Gem of An Article

A friend recently passed along an article discussing the quality of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight books. While I have not personally read the books, and therefore feel... ahem, think I cannot make derogatory comments on them, this article was hilarious. It discusses Meyer's tendencies to use synonyms in the same sentence (""I raised my hand, putting it into the air, holding it aloft as I lifted it and reached skyward."), leaving clauses in the middle of sentences ("I have also discovered, which is annoying me, Meyer's propensity for inserting clauses, where they will dangle, in the middle of sentences."), and the editors' mistakes, such as leaving the word "moat" in place of "mote".

Anyone looking for a laugh can find the article at:
