An Abomination?

I like them. I find them a really entertaining bit of fluff. they're no great literary genius, but they don't need to be.

I do not find these type of books interesting at all. To me, the whole vampire thing is satanic. My daughters and I read the Bible, biographies and books by Christian authors. I know that the author of the Twilight series is Mormon but I think she could have put her pen to better use than this drivel. Sincerely in Christ, Leesa C. Eph.2:8,9

Hey I dont read books and make assessments of its literary qualities. I read book for pure entertainment. I am not, and I think 99 percent of the general population are not as well, a student of english literature. I feel that this way more than 75 percent of the books written are trash. If you find twilight trash then you have not read half of the trashy novels. The best example of trashy novels are Mills and Boons collection. I also dont judge the book on whether a single word was used a hundred times in it. And throwing a book into garbage is like an insult. If you dont like the summary why buy it. And unless you are interested in werewolves and vampires folklore, there is no use reading these kind of books. I think the book quite great.

While I don't think the twilight books are very well written, I don't think they are as bad as you are making them out to be. They are written for teenagers and it shows. Most people, especially young people, read fiction for the story, not to pick apart the writing skills of the author. It's entertainment, that's all.

I think most people, even myself as a fan, agree that the twilight series is not particularly well-written. Stephanie Meyer, the author, started writing the first book based on a dream she had- she didn't have intention to become an author. I think the books are so popular because the love story is so engaging, and the idea of werewolves are vampires fueding is just cool.

i have not read the book yet. but i have seen the movie. i dont see why you would throw out that book. the movie was amazing and i am guessing the book is amazing aswell.

I couldn't get into the books or movies. My sister loves it. I guess to each their own.

At first, I didn't understand what's with the Twilight hype. I thought it was just another fiction catered to the vulnerable teenage imagination. But I was curious after having to sit through the movie, I read the book and I agree that it's not really well-written. I usually read Michael Palmer, Eric Segal, Paolo Coelho and Danielle Steel. But then again, I came to like it because of its great love story. I finished the 4th book months ago. So yeah, I guess I'm a fan.
