Question

Who else thinks Twilight the series is incrediably dull?
This book is so lame. The characters have unpredictable mood swings, the love story is corny excuse my lack of a better word for it, everybodys so NICE out of the realm of reality, there is a lack of plot and character development, and the writing style is so amateur...

Answer

I agree with everything.brbrThe mood swings are mostly Edwards and my theory is that it was intended to make him seem more mysterious and therefore intriguing, quotbadboyquotish, and... hot. It backfired, though, into what everybody besides obessors now knows as Eddie The Controlling, Over Protective, Not To Mention Abusive, Vampire.brbrThe story is kind of corny, true. But the overuse of the adjectives makes it worse. Lack of plot and character development, absolutely. What I dont understand is how people fall for the quotlove at first sightquot thing Smeyer decides to throw at us. I mean, really. The characters are already unrealistic. That just makes it even worse!brbrAnd the writing. I dont even want to try and count how many dashes Smeyer uses between sentences, and each time she uses it, she could just as easily use a semicolon, comma, or break the sentence up into two separate ones. No reason to keep using a dash. Why didnt the editor say anything? Is that supposed to be acceptable?brbrEddie. Hes alright. I think people go a little overboard with calling him abusive, but more because I know hes not supposed to be. Its another mistake Smeyer made. But what I really hate are his mood swings and the fact that he doesnt let an already lowselfesteemgirl make her own decisions. Which adds to his controlling personality.brbrAnd last, but most certainly not least, it IS dull. If the characters had more dimension to them, the book wouldnt be dull, and I think the fact that the book barely has a plot could be excused. The fact that she lies about everything to everyone adds to that, and so theres no excitement, no twist in the story. Imagine if the perceptive Angela found out that Edward was a vampire? What then? But no. No twists. Why? Because its Eddiepoo and Belly thats it.brbrTwilight had potential. The weak characters and plot ruined it, though.brbrEdit I feel like I just wrote a review for the book XD Woops. Went overboard.
