Twilight is so pathetic...

I tried to read Twilight as well and as a "Dracula", folklore, and Anne Rice fan, found it very lacking, to say the least. Sorry, if the vampire, and I use the word loosely here, wants you, he will just eat you, no love. Vegetarian vampires, sounds pretty pathetic to me. I am an English teacher and in all honesty cannot find a single positive about this book series. If you want good vampire lit, read "Dracula" or Anne Rice and a great movie is "Shadow of the Vampire" with John Malkavich and Willem DeFoe. The vampire in there is so cool and creepy, very fun.
I also agree the characters are stock and flat. Bella is rather snobbish coming and appearing better than everyone else and Edward is the typical tortured soul. My biggest beef came with explanation that they can't go out in the day because they are so beautiful they shimmer! WTF! It should be because they will fall away to dust. They are the undead after all. You know, blood sucking corpses. *sigh* As my brother would say, never underestimate the buying power of teenage girls.
 
Trust me. I agree with you. My girlfriend is absolutely obsessed with the series. It's EXTREMELY annoying. The story is totally cliche, and it is a very easy read. There just aren't books that challenge the mind anymore. It's saddening to see high school girls and FULL GROWN WOMEN become corrupted over such a ridiculous story, and become controlled over a novel that a sixth grader could read.

I guess I am writing out of jealousy as well. I have been writing all my life, and am discouraged because I refuse to write a story at a sixth grade level, and refuse to write about a cliche topic.
 
i have to say, this forum is refreshing. I was wary of reading Twilight at first--after all, having countless girls gush about it and the fact that some of them (who wouldn't know good literature if it hit them on the head) were saying it was better than Harry Potter is usually a red flag. But i ignored my gut feeling and read it. And then read new Moon. and almost threw up. It wasnt only the fact that they were poorly written, boring, anticlimatic, cliched, and sterotypical in regards to women, characters, feelings, and dynamics, but Edward and Bella's behavior appalled me. Don't get me wrong--i find vampires very sexy, and the ordinary girl/vampire guy pair is very thrilling. What scares me is that Bella is so whiny/submissive/cringe-inducing and Edward has all the marks of a text-book emotionally abusive boyfreind, and girls WORSHIP them! WTH? Edward came off as a rude, arrogant, asshole and Bella was clumsy to the point of an inner-ear problem (clumsiness is not a character flaw, meyer) and also was rather dimwitted, selfish, mean, superficial, and a bit of a bitch.

These characters would be great in a novel about socially repulsive, horrible people and an exploration of their behavior. Unfortunately, its packaged as a love story concerning two "brilliant, beautiful, perfect" people, who everyone should obsess over. ;(
 
I feel that "Twilight" is the kind of book that makes you stupider. We are the generation that is supposed to be smart, the ones who hold the future of our world in our hands. We should be reading books that challenge us mentally. Instead, we read "Twilight". A book that doesn't require thoughts or complex emotions. What the hell?

And biteme-twilight<3? Learn to respect others' opinions.
 
My friends r so obsessed with it!!!!! Me and my otha bud r the only sane ones in our group! I am completely sick and tired of hearing bout it!!! I wish we culd ship all obsessed twilight fans who won't stop talking bout it (coz my cuz is a fan but is not obsessed) to MARS!!!!
 
Personally, I couldn't give a shit about these "books"

I can picture millions of braces-wearing 14 year olds wishing it was them in this god forsaken piece of shit.
IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU. NO VAMPIRE WANTS TO FLY AWAY WITH YOU INTO THE NIGHT.

Way to help poison the minds of young readers with this spam, Meyer!
Maybe a vampire will come stop by your room and take you away, I can only pray

Most ridiculous shit ever.
 
Wow, I actually thought I was the only one who thought like this and I'm glad I'm not. I do agree, Twilight is pure 100 percent hormonally confused, teenage girl evil. We should burn the books, all of them, before the youth of every country is lost to this shitty trend of what we call the Twilight series. Thank you all so much for hating it as much as i do.
 
Me too

I hate twilight too. Edward is an abusive gary-stu. Bella is a codependant doormat.

Twilight spoiler: Bella whines for five hundred pages.
 
I cant completely agree with anyone on this... i luv twilight but i read this book before it became popular. i read it in like 2005 when stephenie meyer came to one of our schools for a book signing for a book hardly anyone had ever heard of. so i kind of grew up with the books and i feel like i am one of the first fans. im sick of all the fanatics who go crazy over a book i read long before them. i still luv twilight i just hat all the raving it gets!
 
I hate Twilight too.

I have to admit, I too, when I read the books I loved them completely and found myself daydreaming like any other warped young teenage girlie mind that I was Bella and you know..Edward..that sort of stuff.

Until, they started to become a huge hit. Suddenly, I found myself finding every little thing wrong with the book, and yes, all of my friends are obsessive over it. I swear, when the Twilight movie comes out in November..I'm staying FAR away from the cinema. Dx
I am fourteen but I'm not some desperate teenage girl who has no idea between real life and fantasy. I dislike the plot..to me there is not much plot in the story after all. I can certainly appreciate Stephanie Meyer on trying to stop the typical vampire cliche..fangs..garlic..wooden cross stabbed in heart but she goes way off. Perfect? Er. No. In literature, perfect characters are very boring. Plus..I don't get why all the girls love Edward so much. In the books, he basically controls Bella..and when they barely knew eachother..watched her while she slept. Creepy enough to you? It may sound somewhat romantic, but I certainly don't want some guy staring at me while I sleep.
 
I Hate Kristen!!

okay so where should i start! the book is dumb and the movie is going to suck! Robert is hot and kristen is b**ch! She cant act !she is horrible! The movie looks like it is going to BE cheap and dumb! i really hope theY wont make any more movies it really is a waste of movie. Besides that the books!! suck ass! the last one was the worst! I THINK HE SHE just didnt know what to write so she put random shit. THE BOOKS SUCK ASS! THE MOVIE IS GOING TO SUCK ASS AND KRISTEN IS A DUMB B*TCH THAT HAS SAID SHE THINKS ACTING IS JUST LYING!! WELL THAN KRSITEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ACT IF YOU DONT LIKE IT!! DUMB ASS!
 
DUDES........TWILIGHT SUCKS and the authot Stephanie Meyer or whoever it is needs to take grameer lessons,yup it's preety much the nonsense that 13 and 14yr girls would like to read.I'm 13 yrs old and I hate Twilight......Twilight Stinks ;p
 
I hate Twilight.

I used to love Twilight! No, Stephanie's success did not make me change my mind. It's not the success I care about, it's the fans! I just think the book has become totally overrated. Everywhere I go, somebody is ranting about how good Twilight is. I read up to Eclipse and stopped in the middle. After the first book, The Twilight Saga was horrible. Stephanie went over-board. It's ridiculous. Even if the book was amazing, people overrate it! Everybody acts like Stephanie is a legend. I disagree. You can't compare Stephanie to William Shakespear or Nicholas Sparks.
 
I hate Twilight. [2]

I also want to add, that Stephanie has bad grammer. She uses too many of the same words. She goes on and on about the same thing.

Just as all twilight fans are entitled to their opinions so are the people who dislike the books. We do have supportive ideas behind us (unless you haven't read this thread thoroughly, I suggest you do). We don't like the books. Don't read this thread if it's only going to upset you to the point of a pointless attempt at trying to make us feel bad about ourselves.
