Yea, I do kind of get what u mean... but cud u post an example? Cuz like Madz said, none of the words are TOO unfamiliar, I've heard of most of them 😳 And even if I haven't, i really like learning new words... like 'ostentatious' for example... its a really fun word to use, even tho not that popular... its part of my 'twilight vocab' now! ;)

Umm precisely that word ostentatious was not really required at all!Im not saying its a bad word, its just that it didn't need be there. I'll certainly look up some example and post them. Perhaps that will help u understand my point of view! =)😊

kru i have twilight vocab too like absurd utterly and ostentatious! 😆

actually absurd and utterly are my favourite words that i have been using since go knows when.. ostentatios was a first though haha.,, i had to look it up in the dictionary to really understand wat it meant.

Actually, some people may challenge her 'literary skills', because the vocabulary in the books is not of such a high level... but it doesn't need to be to convey the meaning, I don't think. 😳

She writes aptly to fit the character, is what I feel... it's nothing so challenging, yet it suits the character - which is what I think gives Twilight so much of its expressiveness and meaning.

Will edit with a more clear post later 😳

Like Ammu said, the words arent for no reason... it just suits the character. Also, using words like those help a lottt in description. Even I didnt know what the word meant, but after looking it up and then finding out the meaning, it describes well what Edward means when he talks abt Rosalie's car.

Well, all of you are entitled to your personal opinion. I just feel that she really needs to work on her literary skills. She is quite repetitive and illogical at times as well. I mean she has great concepts and all but really needs to improve. Like i mentioned before, I have read about a zillion of books and wen i read twilight , I obviously fell in love with it but for sme reason i just didnt feel that everything flowed smoothly. To be honest, Twilight was the best out of all the three books. Eclipse and New Moon were derogatory!
