Edward Cullen Can Eat My Shorts

Twilight, oh Twilight. What is there to say about this series?

I had promised a good friend of mine that I would read the first book. We had a deal -- if I read Twilight, then she would have to read Little Women. I was feeling pretty damn sneaky, considering Twilight is a teen book I could probably get through in a day, and Little Women is a sizable novel that, in my opinion, is a pure classic. So I borrowed the book from my friend, sat down one Saturday afternoon, and began reading.

I made it through about eight chapters before I had to put it aside. I haven't picked it up since. And I'm sitting here, trying to think of what I could possibly say that hasn't been said already -- the quality of Stephanie Meyer's writing (poor), the plot line (dull), the characters (duller than the plot) -- and I've decided that someone else has said it better than I possibly could. For those who have any sort of Twilight-curiosity, THIS is pretty much all you need to know about the series.

Enjoy the review, it sure gave me a laugh.
