YAY! It's that time of the week for Feature & Follow! This weeks question:Q: Have you ever had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke-up" with later on in either the series or stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.For me the one character that sticks out like a sore thumb after pondering this question is Edward Cullen. Yes, Mr. McDreamy from Twilight. I'm not sure that I necessarily broke up with him while reading the series, though I have definitely stomped out that flame now. Like seriously stomped... and then spit on it. I read the whole series again recently, after my utter disgust with the movies made me question why I ever liked it in the first place, and I was so turned off by Edward. He's seriously a Stage 5 creeper, there was nothing in my second reading of the series that made me even remotely like him! He's weird! He's not sweet, he's a big ol' stalker! And he is so possesive that it's almost scary.
So yeah, this question sent me on a bit of a rant! I can't wait to see everyones answers, this is a good question for sure. Leave me a link, I always stop by ;)

I agree. I got caught up in the series on my first read, but upon reflection the creep factor came to light.

ReplyDeleteI APPROVE!
Hopping through. I got very angry at Edward during Eclipse and parts of Breaking Dawn, but I renewed my love towards him by the end.

Haha this cracked me up. I love Edward, but if a guy acted like that in real life I would call the cops.

HA! I always wondered why Bella didn't realize Edward was a creepy stalker. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, that one.

I didn't have a problem with Edward the first time I read the books, either. Then, when I reread them (before the movies came out) and there were scenes.. and I was just.. disgusted. oô

Okay, I've never read Twilight and I never will. I'm just not into vampires. I think Werewolves are kinda gross too though I prefer them to Vamps. Anyway, thanks for the post!

Since I didn't care much for Edward, I never had to break up with him :) Old follower. My Follow
ReplyDeletehaha agreed! I always loved Jacob but I did like Edward. But after a couple reads through the series I totally thought he was a controlling creep.

I had the same exact answer! I thought he was charming and protective at first but after awhile it got to be a bit much! My FF
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

Haha, lots of people picked Edward for this one. I liked him when I read the series, but who knows if I'll still like him if I decide to re-read them again.
