Stephenie Meyer: Twilight & New Moon

[readsalot]

neither, but how was the movie?
Are you movie or books only or both?

The books are better than the films but I like watching them to swoon over Edward

Why do you think 'Twilight' has been so popular?

 

[Anamnesis]

It's a safe series to read. Readers find charm in Edward and Bella's "chaste" relationship (no sex until marriage) and Meyer's vampires have little in common with the monsters of traditional folklore. These books are vampire fiction for people who normally avoid vampires.

It's pure awesome. Wrapped in a layer of amazing win.

I've never read these. My Woolf professor recently compared one of the male characters to Edward though. Most odd.

There's a good summary here. Recommend it.

I nearly peed myself with this:

"He is COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with LOVE for this veritable stranger because she smells so fucking good. Like, the best smell you can think of? DOESN'T COMPARE, BITCHES."

(I am a vampire at a haunted house. My costume includes fangs, a cape, and of course, I am drenched in blood.)

Teenage girl: *looking extremely mad* “What is this?! They got your costumes all wrong!”

Me: *snarling, not dropping character* “You smell delicious…it’s so rare we get fresh victims…”

Teenage girls: “No, no, no! Vampires drink ANIMAL blood! And why aren’t you sparkling?!”

Me: “Your neck…it’s so…inviting—”

Teenage girl: “This is WRONG! You aren’t real vampires!” *stomps away*

If Famous Writers Had Written Twilight

James Joyce

Edward's rapacious love for Bella reflects the way globalism has pillaged Ireland. It's entirely written in Esperanto, with sections in untranslated Greek, except for Chapter 40, which is inexplicably rendered as a script page from the musical The Book of Mormon.
