Twilight

[music_of_shadows]

I liked Twilight until it became popular. I read it a few years before everyone found out about it, told my friends about it, and regretted my decision to tell them. They are now completely obsessed with it, so much to the point that I nearly hate it now. Breaking Dawn was the worst of the series, and after reading everyone's critique...I completely agree with them that the series is not well written at all.

Well said. That post and those links really let me see Twilight from a different perspective and I say you're right. There are many things in the series that don't make it "the greatest".
Though I only still like the series for the romance. What can I say? I love romance.

I've read the whole series through twice. My favorite one is the 4th one Breaking Dawn. I thought she did a wonderful job ending it. I also like the Host by Stephenie Meyer as well. I have seen the Twilight movie a couple times too. I didn't think it was that great but meh....

I read 3 and 3/4 of them. Breaking Dawn got so bad that I just stopped -- something I very rarely do. They're poorly written and filled with craptastic characters.

My real problem, though, was that I read the first book and then moved right on to read Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat. Good lord. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum 3nodding It goes without saying, my eyes were opened to the poor writing and characters of Meyer.

Really, I can't say it better than The Ghoul In Pajamas did, so I'll just stop here ^^

By the way, The Ghoul In Pajamas, your words left me in tears of happiness. They were so eloquently written in their simple truth. You have made it to my list of favorite people :'D

I just read the first 2 books but I'm not that excited to read the third one. Yeah when I was actually reading I couldn't stop but now looking back on it, not one of my favorites.
