Oh, where do I start? It's not just enjoying the carefully put together plots of other books, it's growing up, knowing more, learning more; it takes away from the enthusiasm. Of course this book was pointed at teenagers and under, not young adults, because at that age we haven't acquired enough knowledge to grasp Stephenie Meyer's poor writing style. What I (think) I'm saying, what I've been trying to say all along my short history of 'open-minded when it comes to Twilight' is that, of course, there are books that are meant to be read by a certain category of people. When Twilight is pointed at "young adults", then it should be encapsulating elements and grammar for such a group of people. Sometimes it's going purple prose, thinking that writing it otherwise would be too simple, most of the times it's all easily figured out. That does not make for a good book, where the things written are in balance. What I think (from some personal experience), is that, when you're infatuated with a certain character and you know it's the main character, then you can skip the story, everything revolves around that character, so things should be made up as the character goes along, basically writing around it. Then, when you're infatuated with the story, it definitely comes out better. At least make it clear it's all about that character, you shouldn't pay that much attention to any others. I don't want to bring Harry Potter into this, but the series is called "Harry Potter and...", and then I know what to expect, I will know for sure that's the main character, and then I can be free to look at other characters as I please. But then when you read the back of the cover of Twilight and it says that Bella moves to Forks and such, sure, I think it's probably about her, but then when I read the book, I get frustrated: is it really just about her? What about that character there, or that one? I want to know about them, give me details woman! And leave out Bella's shopping trip because it's totally uninteresting. Well this is getting long, so I'm just gonna stop here.:| Maybe blog about it.
