The outcast's haven

Ahhh, yes, due to my outcast nature in society, I've never actually read the 'Twilight' series. Unfortunately, even being an outcast, I just can't seem to avoid the mass media exposure that the series is getting, both negative and positive. So, from what I've gleaned, the series is about vampires, and whatnot- except they're more like Superman, with a taste for animal blood. That's fairly disturbing already, kinda because I like my vampires to be your classical bloodsuckers, but considering it's audience, I guess that's fair enough *Sigh*

Well, it was received extremely well by teenage/young adult females, and as a result, there's a film out about it now. I guess it's not really different from a lot of other bestsellers then, right? Not really, the book differs from a lot of vampire novels in a series of succinct means. Firstly, yes- there's actually a good vampire- scratch that, a freaking crowd of friendly vampires... Yes, and then, the talking point of the whole book, a 107 year old vampire loves some 17 year old girl. Is that disturbing? Like, pedophile disturbing? Well, considering he looks like a 17 year old anyway, I guess not -_-.

Right, so apart from being a bestseller, and receiving critical acclaim, it's also been heartily criticized by a crapload of people. Well, actually it's just being criticized by the usual hardcore, elite people, for using too many descriptive words, for having empty characters... etc. etc. But then again, it's been praised for having an awesome world, like something out of Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter. A lot of people have also come up to criticize it about it's morals, and perhaps, just the thing that I mentioned before, a 107 year old vampire has the hots for some random 17 year old.

Anyway, over these holidays, I might even read the series of books, even if it does have some flaws to it. But then again, if I wanted to see some awesome mythological action, the anime
series 'Claymore' does come to mind, hehe. But in the end, that's the end of another random blog from me, back to watching the finale of Code Geass
