gladiaI'm a fantasy/science fiction fan, and as a teenage girl I was fascinated by vampires (saw Coppola's Dracula 8 times in the cinema to the point where I could recite the dialogues and where my Mum and Grandma started worrying about it). Still I felt a deep dislike for Twilight from what I heard about it.
Then I read something about it and my dislike grew deeper.
Then something funny happened - Miss M was reading it and kept firing angry remarks about it via Skype, and I found I was rather enjoying the stupidity. To the point where I started looking for negative reviews of Twilight books and movies - the worse, the funnier.
Then I decided that to be objective, I had to know the enemy. I don't feel brave enough to read 4 volumes of purple prose, but we organised a movie night with Miss M and watched the movies. Yay! There were just as hilarious as I hoped them to be.
And I'm playing with the idea of reading Book 1 in order to learn the enemy even better.
This never happened to me before. It's silly, but it's fun. :-)
