"Overly keen" is not strong enough. More like "hate it with every fibre of my being"

That's better.

stephenie meyer's books arent worth being considered paper aeroplane factories.

as you gaze at them land you will be forced to see the horrible text and you would rather set them on fire than see them take off again in one piece.

Twilight is not only bad but is in a way sexist, Bella can't do anything without Edward.

I've bought all the books in Twilight series. I thought it was "okay" at the beginning but in the end I found myself either skipping half of the book or falling asleep. The language that she used is way to simple and I felt like she spends chapters and chapter talking about one thing or some useless stuff. My science teacher even have an arguement in one lesson with the whole class last year about Twilight is not really a good book and stuff like that. But was funny =P

I tried to watch Twilight. It took me three separate occasions to get through the whole thing. I kept getting bored and wandering out of the room.

The worst scene is the one in the meadow where he acts like a nutjob and she says she trusts him (why, I don't know).
I was falling asleep in the cinemas from the half way through (for both movie)..... It was a waste of money.

My mate did the same for the first one. Though he liked the second one more.

""Meyer's fans have rushed to her defence. "Steven [sic] King doesn't know what a real book was if it hit him in the face. He's just a bloody guy who is jealous of Edward's good looks," wrote poster Kiki Alice Cullen. "King is no Gabriel Garcia Marquez so I don't understand why he gets to say who is a good writer and who is not," agreed another, while a third, who wished she could "just hit this guy", suggested that "we twilighters should send him tons of hate mail ... just to show him how many twilight fans he just pissed off.""

ARGHHHHHH! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! Bless Stephen King and his criticisms. Meyer must be hugely cut.

I can put up with the "Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Twilight is the shiznit" that I always run into whenever it becomes the topic of conversation, but I can't believe they're so ignorant to not know who Stephen King is.
And then proceed to call him jealous of a man who in every promotional photo has distorted and malaligned (can I use that word?) features.
Bleh.:chainsaw:

Cuz my friends said that the second one is way better than the first one. They used more technology and stuff like that. But after I watched it, I thought it was okay..... And now, I think I might learn from my mistake after I've watched the second one.
