*sighs irritably* I only read about half of the first book, and while I didn't think it was eye-stabbingly bad, I was absolutely amazed to find that it has the fan following that it does. And when I went back and thought about it, I realized that most of that half focused on two things: emphasizing how "awesome" the vampires were (and I use the word very loosely), and how helpless the main character was by comparison (and apparently this was supposed to deepen her character).

I once heard that the book was referred to as "vampire fiction for people who don't like vampires." Seriously, what? What's the point? That's like saying "it's a 500-page novel for people who don't like reading." I think I'd have been a lot less annoyed if S. Meyer had just made up her own humanoid race and tried to do something with that.

However, and I'll probably get flamed for this, I admit that I find her explanation of why vampires don't go out in sunlight to be highly inventive. No, I don't like the explanation, but I do think it's unique. My response, though: "you know that you don't HAVE to let your vampires be sun-shy, right? Dracula wasn't."

Holy crap, I wrote a lot more than I thought I would.

I love reading, too. I'm a bit slower, though. I think A book of Twilight's length would take me 6-8 hours, assuming I stopped to eat and drink.

I eat and drink while reading, so that helps speed me up. razz I know quite a few well written books, if you'd like to hear of some.

You should sue the author! She has stolen 3 hours of your life!! You'd get millions!!!

Actually! Im gonna sue the author!!

EVERYONE WHO HATES TWILIGHT! SUE!!! IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST LEGAL BATTLE IN HISTORY!!!

I would, but I fear for my life. Have you heard what the fangirls will do?! some kid got stabbed seven times and then had acid doused on his face just for trying to get a girl to pay attention in class instead of reading Twilight!

That's the problem for me.

"I heard..." isn't very convincing. I'm waiting for actual news reports... and why is it that no one's called the police? If it were as serious as everyone jumping on the band wagon about, why is the news limited to small internet communities? Sorry, but this is all so fishy.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, the wittle girl thinks she's big and bad! How cute! Sweetie, just remember, there is a certain thing called the Declaration of Independence, and it has several amendments, one stating each person has a right to their own opinion.

Also, my CAT could write better than SMeyers. I could easily write better than SMeyers. Now STFU, you little whore.

You really don't come on the writer's forum much, do you?

Okay, Twilight is an okay book. It's certainly not the best vampire book out there, in fact I can name many others, but if you don't get into the whole mass merchandise BS then it's a good read, despite what the others say about the book. The movie sucked horribly. Classic 'B' sci-fi channel movie have done better even with a smaller budget.
The book is worth reading once though. Just don't buy it at first. Rent it from the library and see if you like it before wasting $15.

Hella wrong forum, you dolt. You'll get people with the answers you want to hear in the ENTERTAINMENT FORUM. Now, shoo, shoo, go on.

Maj, I seriously hope it's your sibling sharing your account - because you've sunk to a new low otherwise, or you're just brilliantly stringing us all along. Either way, I hope that's your sibling.

Twilight, from the small bit that I've read, can be a great easy read. If you're looking for something purely time-wasting, it's a nice, quaint, predictable little thing. If you're wanting something that's actually a thought-provoking book, I'd suggest something else.

However, asking if Twilight is "good" or "bad" is really just a personal opinion and everyone's sick and ******** tired of hearing all the whining about it. Read it and shut the ******** up.
