Twilight 

A really addictive teenage fantasy romance book that causes millions of millions of teenage girls to go without eating/sleeping/talking/studying/school/TV/friends/a life in fear of putting the book down. I was one of them.
And i know it isn't the greatest book ever written and it is cliched and it doesn't have a real character development and the plot isn't great but........ i don't care! Its just something about the book that captures you. Some element, and its not just edward cullen (the hottie of the book). Its just the escape from reality the book offers that is appealing. It suits teenage girls demands perfectly. I know it doesn't have very much 'vampire' fights and scary stuff, but thats not what the author wants to give to her readers.
Teenage girls aren't that into that sort of stuff. And its stupid to slate the books, just because they don't suit your demands from a book. You don't see all teenage girls slating the inheritence trilogy (which i admit i did read) or whatever else boys are into (not being 1, i wouldn't know). And don't start saying that i wouldn't know a good piece of literature if it smacked me in the face. I've read more books than i care to remember and very few of them fit the teenage romance bill (what you classify as stupid).
So lay off the Twilight series boys. Its not something you'll understand because admit it, you don't know how the female mind works. No matter how much you think you do. And i admit that some of the plot is a little strange. But theres no need to slag off stephaine meyer's version of a vampire. Its her book, she can do what the hell she likes with the characters. Noone forces anyone to read the books. And i don't see any of ye earning millions off anything you've written.

So basically, to sum it up, Twilight is a really really addictive book for girls that boys will prob never get. Ever.

Clueless skeptics: Twilight books should be torn apart and burned so they can never be read again
Twilight reader: You so read the book

Clueless skeptics: I saw the movie and the books are probraly just as bad
Twilight reader: The movie ruined the books. Rob Pattitson and Whats her face didn't do Edward and Bella justice

Twilight. Let's see, despite how much bashing this book is getting, it really is a wonderful and addicting novel. It's a love story between a vampire and a human girl. Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan.

Isabella (Bella) is the new girl in the small-town, Forks. Edward is the vampire--posing as a human--she falls in love with. Bella is Edward's 'sweet thing' so to say. Her blood, of all people, would taste the most exquisite to Edward. However, he fights his lust for her blood because he falls in love with her. Why her of all people, it's hard to say. Maybe because she truly is different? He can't read her mind, she's oblivious to his attempts. I actually believe that their relationship does have chemistry. It's in the way that they can relate, and she knows he'll be there for her, and in the same way, she's there for him. They're sarcastic with each other, but ever so adorable.

The point of the story is how can a human-vampire mixed with a few werewolves relationship work? Will it work? Will the love last? Not to mention all the struggles they go through before it's decided to make her an immortal vampire because they want to spend their 'infallible love together' forever, and that she's being threatened. So to speak, the Volturi want her to be a vampire. At least, Aro does. "Yaaaaaaay Bella! Let's make you a vampire! Now!".

All in all, this book is not your average vampire book. With the garlic, burn in the sun, batty nonsense. It's about good vampires, in a realistic point of view. Haven't you ever thought someone to be so beautiful, it's not possible for them to be human? Hello Mistah Vampire. (:

"Eternity will never be enough, and eternity we'll spend our infallible love." -The Spill Canvas

"...And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." -Edward
"Stupid lamb." -Bella
"Stupid masochistic lion." -Edward

This is... Twilight.

A Book released in 2005, which was written by Stephenie Meyer. Most people fall in love with the series due to the main character, Edward Cullen. I found it to be one of my favorite vampire romances ever, and it's extremely captivating. Words cannot describe the emotions the Twilight Saga makes you feel, and i'm not talking about fangirl Edward emotions. It shows the greatest type of bond between mortal and immortal. If you read one, I suggest reading the other two, New Moon and Eclipse. But if you discover this series, don't give it to your friends, because they'll become hypocrites. But if you value the greatness of this series, I beg you not to see the movie. Movies always ruin books, and the casting director is blind, so the movie is going to honestly shortchange the books. So just don't see it (:

Hypocrite: What are you reading?
Me: Twilight.
Hypocrite: What's it about?
Me: A vampire who falls in love with a human. It's amazing.
Hypocrite: OMG FREAK VAMPIRES ARE SCARY.
Me: In this book they're good.
Hypocrite: Whatever, you're a freak.
-movie is released-
Hypocrite: OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE DID YOU SEE EDWARD HE WAS SO HOT AND OMG I LOVE VAMPIRES -runs to read books-
Me: You judged me for reading this book a while back.
Hypocrite: Whatever, no I didn't. Go read Twilight or you fail at life.
Me: I've already read it.
Hypocrite: No you haven't. Only cool people have read it. And you're not a true fan.

see my point about the movie?
it shouldn't be released.

Twilight 

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.
