i've never read beyond the book twilight, and now hearing some stuff about what's actually going on in the next few books gave me a shock.

seriously, these are a few of the most popular books in the world now? clearly our reading tastes have gone down the drain.

there's edward cullen, a vampire who sparkles. (wtf i didn't sign up for sparkling vampires. that's too fucking gay. i like my vampires spike-style.)

bella swan, apparently an idiot who can't spell danger.

then in comes jacob black, and we have a love triangle.

there's also abuse going on (for god's sake edward is abusing bella. mentally and physically and psychologically and i don't know what else. look at the control tactics and every shit he pulls. and how he demands his every way.) then we have them GETTING MARRIED. at 18 (not edward. who the fuck cares how old he is he is some old shit.) and pregnant as well.

i don't know how to explain my distaste for this series but this just sounds like a shitty teenie made-in-america tv show. and people actually find this sort of shit romantic. pfft.

sure. dictatorship from your boyfriend is romantic. not being allowed to hang out with your friends is romantic. getting stared at while you're sleeping is romantic. (no it's not it's just extremely creepy) getting MARRIED and PREGNANT at 18 is romantic. (please in america you can't even drink at 18 you want to get married. you crazy arh.)

although maybe the turning into a vampire part is romantic. but i think i'll stake myself if it turns out that i sparkle.
