Twilight, the end.
Nov. 21st, 2009 08:55 pm370 pages in, and suddenly, there are actual vampires! 370 pages into a "vampire story" just under 500 pages long before it actually starts showing signs of becoming a vampire story.
On the other hand, whiny girl suddenly and inexplicably got considerably more competent (while crying incessantly, nonetheless) when her life was actually threatened.
Oh, and the baseball game was pretty much what I thought it would be, once I knew there was going to be one. Is the movie scene really worth bothering with?
What the bloody fuck? no. nonononono. You don't get the option of sucking the vampire back out of the bitch. of all the bullshitty bullshit!
And the whole prom thing was just ... meh. Back to the meh as soon as the real vampire was no longer involved. And what, by the way, is with denying me the fight scene? THE only fight in the entire damn book, (and what is a vampire story without some violence?!?) and it's not even described AT ALL? "Oh, yeah, well, they took care of it." She sets up this epic fucking battle with a hunter several hundred years old who's supposed to be such big shit the other vampires are all scared of him, and "oh, yeah, well, they took care of it?" God DAMN this woman does not know how to write a vampire story. Stupid freaking chick-lit crap.
My conclusion: I enjoyed 10 pages out of this 500 page book, and all of them centered around the "evil" vampire.
