"The hottest guy in modern lit is Edward Cullen, and he sparkles."

Interesting (rest is my favorite. I won't get any once/if I ever get a job though) article. It examines why Twilight is awesome but also why it sucks.

I think the why it sucks part is lacking because it just targets Edward. If the lady who wrote the why it sucks part read New Moon, then she might have different opinions on the series as a whole. Poor wolfies don't get any reprisentation :(

On a somewhat relative note, my friend has started and has almost finished the series in less than a week. She loves Edward because he is "perfect" but openly admits that he is creepy. Which is good and very perceptive. More people should think that way. I, just like most of you, denied Edward's creepiness for a long time. Typically, she thought Jake was the annoying rebound guy but felt bad for him during Eclipse. I can't wait to see what she thinks of Breaking Dawn...somebody accidently spilled that Bella gets pregnant and has a hybrid. Ha.

FUN FACT: Stephenie modelled Nessie after Pearl from The Scarlet Letter. We just read it in English and Pearl creeps me out. Nessie is weird but she's not that much of a demon child.

Whoa!!!!! That is so crazy! We just finished reading The Scarlet Letter in my lit. class, and the whole time, I was thinking "Gee, she really reminds me of Nessie." lol
