lol I quite like the anonymity of just random....the trouble at the moment is that devil has finished the darned third book and I am only halfway through. The SA life style is either far more organised than the UK one or more relaxed, or both ...well maybe more organised and more relaxed are linked 🙂

Has anyone read the one from Edwards' perspective? Was it any good? Can you find it in the store or is there only an internet version?
You can read about 264 pages of it by going http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html>here</a>, scroll down about half way, and then click on "Midnight Sun Partial Draft".

I like the way meyer has looked at the other side of vampire and werewolf legends and developed them into a fantasy of her own. Parts are not well written (usually bits linking one good bit to another). However, she does come up with some insightful sci fi/fantasy and almost literary gems in other places which make it worth going on.
I also agree that Jacob would definitely be a saggy. Edward is apparently a gem, but I would have said scorp too.

And I must say that his version(Midnight Sun) is a hell lot funnier than Twilight, right from the first chapter.
Has anyone noticed, even the writing style of Meyer has improved.

ok question one. Why is this thread specifically in the capricorn section? Or do other sections have it and I missed it.
Is it because the author was born on chrstmas eve and is a cappy (yeah I looked it up)?
Anyway, i'm not hear to cause arguments or anything but I have a lot of issues with these books. Now lets blame my Gem-moon which loves to try and see things from other points of view and likes to discuss.
But I really don't get the big deal. I read the first 3 books (bought the first, borrowed the next two) and I know most of the plot of Breaking Dawn but they drive me crazy. They annoy me more than a book has any right to. Bella is so annoying to read, she's utterly pathetic, Edward is controlling and it's shown as romantic, the plot holes are everywhere. It comes off really sexist to me in a lot of ways; I find myself wanting to scream at Bella to get a backbone. From a literary POV, apart from the plot holes, it seems like a wet dream with overly flowerly language and big words used incorrectly. It also tells instead of shows.
And the love is just horrible. It's completely unbelievable and not because it's all consuming or they'd die for each other or whatever but because it's based on nothing. It's so shallow and we're constantly told it's deep.
You see how riled up this gets me? It's insane

As for Edward, he's supposedly Gemini, as stated in the books, his bday is in june.
But I wonder if someone's astrological traits also change with vampirisation. Could it be that he adopted the traits of the sign-in whose month he was changed into a vamp?
Ah ....I can't remember if we were told which month he changed...would have to go back to twilight and check or maybe it's mentioned in midnight sun.click to expand

Not all of it, I'm still stuck on chapter 2. (But I find it more gripping than Bella's monologue about Edward's perfection.---Yes I'll say that 100 times, because I really feel liberated. haa haa)
Reading from the laptop is weird. I dont know how pluto does it. She prefers the laptop for some odd reason.click to expand
oohhh, I normally don't like reading from a labtop. I prefer a book or something in my hand. I don't know, thats just me lol.
I haven't read Midnight Sun yet ... how did you read it? It hasn't been published yet here in the states.
Thats not fair at all Devil, I was helping you with Twilight and now you've read something that I haven't even seen yet.
oooooo 😛 😛 😛 @ Devil

Can all the books be read online fully??

Pluto.....those pics of pattinson haha what is happening with his hair these days?!! 😕
I think he was better looking in his harry P times. His looks are likely the type to fade or become less extraordinary with age, but who knows.
I think some men can be beautiful, but it's generally a teen thing to go for pretty boys. It's unusual for the beauty to last past a certain age with men. Their features fill out and become more manly. But if you are a teen girl crushing on a guy for the first time, the sort of looks that appeal are often not manly but boyish. Although I am not sure meyer had the teen market in mind when she wrote the book. I think maybe she wanted to go back to a more innocent time in her life to escape in her mind from the tedium of her marriage.
