TWILIGHT CHAPTER 1-10
I really hate Bella.
It's not as bad as I'd been warned. I used to read VC Andrews and still read Sweet Valley High, I'm immune to bad fiction.
SO FAR:
- Bella is utterly self absorbed. Her Dad is all "So remember that guy we used to fish with. Well, he is in a wheelchair and has given you a free truck" and instead of being all "In a wheelchair? Is he okay? That's so kind!" No. She is just all complaining about the car.
- Bella is irristible. Five men are in love with her. Nine if you include potential rapists.
- Edward has a musical, silky, honey covered, velvet voice. And golden eyes. And a gorgeous, angelic, stunning, godlike face. I know because it tells me every page.
- Bella can't even walk on fucking flat ground without falling over.
- Edward has three emotions; darkly amused, angry, moody.
- Bella's really not a very nice friend, she just keeps slagging them all off in her head when any of them show her any kindness. I hope they all dump her arse.
- Edward has possible future wife beating tendencies. He keeps demanding she eat and drink like she is mentally ill. At one point he beckons her over with a finger. I swear if anyone ever summoned me like this I'd snap the damn thing off.
- He LISTENS in on her conversations. WITH NO APOLOGY. HE EVEN WARNS HER HE'LL BE LISTENING! And she doesn't care!
- She has the most relaxed reaction to him being a vampire. I thought I'd skipped a chapter.
-What's with the fucking Volvo sponsorship? I don't think I've read about a Volvo in fiction ever.
- My favourite line. "I found my way to the school despite the fact I'd never been there before." Yeah. I hate exposition, too, Meyer.
Whew. Just ten chapters to go.
