[Surprisingly quickly after the arrival of the recommended reading, a typed rant appears on the bulletin board. It is not signed.]

This Twilight book is fucking terrible and here is why:

• It's boring
  
• It's a stupid romance
  
• Uses way to much of that thing where like, things are emphasised a lot. Hyperbolic, or whatever
  
• Story structure is shit, most of it is about the stupid boring romance with the stupid boring characters, and then hostiles appear out of nowhere without even one scene ominously hinting about their existence
  
• Planetary Security in this place sucks
  
• The stupid fucking love interest Edward also sucks and is clearly hostile
  
• If Bella has to have a stupid love interested she should pick someone less likely to murder her
  
• He admits to wanting to eat her
  
• He breaks and enters into her sleeping quarters, as well as other clear stalking behaviours
  
• Seriously he keeps going on about how much he wants to eat Bella, what the fuck
  
• Why is she not concerned about this, does she want to fucking die
  
• Bella is also terrible. And boring.
  
• (Also Edward liking her smell is disgusting, that's just gross)
  
• The hostiles that arrived at the end distracted from the stupid romance plot, so I guess that sucked slightly less than the rest of the book, but it was still badly written and fucking stupid

In conclusion: it sucks.

I like the plays much better. They're actually good. Really good.

[In fact, it hadn't left the projection room once it realised they were there. It had been watching, enthralled, continuously ever since.]

If the Library tries to make me want to eat humans I will set myself on fire and jump off the nearest excessively high vantage point.

…if entering the story with a role is a kind of magical curse, a mind altering effect... I think it needs to give you a role that’s apt, and if it can’t the spell fails.

If you aren’t exactly yourself, you’ll at least be someone you could conceivably have been. I think it’s far more likely you’ll be the girl’s father with a shotgun and a wooden stake than a vampire.

I'm not going to be anyone's parent. I don't have offspring and I don't want any.

But the weaponry is fine.

Or a brother, or a friend, or Van Helsing a professional monster hunter. Whatever.

I wouldn't be anyone's brother. I don't have a gender.

[Why the fuck did the humans here keep thinking it had a gender? It hadn't said it had a gender anywhere.]
