Why I Only-Sort-Of Liked Twilight

I sort of liked the first book. Perhaps my judgment is not quite so fair because I read a few of L.J Smith's Night World series before this book.I kind of like to think that I discovered something, and delightfully delude myself into thinking that I am the only one that knows about it.

It could be because I like to imagine how the characters look like, and I could not do that after glimpsing the trailer. Or it could be that that Robert Pattinson (whom I am numerogically and astrologically compatible with except where it says that I would try to direct or control his thoughts too much) said that he is not even really into the whole vampire thing, and that he did not even read the book before he went to audition. I liked him when he was Cedric Diggory.

Back to Twilight,the book. I admit that I did something that I should not have done. I indulged my selfish impulses and wikied the other three books, and found many things of interest. Jacob Black, one of Bella's love interests discovers that her newborn baby is his soulmate. Like Meg Cabot have nothing against interspecies unions, but I must stop where a guys likes the mother, then he falls in love with the daughter when she is like an hour old. I found out that Bella wants to turn into a vampire, but refuses to marry Edward because her parents' divorce has made her cynical. Um, does she not realize that unlike marriage if she turns into a vampire, it definitely will not be an ''I don't want to play anymore, so let's get a divorce thing'' like Jerry once said in Sabine Woman.

Or it could be that my friend's younger sister has read the series as well.
