Soooo....I finally finished Twilight last night.

After I flipped the last page, I thought to myself, "wow. Fluff fluff fluff fluff, a little bit of action, fluff." Furthermore, the climax was a cop-out. I now really don't see how this ever became a best-seller. I'm wondering if the bootlegged Notepad version that I have is different than all the others, or what? "Riveting characters, original idea..." Where has your head been all these years? Jammed up your asshole?

Edward and Bella couldn't have had a more hollow love- I really think that had Edward been just a regular brand of handsome, none of this would've ever happened. It was insisted that Bella and Edward were two special, interesting people, who had earned the other's love, but nothing backed that up. Bella never even grew into anything more or revealed some sort of life that she may have been having before this whole mess. And Edward. He had no real interests, hobbies, or personality himself besides being depicted as perfect. I guess what I'm about to say sounds shocking, but perfect =/= not boring/interesting. Perfect is the last thing I would ever want in a lover. I don't see how anyone thinks he's ideal, unless they're superficial and boring themselves. They should have replaced him with Teller.

Half of this book was long drawn-out conversations like the ones parodied on Amazon:

Oh Edward, don't leave me.
I won't, I'll try to stay, it's just I'm so dangerous. Aren't you worried about that?
No, not at all, I'm worried about other things.
Wow, you're so incredible.

I don't even remember them having any regular conversations that didn't involve how much they were in faux-love. About their thoughts, their spirituality, hobbies, everyday life... they didn't have any jokes between each other, they never had any real disagreements or fights. Everything just worked out.

No substance whatsoever.
This book gets two stars. I don't give it one because for it to be one, it has to actually invoke some emotional response in me, even on the negative side. It was so bad, I just finished it feeling blank, like I'd wasted a lot of time. I haven't been a writer long, 5 years about. But she greatly disappoints me. I'm guessing that the Twilight fanbase has an overwhelming number of people that don't write themselves, and are therefore blind to how much effort and skill is lacking in everything about this story.

Her sister, the one that thought her secret project was so good that she ought to try for publishing........ yeah, please die in a fire.
