so i've just read twilight. has gone straight to the top of my fave reads.

is it wrong to fancy a fictional character. especially one that is supposed to be 17. Edward is hot and yes I am a 32 mother of three.

If it is fictional lust it is fine

Have you started the next one yet, I went straight on to Amazon and ordered all three as soon as I put the first one down

MamaG · 27/01/2009 12:36

Edward is DULL

seeker · 27/01/2009 12:37

No, but it is wrong to think that these books are any good!

fizzpops · 27/01/2009 13:06

I don't think anyone is pretending that they are great works of literature. A little bit of escapism is always nice though.

MamaG · 27/01/2009 14:58

I really don't see what all the fuss is about with Edward.

He is a tad boring, no?

Jacob is MUCH more fun!

Lol at Seeker!

I think I'll have Carlisle if I have to have one of them, although Alice is the character who interests me most.

MamaG · 27/01/2009 15:01

Yes I love Alice, she's my favourite character.

Bella is a PITA isn't she really "ooh I'm not good enough for you, Mr Delicious Edward"

fryalot · 27/01/2009 15:03

yes, but he's not really seventeen is he?

He's... what... 356 or something, which very definitely makes him an older man

(okay, a virgin, but still an older man )

MamaG · 27/01/2009 15:04

I think he lied, he's not a virgin

fizzpops · 27/01/2009 15:22

I must say MamaG there was a point when I was wanting her to cop off with Jacob, but couldn't see how it would work with the storyline seing as the whole thing hinges on how she is soooooo in love with Edward.

Personally it didn't do a lot for me with the descriptions of him being cold and marble like. Can't imagine finding that attractive....

fryalot · 27/01/2009 15:22

a man?

lie?

about sex?

colnelcustard · 27/01/2009 17:23

oh come on. edward is hot. all that worshipping and saving her life every two mins. i could get on board with someone like that.

Yes, it is very wrong, because he is MINE ALL MINE. And I'm having Jacob, too.
