I can't edit that last post because it's so old, but I reread Twillight, and haven't changed my views on it:
What the... I can't believe... she uses the metaphor "liquid topaz eyes". I mean, how much cornier can you get? Physical features are so repetitively described, in fact, that I know more about Edward's "perfectly muscled chest" than his vampire fangs.
Let's review what we all know about vampires, shall we? Only come out at night. Sleep in coffins or tombs (or satin sheets, if you're an "Angel" fan). Hate holy water, crosses, and garlic. Stake through the heart. Fangs. You're with me, right? Well, Meyer's not. Meyer checked "none of the above" and wrote in her own answers! How cheeky of her! Her vamps are sparkly, fragrant, mind-reading, and my favorite- can run really, really, really fast. And despite the great number of times she references their "teeth," she never can seem to bring herself to say "fangs." It's as if she wanted the vampire mystique, but not, you know, the actual monster. But no fangs? Say it ain't so! Kinda takes the bite out of it all. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
