Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

WHAT THE SHIT??

Hahahahahahah! Sorry, P-C, I laugh only because I read the whole thing.

I mean, I read about the baby earlier, and I guess I didn't find that too crazy, but I didn't know it was a demon baby that was going to eat its way out of Bella's belly or something. And then Bella becomes a vampire?? That's how you resolve your epic human/vampire romance? I mean, it's one thing to let Angel become human, but...ARE VAMPIRES NOT BAD AT ALL IN THIS UNIVERSE OR SOMETHING?

I sort of feel sorry for the people who read the whole series now. At least the ones who read it seriously and expected a good resolution and whatnot.

Punishingly Intricate

It has the worst final line of a book, EVAR.

What is it??? I'm dying to know now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wow. Granted that I haven't read the Twilight books, only the recaps/synopses/spoilers, but still -- that shit sounds even WORSE than the Anita Blake books, which I didn't actually think was possible.

WRT the actual birth of the baby it totally makes me wonder how awful SM's experience with childbirth must have been.

lisah: And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.

Smug much?

Oh my GOD. Wow.

I mean, okay. I have never written a book, let alone a series. And I suppose I could conceive of doing what she did. But I have to believe I could come up with something better. Surely.
