Don't take offense to me asking this but....did you read all/any of the books??? (you never mentioned in your post whether you did or not)
"and goes all zombified for about three months. And there are blank pages in the book to represent this. ... ... ... I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be pretty pissed if I'd forked out for a book and discovered that the author had foregone actual writing and descriptiveness and any kind of freakin attempt at metaphor and just filled it up with blank pages."
In New Moon after Edward leaves Bella she has four pages with just "November" "December" "January" "February"
and thats all they say as if nothing has happened without Edward. It was quite effective. But anyway I haven't finished the series so I reserve judgement until I have. I've got to admit tho, I don't really know what all the fuss is about.
Wow I just had a flashback to Augustan and Restoration tutorials *shudder* ... At least I think it was that one?
Never got too far into Tristram Shandy either, I have to admit, but I imagine he had slightly less shallow motivations... maybe.
I agree, that's why it takes her the whole series to get to any kind of sex scene, and while she may not be the first to use this technique to draw in the willing public she's gotta be one of the most annoying.
... You must be starting to think all I ever do is moan ^_^ unfortunately it's true!
I regret to say I haven't, I got about 5 pages before I was throwing it off the wall and ranting (metaphorically, of course I didn't actually buy the book). I've only read bits of it and seen the film which was a barrel full of lawls, so I know I'm in no position to judge and all that, but it annoys me that it's clearly mills and boon amateaur romance that's become a phenomenon and that daft woman is going to be a millionaire while much more talented writers' work will never see the light of a publisher's good will.
I enjoy hating it, is the sad truth, and I think a lot of it is justified, but I don't really expect anyone to agree ^_^
Haha! See that just annoys me - like nothing else is worth noting when Edwards not around, I just want to smack her and tell her to stop whining and get over it =P
haha, fantastic comments my dear! well Twilight is another one of those things that I know nothing about...having avoided anything related to it, and I have it on the pile of 'Mainstream Oddities That I Avoid Yet Throw A Bemused And Curious Glance Upon' that I keep in the wilderness of my imagination. The pile consists thusly, in no particular order;
Twilight High School Musical Zac Efron Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana X Factor Britains Got Talent American Idol Football Lily Allen Dancing On Ice
I hate Twilight too. Someone i know kept getting on at me to watch the film, and i did, and i hated it. It was soooo shit, and their vampires suck! So i wouldnt even want to waste my time reading the books either.
