Twilight:: superlike it?? or dislike it??
I would be really biased in saying anything about twilight right now, because not only I have read all the books of the twilight series more than just thrice and know most of the quotes too but also I have gone through as many as possible spoofs that have sprung as a result of the publicity of the series. Oh! so come to think of it, I might actually be the right person for writing something about it.
Initially I liked it a lot, which was pretty much the reason for the number of reads i gave to those books and even I like any other girl fell into the Edward\Robert obsession, but then I started reading the other vampire literature and also the spoofs available on twilight and to be quite frank, being a quite proud Twilight fan myself I could not help myself laughing out loud, particularly when reading the same things in that books again keeping the spoof in mind. Some of them were hilarious.
They offer you with a general idea of how to make a Bestseller novel with no whatsoever literary benefits to readers - Like mixing ingredients of a truly self-conscious and selfish female lead who is also very clumsy for reasons unknown to mankind, with a perfect to-die-for handsome male lead who is also an extremely powerful and dangerous vampire, (readers love that part) Also throw in some mythical special effects like some werewolves etc. and some love and friendship issues between the characters. Also bring in some high school scenes and prom details , if the story if the story is meant for young adults, they love that and also garnish it with a few villains to keep the readers distracted from the otherwise boring plot.
And finally don't forget but keep telling how perfect Edward is or people will lose interest in him ;)
and there, you have your complete twilight.
I can't even believe I used to be a fan and now here I am writing a spoof on it myself :)
If you still find this unsatisfying, you might just notice one small thing in the whole series, apart from the fact that Bella is pale the writer does not even describe her completely, how is a person (who has not seen the movie)even supposed to imagine her? pale?
