alliancesjrOkay, here we go. The Sparklening Part The Second.
Chapter Two
@alliancesjr: The next day was better and worse. THE NEXT DAY WAS BETTER AND WORSE.
A lot of what I have a problem with in Twilight - I mean, aside from the obvious stuff - is Stephanie Meyer's writing style. I couldn't get past page two the last time I tried reading this, and that's because it really goes against my grain. Be prepared for a lot of my complaints to be along those lines.
Okay, I SERIOUSLY have a problem with the nickname Chess Club Eric. We already know he had Chess Club Eyes and Oil Slick Colored Hair. Seeing as that was pretty much me in high school...I'm taking this kind of personally. But still...HOW CAN YOU HAVE CHESS CLUB EYES? I CANNOT GROK THIS.
@alliancesjr: "I had no practice dealing with overly-friendly boys." GEE, I WONDER WHY. I see what you mean, Cleo: Zero to Bitch in Three Seconds = n/a.
This chapter is kind of like Watership Down, actually; a whole lot of words to describe pretty much nothing happening. Disclaimer: I liked Watership Down, but the story was over and there was still half the book left.
@alliancesjr: OH NO EW GROSS SNOW. Everyone I know that has had Weather Culture Shock still loved their first snowfalls.
Okay, so I lied about giving her a pass about the weather. I'm really partial to my snow; I'd miss it if it was gone.
@alliancesjr: Okay. Now I get it. I -get- it. It's the "Oh no the boy is picking on me stop picking on me WHY ARE YOU NOT GIVING ME ANY ATTENTION ANYMORE"
@alliancesjr: The hair again. Bella's obsession is with Edward's hair. That's gotta be the secret; he uses L'oreal (because he's WORTH IT).
Okay, sometimes her writing can be clever. The whole "Mind if I look?" dual-exchange in Biology class got a chuckle out of me in the movie - because I honestly thought it was funny, not because it was bad. Same thing when I was watching Daredevil with Dayna; she looked at me and accused me of laughing at a humorous part in that even though the rest of it was so bad. I REGRET NOTHING.
@alliancesjr: ...Well played, Meyer. I laughed at this in the movie and it's still amusing here. I'll grant you this.
@alliancesjr: GOLDEN TOPAZ BUTTERSCOTCH EYES. hahahahahahahahahaha
@alliancesjr: No, Edward, she's not suffering more than she appears. She's not holding anything back. She's Bitchface McGee.
Okay, this chapter seemed shorter than the last one. Taking a break, regardless.
