Meh. I thought it was pretty generic. As a writer, I think it's a bit poor in quality compared to other fantasy/vampire books.

My friends and I played a game with water where every time Bella said some elaborate statement about how attractive Edward is, we took a sip.
Needless to say, we drank a lot.

But I've read worse.

What vampire books do you like? I LOVED Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz. And the House of Night series by PC and Kristin Cast.

Aw, I came in here expecting a thread about the time of day shortly after the sun has set but before night has truly set in. Instead: Vampires.

Ha ha, nothing! I was just feeling silly when I posted that, since I haven't got anything else to say on the topic. Never mind me. :yogi:

Okay! ^_^

But meh! Nobody's commented on the awesomeness of Twilight! Is it possible that everyone here on CR is a Twilight-hater or a Twilight-ignorant?

There was some girls at my school who liked it. But they were stupid whores so I just assumed it sucked, just like everything else they liked. (i.e. High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Disney Channel in general)

I'll probably never read it... The concept of vampires has never been too interesting to me.

This reminds me of my friends, who turn into the ultimate squealing fangirls every time this topic is mentioned. It's quite sickening, actually. XP Though we haven't talked about it in a while, so I don't really mind...

Spoiler: Guess what. A spoiler.
I can't believe Bella chose Edward over Jacob! That really made me angry. I mean, he was the one who was, you know, THERE!? But once the impossibly perfect-looking guy comes back, she's head over heals again! She pretty much left Jacob high and dry, after all he did for her.


I'm sorry, but it seems to me that Edward is too perfect. Perfect-looking, smart, strong, brave, a smooth talker... And of course, he's Bella's Romeo. For crying out loud, why!? Why did they not give him a singe character flaw!? And I'm not exactly fond of how she portrayed Bella either. Too high-maintenance.

I do agree, though, it had an interesting plot-line and the book just grabs your attention. I only kind of liked it, yet I couldn't put it down. And the side characters ((Alice for example)) were very well done. The author was also very descriptive; I could actually visualize most of the scenes.

Ahaha, I feel like a movie critic or something. XD

OH
MY
GOD.

THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ME GO.
THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ME GOOO.
I WILL NEVER WATCH GOBLET OF FIRE AGAIIIN.

IMO, No one in that movie is smexy.
They picked those actors out of a cap, I swear.
I once thought it'd be better than it's book counterpart (in a rare break from the usual and should-be rule of book always pwns movie), but when I saw the scene where Bella is almost eradicated (and, much to my chagrin, makes it.), and I saw them using sound effects I hear in crappy Kingdom Hearts comedy AMVs, I lost all hope.

You WILL love it. I haven't met a single person that hasn't.


Guess what? YOU JUST DID.
Meyer is a untalented author. I heard how 'amazing' and 'original' the series was. So, I picked up Twilight at the library. I should have known it was going to be bad just from looking at the cover. Two paled hands holding a bright red apple? Cliche much?
And, I read the first half. We have Bella. (BEAUTIFUL SWAN) who, thinks she isn't pretty. Oh, and she is clumsy too, but, obviously doesn't matter.
As a new person to a new town, she is pretty nervous staring off school. And, of course, everyone is absolutely and madly smitten with this new girl, like she is some alien amazing mystic being.

However, 70% of the book is just Bella obsessing over Edward, trapped in a obsessive relationship. Over how beautiful and talented he is. Perfect skin, hair, eyes, breath,scent,voice. Its a little creepy when she gets a whiff of his minty fresh breath her mouth is literally watering.
But, Edward stalks her. Watches her sleep at night too. Wow. A bit creepy. He keeps telling her how DANGEROUS he is, but, is obviously in love with perfect innocent Bella.

Typically your not supposed to want to kill the two main characters do you? I hated this book. It was insanely overrated. Cliche plot, and Mary Sue main characters.

Hmmm...

My reaction to it is much like my reaction to Harry Potter in some ways. At first, I went all fangirl over it, then I read the next two books, threatened to kill Stephenie Meyer at least twice, and my interest kinda waned. Then I read Twilight again, went semi-fangirl, and now...

Well, let's just say I'm going to read Breaking Dawn and I'm going to see the movie.

I do agree that Edward is too perfect.

And I am a bit scared for Breaking Dawn as well. *read: first chapter of BD= ONG I GOTT A NOO CAR AND A NOO CREDUT CARD STOP STRING AT ME*

But I do appreciate books that I literally can't put down.

And...I liked the Host. That was a good book, I think. Interesting premise, a little bit "Feed"-esque (although that book put me in a deep depression for several days).

So...I suppose I love them while I'm reading them, and afterwards, interest wanes.

Wanda and Ian are just so perfect for each other! I never liked Jared; I always knew, somehow, Ian would be the one. And I'm happy Kyle has Sunny. She makes him seem a bit more human XD

Jared, I thought, was a jerk. completely uncivilized, and then all of a sudden when he's okay with wanda since she still has Melanie inside, instead of "Oh, I hate you! I would cheerfully kill you any day" it's "Oh, so Mel's there? Ummm...okay, *loveylovey*. Goodness, the fickleness of the being that is Jared *deepsigh*

Yep. I like Ian. He's cool.

And Melanie's little brother is a cutie C=

Anyways. You can have those fictional characters all you want.

I call all other eligible YA fantasy people.

So THERE.
