You all heard the saying. You all said the saying: ‘If I had a nickel….’ Well let’s try it on Miss Meyer’s vocabulary skills. I gave Twilight a chance and after halfway through the third book I couldn’t read anymore. Stephenie Meyer has the vocabulary skills of a thrid grader at best. Now before you hassle me on her skills, let’s take a look. It’s not the same word here or there. It’s everywhere. Let’s start with the most used word: ‘Slowly’.
I used Amazon’s SEARCH INSIDE page on all four books of Twilight. Can any of you guess what the grand total was? Not 100. Not 200. It was 244 times. 244 times she used the word ’slowly’. Now let’s use that old saying. 244 nickels is twenty-four dollars and forty cents. I can fill my gas tank almost all the way with that kind of money. Still not convinced? Okay, ’slowly’ can be used alot by some authors. Let’s let at some more.
‘Perfect’ is the second highest. Edward’s perfect face is said so many times with the word ‘perfect’. The total? 162 times. That’s sixteen dollars and twenty cents.
let’s add together ‘grimace’ and ‘grimaced’. Total? 49 times.
And finally, Edward’s ‘crooked’ smile. Total? 19 times.
When you add up the grand total of all these excess words, you get a whopping 474 over used words. Nearly fifty dollars in nickels. I can not only fill up my gas tank all the way but I can enjoy myself with a coffee and pastry at Starbucks and a mass-market book to read while I’m there with more to spare in my pocket.
Stephanie Myeyer, please for the love of God, get yourself a thesaurus! For all our sakes, please stop!
Bought this over 2 years ago, was stunned with the price considering hdmi cords cost quite a bit and love it.
Haven’t had any issues with it, works great!!!
Great picture and sound!
Couldn’t ask for any better.
If you want a great value for the money, get this!
MEDIUM RED Classic Nautical
This is an amazing product. It was recommended to me by a friend and I was skeptical at first but it is amazingly tough. At high speeds on the highway, or even with quick car jerks, it remains nonskid. I have actually bought two.
MEDIUM COBALT BLUE Fashion
This book is highly readable and enjoyable. It gives insight to how we should live our lives, and connects us with God. It makes me want to read his other books. This book is a great complement to Pearls of Wellness (Pearls of Wellness 52 Inspirations to Achieve a Peaceful Body, Mind, and Spirit).
