Twilight
Everybody's heard of...
Everybody's heard of Twilight, right? It's, like, the second or third most popular book in the world (other than HP and Eragon). A classic vampire story- with a twist. Modern vampires that drink animal blood and a romance between a human and a vampire. Funny too. I <3 it! Too bad I haven't read Breaking Dawn, the latest book in the series. Has anyone read it? Is it good?

The new Twilight book to me, personally was the best one out of the series. I wish it had a little bit more of a twist. But it was still really good! You should read it!

I don't like the ending. There has to be more! I mean, it's a great book, but Bella isn't that lucky. How come we don't even get an epilogue?

I love Twilight!
Have you heard the movie is coming out in November!

TWILIGHT IS A BOOK THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. I LOVE THE IDEA AND I WANT MORE BOOKS THAT ARE IN THIS SERIES. THOUGH I CAN'T BUY THEM BECAUSE I'M IN KOREA...

Different? The basic plot goes:
1 Hapless teenager falls in love.
2 Love object is a creepy vampire.
3 Stuff happens.
4 Hapless teenager gets married, has a baby, and gets turned into a vampire.
5 Happy ending and much "squee"-ing on the part of readers.
Delete the "vampire" bit and you have a basic teen romance. Eh... Not so different, after all.

I can understand how you say that Twilight is like other romance stories, but what makes it different is that it is written so amazingly. For example, Edward is so real to me that I dream about him almost every single night.

Edward's an idiot. A masochistic idiot, I might add. I prefer Dracula, thanks very much.

Yo, TNO person, you don't know what you're saying. Seriously. Do you really live in deep space? Is your real name TNO? I may be younger than you, but I probably have more common sense.

Dude, DRACULA! DRACULA! Bram Stoker, read it. Read it NOW.
No, of course I don't live in Deep Space, I live in Wyoming. It's a joke, you know, because Wyoming is the least populated state... Meh?
And no, my real name is Haley, TNÖ stands for The Nearly Omnipotent.
As to common sense, well, all I can say is... Well, actually I'm not sure that's allowed strictly speaking, so never mind. *shifty eyes* But common sense doesn't even begin to factor into it. How does common sense relate to seeing that Dracula is a much, much better (written, at least) character than Edward?
None of the characters CHANGE. Bella's all "Oooooh, Edward!" throughout THE ENTIRE SERIES. NOTHING remotely vampiric gets described. The ONLY reason those books are so popular is because everyone wants a shiny vampire of their own. Except me, because, like I said, I prefer Dracula.

Dude, I have seen the Dracula movie. Can we say H-O-K-E-Y? Twilight is sooo much cooler. Intensity, romance, not to mention right and wrong conflicting with relationship? Awesomeness!
(December 10, 2008 - 6:54 pm)
Er... Not talking about the movie. Talking about the BOOK, by BRAM STOKER. BOOK! BOOKBOOKBOOKBOOKBOOK!
Twilight? Intense? Heehee. No. Just... No. Sappy. Soppy. Sleepy. *snore*
Dracula = Awesomeness!
Twilight = Eh.

I don't want a sparkly vampire. The only sparkly vampire I want is a dead sparkly vampire /morbidness/

Common sense? You may, but, come on, you're only nine! Learn to laugh! Of course TNO isn't her name! And obviously she doesn't live in deep space! "TNO person" has a sense of humor. Is that really so bad? Watch, even though I know that it will drive you crazy, I'm going to change the location spot whenever I see you, to help your sense of humor expand.

*kicks self for being on here instead of writing*
Oh, she's NINE. Ok, that makes more sense. I need to look at peoples ages, I s'pose.
"TNO person". XD
Anyway. Nine, yes, obviously she wouldn't be able to distinguish between tripe and diamonds... heh...
Still, I maintain, everyone needs to read Dracula before they start raving about *hem* the Twilight books. Dracula! weeeeee!
Oh, and Bill didn't end up getting Twilight first-run. Watch me gloat, heehee. *dances around happily, despite horizontal position on bed*
*grins* Caffeine? Me? No, not at all.
