Get the Twilightmug. A series by Stephenie Meyer that has sky-rocketed to stardom on account of a movie version of the first book.
The story revolves around two main characters, Bella and Edward, falling in love and subsequent misadventures.
Everybody here seems to be professing that they are examples of bad writing, however, there are not many valid reasons around.(also, if you can't spell or construct a sentence, I don't see how you can say that it is is badly written)
1. "OMG vampires SO don't sparkle! And she's totally stealing Anne Rice's idea of vampires who don't drink from humans." - So what if it's a new idea? Was the concept of vampires drinking from animals new? Yes. And Anne Rice stole a few herself.
2. The film is terrible, therefore the books are by association. I wouldn't actually know. I have refused to watch it for a number of reasons. It looks awful. The actors are lumps of wood with voices. I like the books too much.
3. They're too perfect, yet at the same time you say they are controlling, cheating, lying bastards. Well, really, too perfect? They are controlling. They are over the top. They are neutral characters in many ways, but they do have some flaws.
4. Character Development, lack of - I admit that they can be a little melodramatic, but it's fiction and you are meant to suspend belief. There is not much insight into thoughts and emotions, perhaps this is an example of a different STYLE not a bad one. Some people like to only hint at reasoning so you will have to figure it out yourself. Maybe this idea that there is someone perfect for you will encourage the "teenie-boppers" to stop being such sluts.
5. I'm not saying it should be a classic, I'm just giving a different opinion on it. I like it, I'm fifteen, I read and understand classics. I can discuss themes, issues, viewpoints, context, etc. ad nauseam. According to my teachers I am so good at english that I could get a top grade if I did the Leaving Cert now, they also think I should be doing English in University. Jane Austen's books are romantic, so is this. It is not as good, but it is enjoyable. Rightly so, a lot of time went into it.
(if it's badly written then why would it be addictive?)

Person 1: Anne Rice's descriptive style is so ravishing and artistic. I think she's the most novel and interesting writer ever. Twilight is a rip-off with bad writing.
Person 2: Actually, I thought that Rice was one of the worst acclaimed writers I've ever read. Her writing style leaves much to be desired. A plot for instance. I did, in contrast, find the under-rated ideas of love-at-first-sight and desperation in Twilight interesting. Though mainly I read them because they're actually enjoyable.
Person 1: I hated the movie though.
Person 2: That doesn't make the book crap does it? I haven't seen it anyway, I stayed home watching the Beeb's (BBC) Pride and Prejudice. It was really good, six hours and very true to the book.

Get the Twilightmug. A somewhat decent series of books by Stephanie Meyer. The main problem with the books is the people who read them: THOSE FUCKING ANNOYING FANGIRLS!! Twilight quickly became the Jonas Brothers of books and movies, since a Twilight movie was released November of 2008.
The story involves Isabelle Swan (Bella) who falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen (who can read minds, has super speed, and apparently can give any girl an orgasm at any time.)
Facebook is flooded with groups and bumper stickers of how much these girls love (and i mean LOVE in a disturbing way) Edward (Along with other people in the series that are less important)
The movie version gave girls the opportunity to have an actual picture of what he looks like instead of trying to make one up while fingering their pussies, because no guy would date a twilight addict like them. It was also a bold move for Rob Pattinson, who played Edward Cullen, because he made the choice of getting a shit load of money at the cost of every straight boy in America hating him.

Dracula would be pissed off if he saw what Twilight did to vampires and their public image these days.

Get the Twilightmug. I know that loads of haters will go aginst me but I don't care. Twilight is a book / movie about a girl named Isabella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington and meets the strange Edward Cullen. She knows that he is different and wants to find out what he really is. After he saves her from being crusshed by a car with inhuman speed and strength, she knows that he is not human. She finds out from her (soon to be werewolf) friend Jacob Black, that the Cullen family, supposedly consisting of two adults and five adopted teenagers, are vampires. Edward admits to it and tells her to keep away from him, as her blood appeals to him more than anyone else's. The Cullens are 'vegetarian' vampires, meaning that they don't drink human blood as they want to be good vampires. Of course Bella can't keep away from Edward, and her life suddenly becomes endangered when a sadistic vampire called James decides to kill her. her life is saved, once again, by Edward. The other books in the series are New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. The movie of the first book, the one I just described, Twilight, has been made and the others will be soon. In my opinion, the Twilight series are great and if you haven't read them, I would.

Get the Twilightmug. A fairly incredible book written by author Stephenie Meyer, which although apparently lacks literary devices is still fairly captivating. It is important to note that not all fans are obsessive preteen little girls who are infatuated with Edward Cullen - the fact that these people even exist annoys the living hell out of me, because it ruins the book's reputation and makes it seem like these are the only types of people interested in the story.
I'd like to bring up the fact that not all that many romance novels are original when it comes to vampire/human relationships - the only reason Anne Rice did such a good job was because she was practically the trend-setter; it hadn't really been done before, so how could it be cliche?
The fact that people here are complaining first that Meyer was unoriginal but then that she 'changed' how vampires were supposed to be is incredibly contradictory - make up your minds, is she meant to stick with what's there or change it to be original?
I honestly think that the movie will ruin things even more, because the crowds there will be a prime example for all of you to rub in the faces of the 'sane' people that enjoy the series.
For all of you that think that there is no character development, or that the same things happen from one book to another, read 'Breaking Dawn'.

Preteen Twilight Fan - 'ZOMG TW!LIGHT IZ TEH BOMB!!1!!1!ILUVEDWARDLOL'
Ignorant individual who hasn't read more than half of Twilight - 'Psh, look at that, that fan is an idiot so therefore only idiots like the book, also it is cliche and because vampire/human romances have never been done before that just means the book is stupid and lacking talent'
knowledgeable person who has looked at all the facts, read all the books and managed to stay a sane individual lacking an Edward Cullen obsession - The girls mad about Edward Cullen are just preteen kids ruining it for the rest of us, and the 'higher-than-thou' attitudes of those people who dislike the books probably only do so because they're reading for literary devices, not a captivating story.
Grow up already, stop trying to act better than other people because you can diss out a book because it wasn't written in the 1800's, and just read to enjoy the damn book.
Or, don't read it, but stop insulting all of those people that do.
