Stephanie Meyer's books read like some 14-year-old girl's private diary. There is no imagery or engaging prose, just a lot of angst and pining over boys. For 380 pages.
I think it should be mandatory reading for every guy to read one of Stephanie Meyer's books (especially Twilight) for two reasons:
1) To understand how the average teenage girl actually thinks
2) To be thoroughly creeped out by such thought processes |

That's why I can bash Ulysses, I don't have to bother with facts getting in the way of my opinion. :toothless
And I surely won't read that 700 page monstrosity to conform that it sucks hard. More so since I claim it's mostly unreadable. :) |
Ulysses is not the really unreadable one. That's Finnegans Wake. |

How do you know? Have you read it? Then it's not unreadable! :p
I guess he was just curious how far he could go. Would be interesting to know what his next work would have looked like. Probably a weird accumulation of symbols and letters, with the occasional pointless word or half-sentence inserted for good measure. :) |

I would be impressed if it was worse than the film, which was ing awful. |
I agree. Saying Dreamcatcher was awful is an insult to awful movies. |

| I once broke up with a girl because she bought me The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. I made it halfway through before realizing I hated her. |

Immortalité by Kundera: After being 175 pages deep, I decided to give up... what a bore, I couldn't get what it was all about... and this has supposedly won prizes and . ughghgh
Lira you're a retard, how can you give 1/5 for the best novel of the 20th century? Do you feel special by always trying to be in opposition to everyone else? (like wearing retarded shoes?)

That's a very compelling argument, so much so that it's hard to come up with a reply. I must assume that you've read everything I wrote in this thread (and the review I mentioned, which is available in my signature) and this was the best you could write. Obviously, I can't do any better than this, so I must concede my point.

Yes, I like to wear retarded shoes to make sure I'm known as an individual that sticks it to the man because no one's ever wore them the way I do. Likewise, I guess everyone here knows I do my best do be as disagreeable as possible with everybody just so I can show them I'm special.
This was both an incredible analysis of the book and a deconstruction of my arguments against it. Good job! |

| That's because I have other to do than waste my time on a ridiculous review... doing so would give you more credit than you really deserve. |

| I don't really know what this is all about, but I always love when the gist of someone's internet argument is that they have better things to do than waste time arguing over the internet. |

Lira expects everyone to write pages of pages of counter-arguments... anything less and he'll complain like you just did.
This is the ing c0r, 3 sentences replies MAX. |
