[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 473498"] Ok, so I really agree. A bunch of people in my english class go on and on about it, so I decided to give it a try. When I did read it, I actually kind of liked it, but there were some things that really bugged me. First of all, there is no substance to these characters. The "glue" in Edward and Bellas relationship is that Edward is hot and is at the same time very dangerous. Me and my friend were talking about this, and we decided that if Edward didn't look the way he did, their relationship would fall apart. There is nothing in these books that suggests that they like each other for who the person actually is, its just superficial stuff. Also, these books are very predictable. I won't give anything away, but I could always tell what was going to happen before it actually happened, which is not very appealing to me in a book. I agree that there is so much more literature out there that need attention. If someone really needs a teen novel fix, just go for Harry Potter. Those books contain real life situations (I mean the choice between right and wrong/easy) with characters who are actually like people. They have very human feelings and experiences that make them who they are. If you need a romantic fix, thats in Harry Potter too. All of the conflicts are relatable to pretty much any teen out there. All of this said, I feel that the twilight books are not great, that there is so much more out there that is so much better. I guess if you do really like them, enjoy them, but don't go crazy on people if they have a different opinion. Everyone has their own opinion, and those must be recognized and respected. [/QUOTE]
