After hearing so much hype about Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, I figured I'd use part of my holiday break to indulge my curiosity and see what all the fuss was about. I still have no idea why people like these books.

Twilight is a teen romance about a klutzy human girl who falls in love with a sparkly vampire (in the sunlight, "his skin

Wait...does Meyer actually switch first person POV between Edward and Bella? Oh. My. God. It just keeps getting better/worse!

Actually, no, she doesn't. I guess my quotes just lack some context. Oops. The line that is in Edward's voice is a quote where he's speaking directly to Bella.

Twilight is told completely from Bella's perspective. In Breaking Dawn, we get first person POV from Bella and from Jacob (a werewolf), but we never in either of those two books get Edward's POV.

{points finger} ha ha, you read Twilight

Damn straight. Despite the overwhelmingly negative review, I actually enjoyed it in a kind of perverse way. I laughed a lot while reading it and had a great time making fun of it and describing it to those who hadn't and wouldn't read it.

Wait until I post a review of Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the series, and then point and laugh. I still can't believe I actually read and finished that one.

I think I just ejaculated rainbows.

I honestly can't decide if the book would be better or worse if that were really a part of it. On the one hand, it would be just one more way in which it's silly and insane; but, on the other hand, at least there would be sex. And silly incompetence is better than boring incompetence.

So I guess I wish Edward really did ejaculate rainbows and have a "cock so gorgeous, scintillating and godlike" that "it was like the pale marble cock of Adonis."
