WTF

So, Colleen bought Breaking Dawn last night, the final book of the Twilight books. She finished it around 4 am this morning, and since I never intend to read it for snarking purposes, I made her tell me what happens.

... I want to be an author now. :(

I know. I wonder how in the hell it all got published and so hyped in the first place. DDD: I don't read the series, so I'm more or less unscarred by it all (and free of any and all headdesking over misogynistic vampire sparklelolz), but my sister does and it looks like someone's told her both Santa AND the Easter Bunny doesn't exist -- it's really sad. D:

It was imperitive to my sanity for someone to put those books in their place. You have done tha, not once but twice, more internets for you <3

Oh man, it's been done many times before. This one girl has done chapter-by-chapter snarks, so you don't even need to read the books but get a good idea anyways. So, here, commit to SPARKLE MOTION: http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/Twilight#Bookdiscussionentries

You know, I'm glad that I could only get through the first book a grand total of one and a half times. Granted I might have to fight temptation to see the movie since Kristen Stewart is in it but... I am going to stick with the Anita Blake series for bad smut in overabundant supply and vampires thank you very much. At least those books have some plot even if you only end up with half the book if you were to remove the smut from it.

I've already decided there are ver few good vampire books ANYWHERE (and certainly none of the romantic kind), except for Bram Stoker's Dracula (which, incidentally, Smeyer has NEVER read - can you tell?), Charlane Harris' From Dead to Worse series, BUNNICULA, The League of Extroadinary Gentlemen comic, and possibly this one book that I saw in a cramped little bookstore back in my hometown that looks wicked awesome (a huge community of vampires who raise humans for food, but one poor chump ends up catching an escaped kid and raises her as his own; it has a juicebox with blood dripping out the straw on the cover) and I keep meaning to buy but it always slips my mind.

I was going to go see the movie to laugh at the sparkles, but then I hear that they weren't even going to put the sparkles in, so now I'm going to see it to laugh. And feel bad for the poor guy that plays Edward -- I've seen some of the interviews with him, and it sounds like he doesn't even LIKE the Twilight series, and now he's got even 40-year-old women saying that

Isn't that one book called Vamped? I know my friend has it and she said it was really good.
