Twilight

Let us start with a new, very popular book called, Twilight, the story of the sparkling monster and that girl.

Twilight, a book by Stephenie Meyer, author of other books like.... well, let's face it, she has only written the Twilight series. A very cliched, un-original romance novel with sparkling vampires and evil vampires. Already we have reached one of the deepest lows of the art of writing. I'll introduce you to someone, Bram Stoker, he created the idea of a vampire from old folk tales of Eastern Europe, creatures described as seductive, sinister, extremely pale, corpse-like and very charismatic that can mesmerize people just by looking them into the eyes. And then we have Twilight "vampires", which are described with words like HOT, one of the most vague descriptions you will ever read in any book. Of course, that's not the only bad description you could come up for a vampire, atleast they don't sparkle... *reads a bit more*.... damn.

Okay, so, already we are knee deep in pseudo-literature and poor description, maybe the story will save it. Let's see, a girl falls in love with a boy and wants to frolick with him and .... I can't finish that sentence without saying, IT HAS BEEN DONE!. So, the story is un-original all the way through, and there is no build-up for the first twist when *SPOILER* Edward turns Bella into a vampire *SPOILER* . Even the scenes trying to portray the everyday life of Edward, which I assume are there for other kids to try and feel like Edward, being in that kind of a situation, but I don't think that it works aswell as Stephenie thought. So, you can't even identify yourself with the characters unless you yourself are a very bland person with little personality. You want an example of a good story and one very similar, but original with characters you can identify with, Titanic, two people from different worlds coming together and experiencing love, developing. And Twilight is just two people, other one drooled on the other and grabbed one arm, kissed and stayed there. No actual character development or any kind of romantic situation(a vaguely described kiss is not a romantic situation!), so this book failed to deliver the one aspect of books that should always be there and the one thing the genre is known for.

So, that's it for Twilight, write to you people later.
