Apex Saga
How do people not love Twilight?
Here is a copy and paste from one of my answers discussing Twilight:
“[The Twilight books] are the apex of human literary achievement. Goethe lies jealous in his grave and Bram Stoker jitters from jealousy in his dingy crypt. ‘Why, why, why, why,’ asks Stoker in a deathly state, ‘could I have not come up with SPARKLING vampires?’
These books are like the rising sun of Western literature. They decimated the works of every writer from that Greek bard who we call Homer to that misanthrope named Joseph Heller. With simple keystrokes on a word processor, Stephenie Meyer has swept away all previous books and volumes and anthologies of poetry compiled by man in his petty history as if they were simple flies on her shoulders. She has replaced those ruins, those remnants of the past with a wonderful saga – the Twilight saga.”
How do people not see this great colossal achievement as… a great colossal achievement? I am perplexed!
Hun, those who don’t like Twilight, and I’m speaking in behalf of myself as well, are those who love a more constructed literature.
We enjoy well written and rock solid stories, not a teenage romance series.
I was in love with Vampires when they were vicious and blood thirsty.
Twilight has shot that tradition in the face and replaced it with a terrible book of grammar explaining the dank life of a mary sue and her glitter-rific boy toy Edward.
I love the gothic works of Dracula and Edgar Allan Poe. Twilight is just a wimpy piece of literature to me.
It was terribly written and the story line was a rerun of plain yet random events. Nothing was planned but taped together in a mess. Random event after Random event occurred only to keep a story, that should have taken only one or two books at the most, into a drafty series.
That horrible series was then converted into a line of horrible movies.
Stephanie Meyer has an undeserving success.
