| @hannibal_heyes: You're not an idiot because you disagree with me. You're an idiot because:
1. You like book that involves two-dimensional romance, no character depth (except possibly that blond girl and the spiky-haired chick) and a mindset that encourages a person to date a creep that watches them while you sleep.
2. Alright, fine. I can live knowing people like the book. The problem is that you think it's equal to Harry Potter. A complex, imaginative, beautiful story that isn't focused on some girl who can't decide between two guys, who just so happen to be mythical creatures.
3. I don't mind vampires, but I'll stick to Dracula, thanks. Where vampires do what they are supposed to do. And where predators don't fall in love with their prey and vice versa. At least Buffy the Vampire Slayer came up with a reason for a human and a vampire to date. Edward and Bella? That's like me and the cow from which I got my milk.
4. Vampires don't sparkle. Really? That's Tinkerbell, people. Pixies, yes, vampires, no.
5. JKR is the (wo)man. Meyer is a nutjob. That reference to Wuthering Heights? Thrown in there. She clearly doesn't understand the point of the book. Falling in love with creepy, mysterious men= bad. JKR? She has books, including WH, on her shelf that she understands and everyone loves. Catch-22, David Copperfield, Robinson Crusoe, Manxmouse, LotR, Shakespeare, and various collections of short stories, fairy tales, and mythology. And many more. I'll stick with the genius, thanks. |
