I can't say that I've ever done more than skim through any of the twilight books, and that was bad enough. :(
I couldn't agree more. I think it's appalling that Meyer portrays Bella the way she does - she has no sense of self respect to allow herself to be treated so badly. And she does allow it to happen - her feelings are nothing short of obsessional. The fact that it is portrayed as healthy and normal is just wrong. In fact it's more than wrong, it's dangerous. It romanticises violence, demeans the value of women and completely undermines their rights to their own opinion. It says an awful lot about the beliefs of Meyer, that she honestly cannot see anything wrong in the way Bella behaves. It sets a worrying precedent for the young girls that read these books, in what they should expect, and accept, from a relationship.
These books are a blow for feminists everywhere. And the fact that they're applauded the way they are is frankly quite terrifying.
hang on waht? they dont have fangs? what the fuck how can they not have fangs?
to be fair i aint read it an am not likely to and I've only read austen sort of and its even pretty shite with zombies in it if you ask me. twilight sounds fuckin terrible though the characters sound liek proper wankers.
Also i seen the trailer to the film thing an its got the worst cgi werewolf in it ever i nearly pissed myself laughin.
also that guy aint even fit an he'll probaly look like the mugshot bloke when hes old ;-)
I know! Not even like, retractable ones or anything!
It's the most shallow book/series/whatever in the entire fucking world. It's completely superficial and it's treated like it's the word of God transcribed by his most precious angel >:(
That werewolf looks it's a shagging pokemon or something.
lmao i am totaly not saying A WORD about boyfriends who "equates control with love and protection" cos i might get battered :P no not realy. i think there hilarious!! well i only read the 1st one, its shit but i like shit books, i read mills and boon XD i dont mind if people change details tho else wouldnt everyone just be plagarising polidori?? like even bram stoker done that. i think its ok to fuck with the genre like what 28 days later and dead set done with zombie stuff, like making them run dead fast and stuff nothing like romero. course they are both ACTUALY GOOD with minimum sparkle so you cant realy compare
