The Twilight Companion: FINISHED!

0 comments
After reading for a looong time (for me), I am finished with The Twilight Companion: The Unauthorized Guide to the Series by Lois H. Gresh.
In my previous post, I did ride Gresh on a lot of things...and I still do. Like the whole thing that you can't be in a relationship with a werewolf without getting hurt and you have to put on a werewolf costume to satisfy him...um, no! If werewolves want their women to become werewolves then why didn't Jacob Black say that Bella was "too human" and if werewolves do that, why not vampires? It didn't matter that to me that she preferred Edward (which she said she wasn't on any team but it is very obvious she is) and vampires but I didn't like how she made werewolves seem like they couldn't be romantic or stable when they get angry. Jake gave Bella a dreamcatcher and this little beauty vv:
So, yeah, I do think they can be romantic. And, yes, I am Team Jacob! I think it would be obvious by my Team Jacob bag, my life size poster of Taylor Lautner, my Twilight poster of Jacob, and the fact that my mp3 is deemed with Jacob photos. So, I will admit that most of my hosterity is from the fact I do love my fictional werewolf but still you shouldn't pick a side. When you're writing a book, unless it's a first person story, you shouldn't make how you feel towards Edward and not towards Jacob into a GUIDE that is for the WHOLE series. If you want to make a guide for Edward, by all means, go ahead. (I will read that one too.) But don't push vampires, or werewolves, on me, I as a TwiHard just want to go more indepth in the story...that's all. And, making Jacob seems like he's hairy and drools and howls <---- what's wrong with howling?! while Edward is clean shaven and has rock hard abs. Sorry to do this to the people that wished to get passed this but do we remember Taylor Lautner's natural abs and Rob's airbrushed abs and the nasty hair on his chest. (I still love you, RPattz. Truly, I do!)

Total difference right! But, anyways, my review is on the book, not the abs. I still giv this whole book a 3 1/2 black nali polishes out of 4. I do believe that the quizzes were good, the grammar and all that were terrific but the fact of putting your point into a guide about the series (not Edward Cullen), it kind of makes me pull back the whole four. So there you go, Gresh! Hope your other guide is just as good...and hopefully less opinionated.

Twilight Companion--Chapter 1: Bite Me Review

0 comments
Last night, I picked this up thinking "Awesome! A guide for Twilight!" Of course I'm not out of the loop, I just finally found it...for $10.39. So, after buying this and Blood Promise. I decided to read the Companion fist to see what's it all about.
Well, after reading the first chapter, I can safely say that this is going to be very...opinionated. In the first fifteen pages, Gresh already came to the conclusion that Edward Cullen is "Mr. Perfect" and that every girl wants to be Bella Swan (for her persoanlity). Now I love Edward (and RPattz) and he is pretty perfect. Not saying he's not. And, I'm not saying that every girl doesn't want to be Bella. But, think about it, how many times do you go walking down a New Moon or Twilight premiere fan line and you see "Team Bella" or "I Love Bella Swan" shirts. Either rarely or...never. Sorry. But, most people see Bella as whiny or needy, so saying that Bella is the perfect girl every girl wants to be is taking it a little too far. Edward, okay I understand there are huge Team Edwards out there. (I'm a Team Jacob girl.) And, I do love how protective and loving Edward is but telling millions of girls who are reading this that Eward Cullen is "Mr. Perfect" and only him. She even decides to list off actors (who are humans by the way!) who can't compare to Edward. Like Matt Damon, Bradd Pitt, James McAvoy, Patrick Dempsey, Daniel Radcliffe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Depp. JOHNNY DEPP!
This man???^^
You actually said that Edward Cullen is better than Johnny. My Johnny. The one who did Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, Publia Enemies, and the upcoming Alice In Wonderland?
Uh, no!Sorry, Gresh, but you are dead wrong. This hot beast above is my Edward Cullen.
But, anyways, it's okay to have Edward's perosonality traits in mind when finding someone but to name a fictional character Mr. Perfect and no one who is real is, it's giving girls false hopes and regular guys NO chance whatsoever.
Right now I give this back a one blask nail polish for great writing but bad deliever. I don't like anything Twilight to be one-sided UNLESS it is the actual books.
Hopefully it'll get better.
