Twilight (Twilight#1)

Title: Twilight
Author: Stephanie Meyer

My Rating: 2 stars




Twilight was a melancholy and oppressive book. It was also frustrating, depressing, tolerable, amusing and even adequate at times.Edward Cullen was awful to the point of Mt Everest- I mean he freaking stalks Bella! Jeez! And he obviously suffers from severe bipolar, constipation, trauma and much worse... He was just creepiness wearing an armor of yellow eyes and white skin.

And Bella Swan...where do I even begin? Bland, with a self-esteem that sinks to the Earth's core and just plain weird, she made me cry at her sad personality and whatever else that made her so...her. She never created a coherent sentence in 95% of the book; she just 'mumbled' or 'muttered' or 'whispered'. And she feels oh-I'm-so-special-that-he-cannot-stay-away-from-me in all the scenarios where Edward expresses that he wishes to kill her or confesses to stalk her.


The rest of the book- which was like 0.5% of it, actually had some sense in it, and I mean the part where she talks about the contents of her closet.

The plot was ridiculously plain and it dragged on and on and on. I mean all that ACTUALLY happen is-

1. Girl meets boy
2. Boy indirectly humiliates girl
3. Boy and girl become besties and make plans to go shopping
4. Girl finds about the oh-so-predictable secret of boy being vampire
5. Conflictions (boy is pretty and girl is plain), (boy wants to devour girl because her blood smells yummy)
6. Bad vamp tries to kill girl.
7. Boy saves girl and kills bad vamp.
8. Boy and girl go to prom.

Anyways, I still don't really know how I feel about twilight so my rating keeps changing.
