I picked up Twilight before it become such a huge popular thing.
And honestly, I still don't hate it.
I enjoyed being able to read Twilight, because I like reading. It was another story that was interesting. I mean, sure I know that it's become so popular that it's annoying, but that's it. The popularity is only annoying. It doesn't make me hate the book, though. I mean, I don't go back and read it or write fanfiction to it and stuff. I don't totally obsess over it. It's just something that I once read, like a lot of other books, and now it's kind of around.
I mean, the same thing with Harry Potter. And I know a lot of you will say they won't compare to one another. But really, I only read the first six books, and even then didn't read them. My mother read them to me when I was younger. I started the seventh and never finished it. And to this day, Harry Potter's just some series I read and nothing more.
Just like Twilight.

I will say it's fun to play around with Twilight and see everybody fight and rant at each other about whether they hate it or not. I mean... what's the point, really? You like it, you hate. I mean, some people like cheese and other people don't, and you don't see them tearing out each others throats. Everybody's got their own opinion, everybody's ALWAYS going to have their own opinions.

Also, I have to say, my friend did write a great Twilight story. I came up with the idea one day, we did a little research and then she wrote it. We took Edward and Bella and switched them. So now Bella's the vampire, and she lives with the Swan family. Then there's Edward who goes to Forks to live there. Thing is, we also switched the genders of all the other characters. So now Jacob is Jade, Alice is Adrian and so forth...

I seem to have gotten off on a little rant here, but really that's all I have to say about the Twilight series.
Don't let Twilight ruin other vampire or werewolf stories for you, though.

I'm done now, hehe.

People say that this book is really bad. So uh, I haven't read it. But, I have a question. HOW OLD ARE THEY? Ok, I am good!

I thought the books were decent. If there's one reason why Twilight will never be as big/popular as the Harry Potter series though, it is this. Stephenie Meyer completely sold out in Breaking Dawn. I understand that she loves her characters and all but if she wanted to convey any sense of reality(which was absent throughout much of the series) at all she would have killed off at least one beloved character, which she simply refused to do.

I like the books, bar Breaking Dawn. I always have. I must admit, and one stage (just after they announced that the film rights had been picked up, back in the day when MTV wanted to turn it into some kind of Wu-Tang Clan movie), was completely obsessed, but I'm not so much any more. I mean, I still like the books, but as one of the many original readers, I find the intensity of the whole fandom very demeaning and petty. Yes, I wrote fanfiction (quite a successful one too), yes I participated in a Twilight forum and had to get my 'Twi-fix' every day, and yes, I still go to the Twilight conventions held in the UK (not because I'm die-hard, but it's fun to get to interact with celebrities!!). But then it all got too obsessive, and then the hating started and it just made me tone down.

I think someone's said it before, you either love or hate a thing that's popular like Twilight or Harry Potter or IronMan or Transformers. Everyone does have their own opinions, and that's what it's about. Your OWN opinion, not anyone else's. Really, I don't give a bucket if you don't like Twilight. I do, but don't lambast me for that. If I do, I do, let's move on and talk about something else. There may be something that you completely love - say Katie Price or Paris Hilton - that I completely hate. But you don't see me going around blasting you for it. A little respect on each side is needed, I think. Oh, and when I say you, I mean it metaphorically.

Hm, I guess I agree with you there. On Stephanie's part, it was and is a successful book, so it must not matter to much of the population. It matters to me, though.

Still, the Twilight series wasn't all too bad, and before I trash on it, I'm going to have to write a book that becomes more successful than hers. It's only fair.

I am packing up now. Just so that once I say what I have to say, no one will be able to come chasing after me with sledgehammers and flaming pitchforks.
I almost puked. I am sorry, I truly am (I know what it feels like when your favourite book is insulted); I mean no offence to Twilight fans. I really did. They're all in bad taste, terribly written, with a terrible plot and terrible characters. There is no moral warmth. None at all. No-one has any moral fibre. WHERE DID THE GOOD GUYS GO???
I am very sorry. But that was my impression all the way through.
Urgh.
Okay, I know I shouldn't be offending it. No book I ever write will ever be as successful. But I just wanted to put my opinion out there. Tear it to bits.

Breaking dawn is defo the best! cant get enough of it, i've read it 7 times now, once i stayed up all night reading it, then i had to go and ride my horses, almost fell off because so tiered!!!!!!! lol thats me and books!

Cant decide if team jacob or eddi..... (I know its Edward, eddie sounds cuter) I want Edward to stay with Bella, but Jacob is really sweet too................................... ahhhhh cant decide!!!! Shame Jacob now loves renesme. Woops!

Okay, I'm going to be honest. I used to adore the Twilight Saga. I even had an account on thetwilightsaga.com. And me and my best friend do see all the movies together...including Vampires Suck (such a bad movie. Not the least bit funny).

But I have to say, I hate it. Not one her idea's are original, in fact, most of them are taken from the same person. She's an absolutely dreadful writter, there was no plot, no point. All the book were absolutely terrible.

And compared to other vampire novels, Twilight absolutely SUCKS! They are some of the worst books I've ever read. They're dreadful. The movies were all bad too.

Honesly, I have no idea why they got so popular. They are really bad books.

I swear all the books only consist of "Bella I love you"(edward) "I love you too edward"(bella) "But I can't"(edward) "Bella I love you" "But I can't" "I love you bella!" (jacob) "Back off, she's mine!"(edward) "Bella, I'm leaving" (edward) "Boohoohoo for me" (bella) "I still love you bella" (jacob) "You're my best friend jake!" (bella) "The girl I left killed herself so I'm gonna kill myself" (edward) "I love you edward" (bella) "I love you too bella"(edward) "I love you too bella!" (jacob) "I can't make up my mind!" (bella) "Bella will you marry me" (edward) "yes, but don't tell jake" (bella). He tells jake, jake gets made "Jake I love yuo, I'm goig to kiss you now even though I'm engaged!" They kiss "I love you bella." (jacob) Bella and edward get married, bella gets pregnant, Jake falls in love with a toddler, the end.

Also, these books are sick! I mean, seriously! Jacob and a baby!?!? She basically said Oh look, jacob loves this baby. They will be together forever. Him in this toddler are gonna hook up.

Terrible books
