"Why - so - serious?"

[teenagelogic]

For reasons I think it best not to explain, I have been going around exclaiming "VIVE LA REVOLUCION!" for the past 24 hours.

Other thing: I'm kinda late to the Dark Knight party but, really, I wasn't as blown away as everyone seems to think I should've been. Mainly I was (a) loving the SWAT team van driver guy, (b) being pleased about

(d) wondering what's so fantabulous about Christian Bale (I mean, he's cool, but, IDK?).
I will forgive your . . . blindness, for the sake of our friendship. But be warned, thin ice, young lady. Thin ice.

I really don't know what to think of Breaking Dawn so far.
I liked the first three, but this book literally was the single worst book I've ever read in my life. It drifted so far out of the universe Meyer created that I couldn't even read past the first Belle section. Bleugh.

Haha, I somehow knew you would say that. I think maybe I was just put off by the strange Bat-voice. Anytime Batman spoke I kind of wanted to offer him a cough sweet...

It really is weirdly different, isn't it? I'm going to have to finish it before I judge, but... It doesn't actually feel like the fourth book in the series, it's kind of like this floating other thing that could've been written by a different person for all the differences from the first three. The first Bella section particularly is kind of like reading all the "andthentheyhadsex" Eclipse fanfiction that you so know is out there.

I will admit that when I heard the bat-voice, I had a mild hissy fit. Then Bruce Wayne came along and I calmed. And melted.

I just think Meyer trolled ff.net for ideas, frankly. I mean, I haven't hated a book more. I may be over-exaggerating, but I really do despise the book and the plot. It's so unbelievably stupid. It's literally her fantasy written on paper. It's perverse.

Haha. Bruce Wayne = inexplicably awesome, y/y?

I know, I kind of felt like it was about Meyer and not Bella, too. (Let me tell you, she gets a lot less Bella-like as the book progresses. I barely recognised her by the end through the OMGBABYMOTHERHUSBANDWIFE of it all. She's nineteen, FFS.) Now that I know what happens, I think I might just go back to my happy place in the first 3 books and pretend Breaking Dawn never came out, tbh.

Sometimes I need to see what other people think about things before I can form sensible opinions (other than "VAMPIRES!!!")

OMG ME TOO. I haven't even read Eclipse yet though, so I'm hardly close to forming any opinions about Breaking Dawn.

When you've read Eclipse, take a moment to savour the series so far before you crack on with Breaking Dawn, that's all I'm sayin'. Having finished BD now... IDK. I'm very conflicted by the whole thing, and not in the good, angsty kind of way.
