Random Poll of the Day! (526)

Only the second film. It happened to be on TV, so I wanted to find out just how bad it really is (yeah, I was biased against it before I watched it), and after seeing it - yeah, it was bad, I can definitely understand many people don't like this series.

Where's the "Burn it with fire" option?

I think that's a bit too obvious.

[Vylash]

I read about half of the first book, needless it say it sucks

[sonoci]

I got the first three books for Christmas


...never read them. ...Didn't even open them. My aunt hadn't known if I would like it or not so she made sure to be able to easily turn them in for a gift card instead.

I immediately took the gift card

But also: read all four books (to see what it was all about; needless to say, my hate from before I read them intensified), was dragged to the first two movies.

My thoughts exactly.  Sadly, I actually liked the books the first time I read them. O.o

(Forgive me; I was like... fifteen when I read the first.  Not exactly the picture of maturity and literary expertise.)

It was a while ago, and I read only the first one, and saw the first movie because a family member wanted to watch it with me. My reaction was meh, moving on to something else. I'm not sure why the series has inspired so much vitriol because it was just a herd of shoujo cliches that came out mediocre. I can see some resentment in that a rather lame book managed to become popular while lots of other better ones are overlooked, kind of a text version of Justin Beiber, I suppose. I'd put Twilight (the first one) slightly lower than Eragon, which was also an annoying herd of fantasy cliches that went on for way too long, and better than this Conan the Barbarian book I found in the back of my Dad's closet which was simply technically terrible.
Just as long as twilight doesn't reduce the volume of any good series being written and no one demands I read it, then I have no reason to hate on it more than any other blase book series. 

Twilight has had the irritating knock-off effect that it has become a lot harder search for images of dusk landscapes.
