Im a rand in this section, and I'm just curious if anybody in this section actually liked the Twilight Series. I have read this series along with several other series and thought that it was piss poor. Curious what your opinions are.

P.s. I looked through the first few pages to find a twilight topic and havn't, but I do apologize if this is a popular topic of discussion for newfags

I didn't mind it. I mean, the first few books were very poorly written, but she learned a lot writing them I guess and got a tad better.


I think the real reason everyone loves twilight is the world she creates---definitely not the poor writing. It's a very interesting story and the world she manages to create is pretty epic

A world with twinkling vampires and abusive non-human boyfriends? A world full of misused synonyms?

abusive boyfriends? did I miss that part?

I absolutely despise the fact that the author refuses to allow any permanent dissapointment in the series. The lack of action was disturbing considering the potential the author had with her created world.

Much of Edward's behavior has been criticized for being overly controlling to the point of borderline abuse; see http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/11/twilight-lessons-girls-learn/

It personally weirds me out that he watches her sleep, but I guess some people apparently consider that romantic. Honestly, I found the book to be boring more than anything. She had some good ideas buried under it all, but the writing style was fanfiction-esque levels of glurge.
