Question: Worst book that you've ever read!? Why!?
The worst book that I've ever read is Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer because it is pointless, unnecessary, and the characters are boring and one-demensional!. The writing style is really bad and the author also breaks her own rules in this book by having a vampire knock up a human and their pathetic excuse is "it's just fiction!."Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Although I am a reasonably big fan of the Twilight Series, I will admit that none of us saw this coming in Breaking Dawn!. But, Stephenie Meyer does give a bit more reasoning behind this part of the story than “it’s just fiction!.” This is what she has to explain herself with…

“The first seed (no pun intended) was planted when I did Bella's computer research in chapter seven of Twilight!. Bella reads about several real vampire legends—the Danag, Estrie, Upier, etc!. In the novel, I only mentioned a few of the many legends I read through!. One that I didn't mention at this point was the entry on the Incubus!. The unique feature about that legend was that the incubus could father children!. Hmmm, I said, and I filed that kernel of an idea away for later!. When I decided to write the first sequel to Twilight (Forever Dawn), I knew it was going to revolve around a hybrid baby from the outset!.
“When my editor and I decided to go back and really develop Bella's last year of high school, I did so with the knowledge that it was all going to end up with the events in Breaking Dawn!. Everything I wrote was pointed in that direction!.
“I was always very careful when I answered the ‘Can vampires have babies!?’ question, because I didn't want to say anything incorrect, but I also didn't want to make the future super-obvious!. I focused my answers on the female half of the equation—female vampires cannot have children because their bodies no longer change in any aspect!. There is no changing cycle to begin with, and their bodies couldn't expand to fit a growing child, either!. I purposely evaded answering the question, "Can a male vampire get a human female pregnant!?" to preserve a tiny bit of surprise in the last book!. There were many statements on this subject purported to have come from me, but I never made those comments because, obviously, I knew where this was going!.
“Now, on to the ‘how is this possible!?’ question!. First of all, of course it's not possible!. None of this story is possible!. It's a fantasy story about creatures that don't actually exist!. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works:
“Vampires are physically similar enough to their human origins to pass as humans under some circumstances (like cloudy days)!. There are many basic differences!. They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin!. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body!. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells; they are hard and reflective like crystal!. A fluid similar to the venom in their mouths works as a lubricant between the cells, which makes movement possible (note: this fluid is very flammable)!. A fluid similar to the same venom lubricates their eyes so that their eyes can move easily in their sockets!. (However, they don't produce tears because tears exist to protect the eye from damage, and nothing is going to be able to scratch a vampire's eye!.) The lubricant-venom in the eyes and skin is not able to infect a human the way saliva-venom can!. Similarly, throughout the vampire's body are many versions of venom-based fluids that retain a marked resemblance to the fluid that was replaced, and function in much the same way and toward the same purpose!. Though there is no venom replacement that works precisely like blood, many of the functions of blood are carried on in some form!. also, the nervous system runs in a slightly different but heightened way!. Some involuntary reactions, like breathing, continue (in that specific example because vampires use the scents in the air much more than we do, rather than out of a need for oxygen)!. Other involuntary reactions, like blinking, don't exist because there is no purpose for them!. The normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood!. Like with vampire skin—which looks similar to human skin and has the same basic function—fluids closely related to seminal fluids still exist in male vampires, which carry genetic information and are capable of bonding with a human ovum!. This was not a known fact in the vampire world (outside of Joham's personal experimenting) before Nessie, because it's nearly impossible for a vampire to be that near a human and not kill her!.”

I am not trying to personally attack you for your question, but I believe that the author's explanation is a tad more elaborate than an--I quote--"pathetic" excuse!.

EDIT: To all Twilight fans being snarky towards Twilight "haters," and to all Twilight "haters" being snarky towards Twilight fans, I find that both arguments are equally as pathetic and annoying!. Obviously, people are free to have their own opinions on Twilight!. This is no excuse to attack each other! And, that doesn't mean that all Twilight fans are twelve or thriteen years old!. Although the books are written for YA, there are many adults who appreciate the books as much or more than young adults!. So, whether you absolutely despise the Twilight series, or if you love it to death, both opinions should be appreciated equally!. Please get over your prejudices and pointless disputes, people, and let’s just answer this question with what little dignity we have left!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
