50 Shades of Grey - kinda curious on everyone's thoughts
Pengi:
I just now saw the bit about Nick screaming in ecstasy over the word "Mine" being carved into his flesh. First off, I read the word "mine" in a seagull voice from Finding Nemo.
Mine! Mine! Mine!
Second, Nick's kinky enough that he really *would* like that. He'd be like "oh dude, a new tatto!"
:crazy:
Purpura Lipstick:

mare:
Howie! Duh lol

That said, I had a hard time trying to reread them. I'm the kind of reader who reads good books over and over again, but they just didn't hold my attention like they did the first time. I think the reason I read them so fast was just to see how the storyline would turn out, not because they were actually good. Turns out, the way the storyline ends is a huge letdown that makes the other books basically pointless, and Edward is a huge creeper. Even Jacob is creepy by the end. I've still seen all the movies (and yes, Breaking Dawn Part 1 was really bad), but I believe people who make fun of them are completely justified in doing so LOL.

I completely agree with you on the ending. As I mentioned before, I read Twilight to answer questions that rose up in youth group, and I was OBSESSED. I LOVED the books. And then I read #4. You remember the term "jumped the shark"? The point when a storyline becomes so ridiculous, it jumped the shark, ala Fonzi in Happy Days? I totally think that Twilight jumped the shark, like Stephenie herself said "Shit, I've been writing this crap too long, I must shove every happy ending into this last book so I can finally be done with it!" and voila, Breaking Dawn... When I read Breaking Dawn, I went from loving Twilight and telling everyone how great it was into making fun of it. And now to try and make it through a fanfic... *sigh* Let's see if I can actually read chapter 2, I've started it twice...
