i loved kellen rice’s “twilight sucks…” as well as “twilight: a follow up…” intelligent, spot on an funny. all of it.

there is everything wrong with those books – the intellectual in my brain says. yet, i read them all cover to cover, the same way i gratefully devour people magazine, us and any other trashy magazine in my dentist’s waiting room or while waiting in line in a supermarket.

there is everything wrong with those books – if we consider them literature.
but they are no literature – they are a piece of crap. a consumer product. a very successful one.

this is a consumer society we live in. kids in this society grow up eating crap food and drinking crap sodas. they grow up watching crap on television and dvd’s, listening to crap on most radio stations and their own ipods. it’s very sad. but what can you do? move in with the denali coven?

there are days when i just do go to mcdonals. and i even drink coke. i’ve decided not to worry and feel about it anymore.

You do realize that you just contradicted yourself, Rebecca.

“You are utterly absurd, Bella,” Edward chuckled, his eyes sparkling with barely contained chagrin.
“Oh, Edward,” I murmured, gazing with adoration, his topaz eyes searing my very soul.

Did I do it right?! =)

Oh, Ms. Rice, you brilliant woman!

I respect your opinion, but I don’t think it is necessary to attack Stephenie Meyer’s writing style just because it isn’t the way you think it should be written. Some people don’t like the way she writes while others love it and all their opinions matter, but I feel you could have expressed your distaste in a more diplomatic and less rude way. I understand you are trying to make a statement, but you could have done it better.
