On the day that Breaking Dawn was published, a million geneticists woke up in screaming agony, and had no idea why. I'm just sayin'...

I've read the first 3. I can't find an adjective to describe how bad they were.

IT BURNS!! And everyone's just sitting around going "ah, that makes sense!" Meanwhile, I'm ready to punch things because IT'S SO BRAIN-BREAKINGLY WRONG AND NONSENSICAL THAT IT BURNS!!

You know, normally I wouldn't ask for spoilers, but I seriously doubt I'll ever get around to actually reading that particular train wreck, and you've gone and piqued my interest.

Find the Cleolinda summaries. But even they do not do justice to the HORRIFIC TRAVESTY that is the fourth book. Oh my GOD this woman made MONEY off of this shit? *twitch*

Ok, so humans have twenty three pairs of chromosomes, right? Vampires apparently have twenty five. And werewolves have twenty four. Is your brain broken yet? Now, there is a vampire/human baby (no, really) on the way, and the speculation is that, because there are similarities to the werewolves (???), that it has twenty four chromosomes. Because apparently they decided to split the difference. MY BRAIN IS EXPLODED!!

Science - You're Doing It Wrong.

And that...that is merely the tip of the iceburg of Wrong that is this book. Seriously, I want to hurl. There is NO WAY they can make an even remotely appropriate movie out of this. Maybe an R-rated movie directed by Tarantino, complete with blood fountains.

If I wasn't at work right now I'd be screaming in rage about the horrific wrongness of this. OH MY JEEBUS NO SHE DID NOT GO THERE!!

"Oh my GOD this woman made MONEY off of this shit? *twitch* "

At the Beans thing last weekend, Jimb (an English teacher with a taste for SF and other semi-esoteric genres) was asked about Meyer's work. His response was "EWW. That SHIT?"
He hastened to point out that he had no serious problems with Potter (aside from Rowling needing an editor who'd stand up to her), but he got about halfway through Twilight and just got so pissed he had to stop.

But yeah, every description of the fourth book, from the upward pan during the sex scene (all we needed was a string section swelling up, guys) to the Alien-esque birth scene to the "that toddler's the one for me!" sequence - WRONGWRONGWRONG.

The science massacre is just icing on the cake for me. Hideous, disgusting icing.
