Don't you hate it when...

Don't you hate it when a main character in a book, or a character you liked, in a book slips into insanity. I'll explain.

So I finally started New Moon, after months of it's dust collecting on my book shelf, and in the fourth chapter the main character is insane. It's just annoying. This always puts a damper on books I'm reading. Like I stoped reading "His Dark Materials" after trying to make it through the second book, but I couldn't because I knew that Lord Asrial is flipping mental. He was my favorite character! Well, this, and the book didn't know how to hold onto a straight story, and always jumped over to whatever Serifina Pekala was at to piss me off. (I didn't mind seeing what our happy Texan was doing, because he was at least cool.) Well, it also lost it's other worldly charm, because they were now running around Oxford, instead of some crazy land where the curch ruled the world, and our souls ran around outside of our bodies in the form of animals we resembled.

It's also what happened to my favorite character, Bluestar, in the Warriors series. She just goes insane, and starts cutting up the magical cat religion, and feeding it to rainbow coloured bunnies who demanded the sacrifice of unicors with dragon blood in them. (Not actually what happened, but it might as well should have.)

So now I have a character I don't much care for, because of her obvious full of herselfness, but yet still finds place to be depressing, and have a low self esteem. The bad part is that she's the person who you have to see through. At least Lord Asriel, and Bluestar weren't spewing depressing banter in the places where there were supposed to be the main characters thoughts.

This book makes me wonder why everyone likes the series. I mean, nobody seems to like Bella, but are too focused on drooling over one of the male characters to give a rat's ass. But you know what? I think it's appealing because girls like to put themselves in the place of Bella, like photoshopping an image in there.

Somehow, I feel the need to continue pressing through the book, but I think it's through the promise of a werewolf character later on. My opinion, werewolf = Good enough reason to keep reading. Werewolves are just so much better than vampires, and just grasp my attention more, because there's something a little more beastly, and valiant about them. Not like a vampire, which by Stephanie's standards, are becoming weirder than the platypus. Their portrayal in this book seem to be way too weird. I mean, Edward supposedly resembles a lion. There doesn't seem to be anything lionly about him. He seems more like a coward in a sense. No, I shouldn't say that, but I thought that vampires were supposed to be like bats? To add to this, they have venom, stone like skin, that shines in the sunlight, and golden eyes that turn black over time.

Let's backtrack over what creature we have created. A blood drinking lion of stone, which also works as a florecent light when you don't need one, that has venom sacks, and has golden eyes that I belive would make him top heavy. This product also comes in the form of a bear, a snake, and any other animal you can dream up. Some even come with a bonus of PSYCHIC POWERS!

Now only nine nineghty nine! Does this make sense to anyone else? Well, I suppose I'm just being nit picky, but the only character so far that I really likes is dead. James, I respect a man who can kidnap a 17 year old girl, who seems to be smart to some extent with only a video tape. Bravo my good sir.

Well, there you have a rant, on why I feel like being in a pissy mood.

By the way, you all have homework to do for me. Send me in an essay that's subject is, "If I were to die in two weeks." I did this in French class. It was actually pretty fun to write. I just talked about all of the stuff I would do to make my last days happy. I'll transfer my essay onto my blog sometime.

If you don't pass it in, it's an F.
