Harry Potter I can say nothing about. I haven't read past the fourth book, and for good reasons. I'm looking into reading it, but the family copy was a little beat up from moving (ripped in half, middle section missing, no spine, only half of the back cover left).
Twilight on the other hand sucked. I myself liked it at one point, but after my friend annoyed me about re-reading it and actually thinking of yourself on the outside of things...it pretty much was the worst book I ever read, or re-read for that matter. The writing is poor and (even if this is not necessarily Stephenie's fault), there are a ridiculous amount of spelling errors throughout the book. She contradicts herself and her writing so many times, I stopped counting. One being, the whole renesme thing, or demon spawn as my friend likes to call her. The fact it, she states that the only fluid left in a vampire is the venom, so does Edward have venomous sperm or something? I'll let that thought wander where it will.
Either way, the hype for both books are crazy, though i must say Twilight may be worse. That's another reason why some people hate it. Everywhere you go someone has to mention the books, Meyer, or Edward Cullen. It irks me to no end. Oh, and the fact that girls compare him to real guys is pretty pathetic. I want my Edward! Shut the hell up already, and read a real book.
Ugh. I'd rather slit my wrists then watch/read it. I understand when girls daydream about actual HUMAN BEINGS who they will never get [Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe, etc, etc], but when they daydream about a character. . . Did the vampires really, uh, shine, in the book? Maybe I've watched too much Angel and Buffy, but that sounds hilarious and ridiculous to me.
