Irritated
soo yay! breaking dawn came out at midnight saturday night and i was in line with a few friends to get a copy. unfortunately ....shit my cat is like vomiting. ugh! Anyways! unfortunately i had already read some spoilers online before the book release and a lot of negative criticism from 'fans'. i went into the book very skeptical but was very satisfied once the book ended. I honestly do not understand the negative reactions to this book and it really irritates me. I dont care if people dont like the book, not everyone has to... its more the way in which they comment about it. no one seems to have a reason, its just immature comments like "ultimate FAIL" or "s.meyer is teh suck!!!11". it irritates me so much i wish i could disown this fandom.
i applaud stephenie meyer for writing the book she wanted to write. its not going to go down in history like a work of Shakespeare, its a completely indulgent young adult novel! its a guilty pleasure! this isnt going to be required reading in your adv. english high school classroom! people are upset that she wrapped everything up in a pretty bow and gave the characters there happy ending. 1. people would be MORE pissed if she had given them a bad ending. 2. this ISNT the end! its the end from Bella's point of view. meyer needs to leave things a little open because she is planning more stories...or maybe not considering the appauling behavior of her fans. 3. this HAS been what meyer has been alluding to throughout the entire series: love conquers all, people can change, you dont have to accept the life that was handed to you. everyone who thinks Bella was supposed to sacrifice everything for edward...well she DID, she was willing to and thats why things worked out. Bella believed things could be better, she was prepared to loose it all, and she essentially did.
i think the fandom got caught up in too much hype, too many personal expectations, and meyer cant please everyone. she certainly pleased me and i hope she continues these stories. im stepping off my soap box now.
