Books: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

[Note: I am well aware that this book hides a volatile fandom which would probably lynch me for what I am about to say. I can only assume they will not find me.]

At the behest of much buzz and with the excuse of a class in young adult lit, I finally read Meyer's vampire romance Twilight. And my feelings are both definite and mixed, if that's

This exactly the way I feel about Twilight. I gave up on the third book, but it was fun to read for a while.

[my_daroga]

Yeah, despite everything I said (and stand behind) I am tempted to keep going...

[lafemmedarla]

Resist, Daroga! You can do it!

Ok... I am now being informed there is gonna be a companion book as well - Twilight told from Edward's POV. And they're trying to make me read thepreview chapter. *hides behind giant alien whale*

Goodness. It feels like it was designed to be a media juggernaut, doesn't it?

[lafemmedarla]

Dude, after Bella's POV, I am terrified to check out Edward's. Unless he's gonna confess he's actually doing all this because he's in love with Bella's dad or something.

I am morbidly curious, myself. Part of me figures at least it's not her pov...

*shudders at Bella's POV*

Must confess I am curious about the movie now. Will Edward get a seedy opium den? *pokes the seedy opium den*

[my_daroga]

What?

[lafemmedarla]

Edward is played by Robert Pattinson, ergo, Edward must have a Seedy Op Den and will be sad if he doesn't.

That was a convoluted mess for me to follow. I didn't know that's who he was!

I think Midnight Sun is going to be all online...

My friend is trying to make me read it. I don't wanna. *runs away*

[my_daroga]

Aww, it's like fanfic of her own book!

(And she says she's trying to publish it.)
