I read the first two of these pretty much by accident. I get bored, I read. My eleven year old niece, who buys skinny pants (WTF did Hot Topic start selling skinny pants?!) and has an attitude, lent them to me when I visited my sister. I sound old. Anyway, they're literary crud, in my opinion. Thank you, whoever explained the whole plot in a paragraph. Now I won't be tempted to read the other two. What is up with the sparklemania?
Alright, this is getting ridiculous. It's like... Dawson's Creek with vampires or something? What's the deal?
It's a series about some girl(totally not an author self-insert honest) who falls in love with some self-loathing vampire, much sex and violence ensues, werewolves happen, he impregates her and she gives birth to the telepathic hellspawn in what I am told is horrendously graphic spine-breaking(literally) detail, then he turns her to save her life and they get married and everyone lives happily ever after!
Did I metion that this particular kind of vampire isn't hurt by sunlight? Apparently they just... sparkle a bit. Hence the term sparklevampires or sparklymarblepeen in the case of the commonly lusted-over main vampire guy.
It's like Anne Rice except without the religious overtones and... less restraint.
It is ridiculous. The writing is horrendous. If I ever hear someone being referred to as having "cold marble skin" again, I'm burning the book.
The movie was hilarious because they tried so hard to be serious, but it failed. I was glad I went to a later showing with people who weren't over-serious fangirls. It was amusing. Heheheheh....
I like movies that I can be irreverent with. It's a pasttime of mine to watch terrible movies and give them a Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. And you know what? Oftentimes, I have more fun that way than if the movie were actually really good.
I might end up trading in my testicles for a ticket to Twilight.
