I love vampires. I watch everything that has vampires in it and read a lot of vampire fiction. But this is about vampires? Really? It has nothing of what makes vampires interesting. In fact, it has nothing interesting at all. I read the first book and it was okay. Then I get to this one and have to read through pages and pages of whining, teenage angst over a guy she barely knows. I wanted to strangle the little b... Thank the gods I was never a teenager, because if that's what it's like, then I didn't miss a thing. Then she takes forever to realise that Jacob is a werewolf. Who didn't know by the end of the book? The saddest thing is that this horrible little girl has the same name as I do. I didn't read the whole thing, I gave up after page 200. I'm selling the book, because I never ever want to pick it up again. Just seeing it in the shops makes me cringe. Seriously, how can people be so in love with this series? Don't they have taste? I've read f...

When I went to see the movie, I had no idea what it was about other than vampires. I have always been a fan of vampire movies and stories. The sexuality, the suspense, the blood, it all fascinated me. I once wrote a little piece on vampires, the history of the figure, and that sort of things. A vampire always expressed hidden desires, mostly sexual ones. After I came out of the theatre, the only thing running through my head was; "What in the world was that?" Let's start with a story. I'm not going to spoil the thing to anyone, by saying that it's about a girl, who moves in with her dead to the middle of nowhere - Washington state. She meet an old friend, a Native American named Jacob. He has the hots for her. Then she goes to school, and every boy, including the mysterious Edward Cullen has the hots for her. Kind of cliche. Okay, very cliche. It's so obvious he's a vampire, even without the trailer I would have figured it out. The big scene is s...

I always read the bios of an author before reading anything from them. This makes me aware of where the author is coming from. I noticed that she graduated from Brigham Young University. Having studied Mormonism at the University, and read bios of ex-Mormons, so I know that it's a good device of indoctrination for them. So I'm thinking she's probably a Mormon, though it was never confirmed, just an assumption. For a majority of the book nothing happens. Painful descriptions of I have no idea what, because I only remember important things and I remember so little of this book. I may have been half asleep during it. The characters are shallow and show no development, the story boring and unoriginal, Meyer often uses words in bad context. The least of which is that the vampires are just lame. It picks up with the other vampires getting into town and you're hoping something is going to happen. Then it ends quite abruptly and you hope that Edward turns Bella and things get i...
