The Tentacled Monkey

What follows is a list of articles and reviews to show why Twilight is a worthless piece of crap.

I was going to look for more but seriously, after that last review my job is done. She paints a picture of Twilight as some Mormon hypnosis book that will train young girls to “act as they’re supposed to.” Oh, and she completely trashes the novel. Did I mention it was a bad fucking book, full of shallow unrealistic characters, a Mary-Sue for fuck’s sake, and even introduces the villain 5 chapters from the end? It sucks too, not sure if anyone got that yet.

But now I am going to digress. The best part of doing a little bit of research is that all of these posts have some of the best comments known to the interweb. Seriously enjoy.

• http://duncanheights.com/blog/?p=1582 – “PS: Edward sparkles. Literally. He literally sparkles in the sun. As if he wasn’t perfect enough without looking like a walking diamond.”
• http://www.hereticalideas.com/2008/10/book-review-twilight/ — “Meyer’s writing style reminds me of what would happen if a Harlequin Romance was mashed with the Flowers in the Attic series.” This is a brutal review, I love it!
