Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Twilight *groan*

So's... we haven't really had any "heated discussions" in a while and the CB's dying again so I thought that this thread might sort of make things a little more, er, interesting, oui?

Anyways, I rented the book from my school library and I'm a bit past halfway through. I'm giving up on it. The beginning's okay I guess, and it's interesting, but *groan* when I got to the part where Edward sparkles I just gave up. Well, I didn't actually because I needed a book to read for English (the period after) and I didn't really have any other books- I finished Extras and we're not allowed to read French books in English- so... I read a tiny bit more. I think Edward just dropped Bella after he piggy-backed her through the forest. I pretty much just skimmed through that entire chapter.

But vampires SPARKLE? I thought it was weird when I first heard it, but then I read it: "It looked like diamonds" (<-or something like that. I know SMeyer used the word 'diamonds') I'm sorry but in my head!canon of anything that has to do with vampires, they don't sparkle. Unless it's Twi!Canon sadly.

More on head!canon: The Bella in my mind didn't look like the person who played Bella in the movies! I'm so proud of that, especially since the actress is on the front cover. My head!canon Bella switches between Becca from Vampires Suck and a faceless, really pale girl with brown hair.

I can't say the same for Edward though. He switches from the guy in the movies and the one from Vampires Suck. Or he's a mix. *shudder*

Charlie looks like the one from the movies. 

So a summary of my thoughts: The book's average- actually pretty interesting- in the beginning, but once Bella and Edward actually become friends, it just goes downhill. Or maybe I have an issue with romance? But nevermind me, what're you lot's thoughts on Twilight?

Oh, and if you're easily offended, you might want back away a bit. :P
