If you're interested in the book, dunk your face in cold water and wake up. Then go find a real vampire book (I suggest something by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes), and watch a real movie (Like... Dracula.)
I am not a fan of the author Amelia Atwater-Rhodes I'm afraid and I actually wasn't into the vampire part of the book.
Still ,I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, Dreaming Awake. I don't think phrases like "
If you're interested in the book, dunk your face in cold water and wake up." are very polite. It's fine if you don't like the book, I'm well aware there are much better books out there. But phrases like that don't get your anywhere either.

I believe that Dreaming Awake's comment of "If you're interested in the book, dunk your head in cold water and wake up" is her opinion.

I do not believe that's a...polite way to express ones opinion. Maybe its just me.

It's not polite, no, but it's still her opinion.
Like how my opinion of political correctness is that it's gay.

With all books that get turned into movies the books are always better. Simply because they can't possibly put everything from the book into the movie.

I'm sorry you disagree with the way I expressed my opinion, and it probably wasn't
the best way to do it, but there are always worse ways.

Please, I am but a smol potate.

If you like Twilight at all you should read

There is a lot of things that i hate about what the author describe the vampire in her book its super wrong to miss around the vampire knowledge cuz, vampire don't have kids, they don't have feeling, they don't love human, vampires don't have mates, or super powers, or do they sparkle in the sun
but, i do like the book cuz, its oddly i like only Jacob in the book.

Neither. xD
Decisions to decisions are made and not bought, but I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot. I guess not.
