All discussions aside… I’m a big vampire-lore fan (have been so for 10 years) and I HATE what Stephanie Meyers has done to the vampire-lore… butchered it yaar
Give me an Anne Rice book anytime, she does more justice to vampire-lore. Twilight series is so stupid, I managed to read half of the first book and found it extremely blah. I would recommend reading Kelley Armstrong if you’re interested in Paranormal stuff (vampires, werewolves, etc.); her writing style is AWESOME (read No Humans involved, thats my favorite). Or try Karen Marie Moning, she’s a great storyteller… her Dark fever series is mind-blowing.
Stephanie Meyers… EH!!! and that character Edward, double EH!!
What is it about Edward that teens find appealing? That he’s like-the-most-beautiful-guy-ever (supposedly) and that he’s a blood sucking vampire with a strong will-power. I couldn’t find any character-building in that book… it was all too vague and Bella was the most insipid female I’ve ever read about… WTH was that?!?
so totally right … stephen meyer has killed the vampire culture for me and i haven’t even read the books or watched the movie … its pathetic that she made them sparkly … if u wanna watch a good vampire movie watch interview with a vampire and u get an idea …
