sound that amazing. Bella is supposed to be the hero...then why does she just sound like a messed up girl who pretty much ends up selling her soul? It's like Edward is a drug. And she will give anything to get high.
Her self-appointed fate sounds like it would be horrible. She did not become what she was destined to be, or whatever. Bella was never in touch with reality, she lived in the world she formulated for herself in her head. And now she is stuck there. I mean, she recreated herself into someone compatible with Edward, and in the end, she sounds like even Edward is no longer so fascinated with her.
At the end of the review and all the quotes, I was kind of confused. That's it? That's the end? I don't know what I was expecting, but I ended up feeling really empty. After all the time, all the emotions the reader invests into that series....and they can't even take anything away. No morals. No lessons. Nothing at all that even relates to our reality.
What the heck?
I was frustrated.
To me, the whole thing seemed like a waste. All the writing, all the reading, all the money, all the movies...all the fuss.
I hope you guys had a better result when reaching the end, because I would hate to hear that you were as blindsided as I was. To me, it just seemed unfortunate...and hopeless.
Let me know what you thought.
God
Bless

Amen, sister.
oh thank you
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?????
The Twilight books are full of deep meaning about love, priorities, family and sacrifice.
Bella didn't change herself at all. She was entirely too unaware of herself to.
And Oh. My. Gosh. I don't think I've ever read something that better captures the epitome of emotion more than Breaking Dawn.
I thought Breaking Dawn wasn't as good as the other ones. I mean, I know Stephenie Meyer came up with this, but with Bella pregnant at 18? It's fairly ridiculous. And then with everyone but 3 people (besides Bella) wanting to KILL the baby???? Anyway, I think it was too airy-fairy, la-di-da everything is perfect I have Jacob -I have Edward -I have a baby- happy day.
I liked how Eclipse represented choice, with the pain and the sacrifice, it meant something. New Moon was kinda pathetic- she's DEAD without Edward.
I liked Twilight, because it seemed to be a dark romance, but not inappropriate. It was great. Eclipse was my favorite though; it seemed the most symbolic.
Roo, I think you're going a little crazy over there. You can certainly LIKE Twilight, but you seem to be worshipping it.
WHO WAS THAT???
I do not WORSHIP Twilight. I just love it with a passion. And I LOVED Breaking Dawn. It was my favorite book. Why in the world was it unplausible? I thought it was the best!
