Amazon Reviews #2

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

Customer Review
3.0 out of 5 stars

leaden angst wrapped in fur and amber contact lenses

When I sit down to watch a sexy vampire flick with a mason jar of chardonnay and two boxes of moisturizing tissues, I expect more than leaden angst wrapped in fur and amber contact lenses.

Perhaps this should be renamed to Twilight: Breaking Hymn (did I spell that correctly? *cough*). Sort of like those naughty love ballads sung by wandering minstrels. You know the ones? They go on verse after verse with some fairly broad metaphors:

The moon through yonder window did break, and its light in and out of the window did shine, all night long, until the bird cried out in the morning, 'coo! coo!'

If you think that's hot, then you'll thrill to the glacial pacing of this epic nuptial that remains frozen in time, like Edward's icy and tumescent love for Bella.
