Yay, reading FTW!

Guess what I ordered yesterday from amazon.co.uk? The complete Twilight Saga, in English! And it was cheap too, 4 hard-cover books for like 32,09 €. Of course with the postage fees it comes up to about 50 €, but it's so worth it, for Twilight

Edward/Bella: Because paedophilia is okay if you look like you're 17!

[frozenxraindrop]

Huh, I hadn't thought about that. Another thing for me to be annoyed about, thanks. But if you look at the movie, that Rob fellow so doesn't look like he's 17 al all. He has a f*cking stubble! A stubble, okay?!

[murielago]

Yeah, and nobody will ever complain about Ginny Weasley when they compare to how Bella reacted when Edward left her for her own good. After Harry left her (for her own good), Ginny tried to steal the Sword of Gryffindor and then fought Death Eaters in the Battle of Hogwarts. What did Bella do? She became practically comatose for months, and then did some slightly fucked-up things just to hear Edward's voice.

What do you mean, "Psy is not the biggest fan of Twilight"? :DD

Haha, that same "paedophilia" thing has been bugging me for like... forever :D I think it's quite disgusting an old geezer in the body of a 17-year-old boy! Or is it just that when your body stops aging, your mind does that as well... To be a teenager forever, uh-huh, what kind of a strange person does want THAT?

But $32 is not bad at all for four books. :O I'm one of those people who "dislike" Twilight, in other words, I don't like Bella or Edward and I think that the writing is quite bad (and with Meyer's personal religious beliefs and Christian/Mormon values stuffed in it, ugh), but it has several nice characters and the story has potential.

...well, it's Bad Spelling Day for me again :D I meant to write "I think it's quite disgusting, an old geezer in the body of a 17-year-old boy!" and "what kind of a strange person wants THAT?". Sorry.

And I'm not disliking anyone's religion or values or stuff, I just think that it's a bit... tasteless to put them in a YA novel, teenagers being so easily influenced. "Premarital sex is bad bad BAD", well, that what _you_ think, Mrs. Meyer...

[frozenxraindrop]

That's so true, it's like she's some evil... person, who wants to take over the world with her Christian/Mormon beliefs. Okay, a little too far, sorry. Although I don't think lotta people will be influenced by the books' 'beliefs', maybe just the young readers. :S

[murielago]

Yeah, and what kind of a freak chooses to repeat high school for a hundred years? I mean, sure, he'll always look 17, but why not try different kinds of schools...

Heh, hajoilin noille kaikille kommenteille : D Onhan se totta joo, että ei nuo Twi-saagan tapahtumat aina ihan kovin aitoja ole, mutta kyllä mä silti tykkään sarjasta. Sellaista ihanaa hömppää, etenkin ykkösosa, siinä E:n ja B:n rakkaus kukoistaa ja on niin epätodellisen hienoa. Mutta.. siitä eteenpäin olenkin ärsyyntynyt Edwardiin toden teolla, Eclipsessä tekis mieli karjua joka kerta kun Bella alistuu Edwardin tahtoon olla näkemättä Jacobia. Okei, kuulun Team Jacobiin, mutta silti ^^ Tykkää Meyerin tavasta kuvailla, enkä pidä Bellaakaan mitenkään kovin ärsyttävänä hahmona, jotenkin siihen on välillä helppo samastua, vaikka itse tuskin olisin "kooman" kaltaisessa tilassa niin montaa kuukautta jonkun pojan lähdettyä : D Meyerin tyyli tosin vähän petti BD:n alussa ja kaikki hahmot oli ihan OC, mutta toiseen kirjaan päästyä se alkoi saada otteensa takasin. Siitä eteenpäin tykkäsin kirjasta (:

Oi, vihdoinkin toinen Team Jacobilainen! :F Kaikki tytöt luokallani ovat vain "Edward Edward Edward" ja äidinkielen openi on myös Houkutus/Edward-fani, joten ärsyttää vähän kun olen ainoa joka on Team Jacob.

Muakin ärsytti niin v*tusti on Edward hajotti Bellan auton jotta hän ei pääsisi Jaken luokse. >:( Oikeasti! Nyt olen vähän neutraalilla kannalla Edwardin kanssa, ehkä opin pitämään hänestä kun luet kirjat uudelleen.
