a bookish rant

7 Feb

Borders says the next Twilight book is coming out in the Fall… I don’t know how I feel about that. I liked Twilight because it was so original… though the sequels have been interesting, they haven’t lived up to Twilight. Now, it’s a franchise. Everyone is reading them and the movie is coming out – I still say I’m not going to see it, there is no way that it will not be cheese fest. The only vampire movie I’ve enjoyed is Interview (with the exception of Coppola’s Dracula). Teen vamp movies aspire to a whole other level of cheese.

I always feel an author should know where a story should end, but this boat just keeps on sailing. To avoid spoilers, I won’t give any details, but usually after the plot gets to this point, the story ends. What happens after is never as interesting as what happened before. But, I’ll still give it a shot. I see this going the way of The Princess Diaries – started as a great story for girls, but 10 books in, the story has nowhere else to go and just keeps going in circles.
