(no subject)
Started reading the Twilight series out of morbid curiosity. It's... well, okay, the main romance (pages and pages of goopily romantic ultraviolet prose interspersed with rage-inducing "WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO FUCKING RETARDED!?" angst) kinda makes me want to shoot myself. And there are enough typos to make me wonder if Stephanie Meyer's editor read the first three pages and then started chugging grain alcohol. And the gender/sexuality issues require a significant amount of "LA LA LA CAN'T HEEEEEEEAR YOU"-ing. But the remaining two percent of the series is... okay, I guess? It's reasonably entertaining when I'm not distracted by the urge to bitch-slap the characters, and I think that Meyer has the potential to be a good writer if she got (and listened to) a decent editor.
In short: Generally uninspiring, but I can kinda see the appeal.
