Sparkly vampire book

I have obtained the first seven chapters, although there's no way I'm going to actually read all that tripe. But just in case you were wondering if Stephenie Meyer's writing has improved since Twilight (the only one I've read), the answer is NO. Also, Edward still farts rainbow sparkles and Bella, as personality-free as ever, still slavishly adores him. I'm just as shocked as you are.


On the one hand, I had been raised to cringe at the very thought of poofy white dresses and bouquets. But more than that, I just couldn't reconcile a staid, respectable, dull concept like husband with my concept of Edward. It was like casting an archangel as an accountant. I couldn't visualize him in any commonplace role.

Like always, as soon as I started thinking about Edward, I was caught up in a dizzy spin of fantasies...

Aspiring writers on my flist, take heart in knowing that you're almost certainly already writing much more competently than she is. Why she's the one raking in the millions I will never understand.

P.S. SMeyer is at least as italics-happy as Mercedes Lackey, and that's saying something.
