HelpRe: ...Ledger. (m)
in reply to a message by Lily
I only read half of the first book, so no, I didn't know that. Add Edward and Bella (and Stephenie Meyer, by extension) to the list of people who totally misinterpret the novel. No, it is not the most romantic thing ever. It's brooding and dark, and passionate, yes, but not romantic . Not really.
Ugh. I'll get off my soapbox, now.

I'm pretty sure Stephenie Meyer misinterprets Romeo and Juliet in a later book too, so it wouldn't be too surprising. Bella *reads* these classic books, look how smart. SMeyer likes using allusion but is also extremely lazy.
She apparently has a degree in English literature and I kind of wonder how.

She has an English degree in literature because she got that degree from Brigham Young University, AKA Mormons Forever University (w00t!). As anyone who has been part of the LDS church (and I was, for quite a few years) would tell you, if they were honest with themselves, getting a degree at BYU is not at all like getting a degree at a "regular" university. Lots of credits are fulfilled by religious classes.

BFD. A lot of stupid people read. That doesn't count as character development.
