Wow. This hit #1 in my list of worst books. Ever.
The truth about Twilight is, if you read it CAREFULLY, and observe what Bella says in this 400+ paged torture, You may realize how much it just deserves 1 star.
Let's start with basics. The plot.
Twilight is written in first-person, from Bella, the protagonist's point of view. The concept of the book is somewhat appalling, considering that this romance novel is about a mere human falling in love with a perfect vampire.
In truth, if you read through it, you'd be kind of disappointed by what everything Bella just has to say.
So, the protagonist is Bella Swan, which translates into Beautiful Swan in Italian. That's... An unexpected start.
Moving on, As described above, Twilight is written in Bella's point of view. And because I can't think of another way to describe her in the meantime, I'll just be narrowing down what she says in the first 300+ pages of the book.
At first, Bella just LOVES to rant about how Forks SUCKS. Then she keeps going on about how clumsy she is but PEOPLE JUST LOVE HER and that THEY THINK SHE'S SO AWESOME. Next, she falls in love with Edward, and continues talking about how beautiful and absolutely hot he is, and that she's so not worthy to be with him. She also keeps telling us that she wants to turn into a vampire so that the both of them can be together.
Ugh.
AND HER HEART ACTUALLY LITERALLY STOPS when Edward kisses her. Err. Overactive, much?
Twilight's actually serious plot starts at page 372. In which Bella becomes so stupid enough to risk her own life and ends up in mortal danger.
... And Edward ends up saving her. Like the other 2 times she was in danger.
Next up is Edward Cullen.
Yeah, Edward is the hot vampire every Twilight fan girl you hear squealing for.
Describing Eddie should be a snap. Edward is basically a vampire that's SO PERFECT. Of course, any girl would fall in love with him in an instant. You would give him an A for everything, really. *ahem* Except for driving, I guess. *ahem*
Yet, he falls for plain and average Bella Swan. Because he thinks Bella is unnatural. Yeah.
He keeps telling Bella that he's too dangerous and that she should stay away from him. But he doesn't stay away from her, and neither does Bella, vice-versa, anyway.
But the appalling thing about Edward and the rest of the vampires in Twilight, is that, they're... Sparkly. That's right, these are glamorous vampires we're talking about here. Rather, they look really sparkly in the sun. How... Intriguing?
Okay, so in short, what I have to say about Twilight when I read it was...
... I wasted my time reading this. What really wanted me to read this in the first place is the fact that I saw everyone around me outside of home carrying a copy of Twilight. So I thought I'd try it out. And guess what I think?
Unbelievable.
Dear Stephanie Meyer, you have contaminated the minds of girls and now the world of literature is now... Distorted by the stupidity. I feel so sorry for you.
In other words; Don't read this if you want to read a romance novel. You'll totally get disappointed.
People, could you do me a favor and stop comparing this to Harry Potter, an actually SENSIBLE book? Please.
And another thing, Reading something, either a book or what-have-you, and just as long as you read is completely stupid.
