You've taught me I have so far to go. My thanks good sir. As the writer of a snarky blog, I thought I knew what mockery and sarcasm meant. You’ve taught me I have so far to go. My thanks good sir.

I read the Amazon Kindle free preview for Twilight and thought that perhaps I had gotten the wrong book. It was so terribly written that I honestly thought I had picked up fan-fiction by mistake somehow. Thank God I never made it to imprinting! Thanks for your help.

I found a link to your blog on Stuff Christians Like, and managed to read the whole thing in three days. I just want to thank you for so charmingly summarizing the Twilight series for me. After reading the first one in middle school, I knew that I never wanted to read another word of Stephanie Meyer's, yet I still sort of wanted to know how it all turned out, seeing as so many girls I knew were enamored with it. You have allowed me to do just that while sparing me the pain. Thank you. Sofia Dear Mateo,

Breaking Dawn, Ch. 16-18 by Paige http://mkpalos.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/breaking-dawn-ch-16-18/#comment-192 Paige Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:23:52 +0000 http://mkpalos.wordpress.com/?p=395#comment-192 Hey, just letting you know I've been reading your posts on Twilight and thoroughly enjoying them. Twilight is weird, I know just how badly written and implausible it is, but I haven't gotten around to despising them yet. I did despise the main characters pretty early on, though. You are so right about SM's idea of character development being to see just how much of a jerk the person can make themselves this time. Oh well. As soon as I finish Breaking Dawn I'm gonna go back and read LOTR over again. Just to remind myself what real writing is.

Thank you for the synopsis. I feel like I learned more about what not to do in a novel than any class I took in college, not to mention laughed out loud so much that the people that work around me now think Im nuts!

I enjoyed the books for the break from reality it was, but in reading all of your posts on the series may have killed the books for me. And I thank you. My family was highly annoyed at my laughter throughout the day, but it was worth it. =) I was directed over here today by a link on the Stuff Christians Like site on a post regarding the current vampire obsession.
