- above the influence:
- Vampire Kisses ... I didn't like it - it was really, really cliche...
Oh my God, agreed. At the end of it (yes... I actually got to the end), I was just like, "wow, I've read less cliche stuff on fanfiction.net."
- YaoiRox666:
- Twilight!!
And anything else by the author of it.
Ihate despise that so-called "book" with a fucking passion!
It's stupid, the characters are all shallow bitches that all deserve to die. Bella makes me want to ram her head into a brick wall. Edward isn't sexy but stupid and annoying. The plot is nothing but a stupid cliche vampire story with a predictable ending of, "OMG Edward!!!!! I want to screw you and have your babies and become a vampire, too!!!!!!!!!!"
This "book" isn't written that well, and doesn't even deserve to be on the shelves - let alone get turned into a movie. And, let's face it, these days you don't have to write anything with a actual good storyline or actually well written for that matter.
Other books:
Harry Potter - I don't see the hype about it. I couldn't even finish book one because it was so boring.
A Separate Peace - I was told I would love this book because [I think] it takes place at an all-boys school. It just wasn't good. I was confused a lot and it was just boring.
I can understand why everyone thinks Edward is sexy, but frankly I don't think anyone really developed much as a character.
Bella makes me want to bang my head against the wall. She has like, no flaws at all. People without flaws are the most boring characters ever. Apparently she was "clumsy", but she never even hurt herself through the whole thing. It was just an excuse for Edward to carry her places. What the hell.
I only read Twilight, and apparently that's the best one (according to people I've watched on the boards) so I'm not really expecting anything better from it.
This book is okay if you want a shallow, mary-sue romance. =/
I think it was an improvement on the above-mentioned Vampire Kisses though.
And I love Harry Potter - but I agree, the first book is really boring. I started reading it when I was like, eight or something, so of course that seemed like excellent writing to me. It improves as you go on, but if you start reading it too late, it's really difficult to get past the first two books.
Okay, wait, I've got a new book that I don't like.
C.H.E.R.U.B.S
There are some books that leave me feeling nauseous for some unknown reason. This is one of them, to be honest. I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I got it recommended to me, but I thought it was horrible.
