Life & Death Chapter 18

Posted on 05/06/2016 by vivisector

What was the point of the vampire baseball game? It got the vampires out into the woods with Bella/Beau so they can run into the antagonists. So it drove the plot, I suppose. That’s shouldn’t be the only reason to … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 17

Posted on 04/29/2016 by vivisector

Something that always bothers me about vampires in popular fiction is how dull their hobbies are. Poetry, piano and painting seem to the the big three. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you never see a vampire … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/24/2016 by vivisector

Perhaps one of the best things about the Twilight series is the pockets of actual story buried around. My go to example happens to be Jasper. A Civil War era vampire who fought in vampire turf wars? Sign me the … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 15

Posted on 04/14/2016 by vivisector

Nothing quite like closing a chapter by having a character go to sleep, eh? How else can you stop a chapter otherwise? It might be possible to just end where the last notable, i.e. interesting, thing happens. That’s a slippery … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 14

Posted on 04/07/2016 by vivisector

Given the prevalence in the series, I still have to ask why Bella/Beau is too stupid to ask about the sparkling. I’ve already complained about how obnoxious it is that Ed seemed to think it was scary. I cannot imagine … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 13

Posted on 03/31/2016 by vivisector

I’m starting to think that the fairy tale romance aspect is the whole reason this series was popular in the first place. It’s not complicated, the vampire love interest represents a perfect fantasy element come to life. In Ed’s case, … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 12

Posted on 03/22/2016 by vivisector

While I’m doing a lot of bitching about this book, and series in general, I have two things positive to say about it. The first is that Meyer wrote it. Yes, it’s not very good or interesting but she still … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 11

Posted on 03/13/2016 by vivisector

Let’s talk about love for a bit, shall we? I’ll grab something from the immediate sphere of pop culture for reference and talk about Deadpool for the fun of it. Why? Because I’m going to argue that the romance between … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 10

Posted on 03/06/2016 by vivisector

I’ve been wondering why Meyer didn’t delve into the relationship between Charlie and Renee a bit more. Charlie could have been an excellent obstacle between Bella/Beau and Ed. We don’t get much backstory about it but we know that Charlie … Continue reading →

Life & Death Chapter 8

Posted on 02/19/2016 by vivisector

A common focus I’ve seen in criticisms of Twilight and its narrow universe revolves around Ed. I know, so many of them do. Honestly, if Meyer wanted me to say only one word that could encompass everything wrong about the … Continue reading →
