Free will is important to her..? Does this woman even read her own books a second time? Free will gets axed CONSTANTLY, and she has the gall to say she's a big proponent of it?

AW! I put my face in my cat's fur when I want to feel better, too. ^_^

[faketohma]

why can't her characters die in a normal way. why does she feel each of their near death experience has to be spectacular..

[HumbleLittleNarrator]

I listen to this whole thing and every time I head one of those pauses before one of your rage sessions I think "anurism in 3...2..1..."

XD Great job. Very informative and entertaining.

You know, I don't think they allowed pregnant women to be schoolteachers during that time.

[BlueUncia]

@BlueUncia ... she was no longer a child. Her parents also had specific wishes concerning who she would marry (which thankfully she ignored).

Considering Esme has so many names, she may be the daughter of one of these more prestigious farmer families? Maybe?

Oh, by the way.

@wolfmoon17 Because Meyer is a sexist bitch. Or because she thinks Dark and Troubled Pasts are awesome, and yet has no idea how to do them correctly, so we end up with the trainwreck that is Twilight.

[Harakuroi]

@BlueUncia It's generally more acceptable to use 'Blonde' for females. I guess a lot more people accept 'Blond' but that does not mean it's grammatically correct.

[tcelenacuatemocatl]

I don't think Meyer put any serious thought into her characters' personalities. she herself even said that she doesn't do research on the stuff she's writing about.

[tcelenacuatemocatl]

thanks for reviewing the guide. now i know i don't want to buy it.

[nicolebmoviesFTW2]

I'm glad Esme got abused. She deserved it, the murdering bitch.
