U
I SO AGREEI don't know who else has heard of it but I swear everywhere single place I go, I keep hearing about this book called "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers and it is driving me insane!!! I have actually read it and it was terrible. It's directed towards 15 year old girls whose only concern is meeting the perfect guy who will rescue her and basically take care of her and blah, blah, blah ( I’m 14 read the Twilight didn’t bother with the rest of the series), a Prince Charming if you will. It's complete rubbish! The guy is a vampire (yes you heard me) and literally saves the girl like 5 times throughout the book. That is basically the point out of it. I seriously laughed out loud while reading it because it was so predictable and pointless. (Yes I read it. I do not believe in criticizing or praising a book without reading it first) It's 450 pages of a girl somehow getting in trouble and then what's his face comes in the nick of time. And this was an assignment for Honors English, so yes in some sort of way; I was forced to read it.
I have been to countless boards, stores, internet sites where I hear these young women praise this book as "The best book they have ever read." Isn't that tragic? That's the problem with today's society. Young women should be reading classics, empowering stories or at least something they can get something out of. All this book does is reinforce the notion that women need to be rescued and that there really is a Prince Charming waiting to be found and that once a girl finds him everything will be happily ever after from then on or if not that she’ll have a godlike amazingly handsome, immortal vampire dude that is willing to kill the world for you. I was at school the other day and actually saw two of my classmates including my TEACHER crying, yes crying about how Edward saved Bella at the end of the book and how much he really loves her and how cute it is, I of course in a daze, nearly fell off of my chair at how pathetic they sounded HE’S A FREAKIN BLOODY FICTIONOUS CHARACTER, PEOPLE GET A LIFE. I believe in love and I hope every girl who wants to find some amazing guy does but this book is complete nonsense and to hear a 46 year old English teacher dish about how much they love a "Vampire" just really depresses me.
Love isn't magic. There is no such thing as a fairytale and as much as I love the Little Mermaid to believe that's how it turns out with every girl would be a discredit to my intelligence! I would love to see people praise a classic like The Count of Monte Cristo or Pride and Prejudice, The Kite Runner, and A Thousand Splendid Suns. To enjoy a book of fiction or get lost in it is fine but to have faith in it to believe it's what you want for yourself (like marrying a freaking vampire!!! yes, I heard my teacher say she wants to marry this guy!!!) is just mind boggling. Perhaps I am just venting but why oh why is this book getting so much praise?!?!?!

i sooooooooooo agree!everyone at my school hates me cause i think itz gay! like all the preppy girls are like "like, omg! you dont like twighlight! just, like get away from me freek!" and there people i dont even know! wtf!? whatever.I love vampire books, vampire movies . . . almost anything vampire.
So I was excited to see the preview for Twilight.
That movie was a waste of time. It was horrible, terrible, and I just felt so sad that this crap was made into a movie.
There are so many other vampire books that I've read that deserve to be made into movies.
Vampires don't f*cking glitter in the sun. What is dat sh*t?!?!?!?
I didn't read any of the books but on the hunch that the book is always better than the movie I picked it up.
Another huge mistake.
I have never read something so horrid, so boring, and so stupid in my life.
I wasted several brain cells and hours of my life on the movie and the book.
I hope soon this whole Twilight fascination will just go away.
For any hardcore fans who think that Twilight is the best vampire book ever read some Anne Rice starting with Interview with the Vampire.
For any hardcore fans who think that Twilight is the best movie ever see Fright Night.
It just amazes me how so many people like this garbage.
i sooooooooooo agree!everyone at my school hates me cause i think itz gay! like all the preppy girls are like "like, omg! you dont like twilight! just, like get away from me freek!" and there people i don't even know! wtf!? whatever.
