Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" = SRZ BSNZ
May. 6th, 2008 02:11 pmA while back, I posted a review of a certain love-it-or-hate-it YA novel on Goodreads. (I posted the review here, too.) After a lull, I started receiving some truly hilarious comments:
I liked your review but not your language.
This is a YOUNG ADULT book. If you want sex, go buy danielle steele. it is not appropriate to have steamy sex scenes in a YA book. I didn't realize there were people who needed it that badly in a book that they will say a book sucks because of it. too bad for jane austen. she could have been WAY more famous and sold more more books if she just would have porned it up a bit.
But the real kicker came today:
what's wrong with you people. this is an amazing book and all you guys are concentrated on are your misconceptions and hypocritical view points. seriously i doubt any of you didn't like the book, it's just you're too stubborn to really think about the book (or anything else for that matter), or maybe you're just all liars (and bad ones at that). either way, i don't like any of you, and i judge you all. and I'm not sorry for it.
Do you hear that? He judges us ALL. Noes!
ETA: Mr. "I judge you all!" has posted another comment in response to something someone else said in the thread, though he seems to think he is still responding to me:
first of all, i will have fun reading Eragon, thank you very much. secondly, i could have spent a long time giving you a list of proof to back up my claims, however i don't like to waist my time trying to teach stubborn people who are incapable of looking deep into a situation (in this case a book). also, you seem pretty obsessed about this book, considering how much you like to talk about it, be it good or bad. you know what i think, i think that you really love this book, you just wish you didn't cause maybe your friends don't like it, or maybe you think people will laugh at you, whatever the reason is i have a feeling that I'm right. lastly, i don't hate you because you don't like Twilight, i don't like you because if you didn't like Twilight that means there's a good chance you don't like Bella, therefore you can't be like Bella in many ways (unless you hate yourself), and since Bella has almost every good quality a person can have it's possible, if not probable, that you are a terrible person. have fun slaughtering puppies.
So, we are judged, and judged PUPPY-SLAUGHTERERS. This gets more delightful by the second!
On a semi-related note: seriously, what did people do at work before there was shit to look at on the internet? Today I have had David Caruso putting on his sunglasses over and over, the Doctor's excitement over his potential crotch void (warning: possible S4 spoilers), and this alarmingly fat cat, and I am still bored out of my skull. How did ANYONE keep a desk job before the invention of the interwebs? A theory: The answer relates to why it used to be okay to drink on one's lunch break.
