I'm glad I found this thread. I still can't understand why people like this book so much. I can see why teenage girls might like it, but adult women? Come on! I read it and know about ten other women who have read it and about half liked it.
In this case, I think the movie was better than the book.
How is Eclipse and insult to women?? Okay, Breaking Dawn I can kind of understand where you are coming from but Eclipse? It has the most action in the entire series! I'm a girl and I love it.
I totally agree. That's why I read them. But really for all of who keep bashing it... How would you feel if you wrote something that others loved which made you happy and then came here and read some people tearing it up? I'm pretty sure it would hurt your feelings. Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinions but really its just a book! You can hate it or love it but don't go telling people to not read it. Let them make their judgment. Tell them that it wasn't a good book for yourself but that they should try it.
Also, even though some of the characters were boring and Bella and Edwards relationship is impossible, It's true love for them. None of you here can honestly tell me that you have never thought or dreamed about meeting your perfect match. The one who will love you forever no matter what and can make your day better in a heart beat. Everyone wants it for themselves. We are human and that's how we are.
We all want a happy ending.

I have to disagree. I think that it's an idea which has been overdone and used up, and there is nothing original about the stories, but the style of writing is so uncomplex and different to what i usually read that I was interested by that alone, though i quickly saw through the plot-holes and 'complexities' (over-statement of the century) of the story

You can say that againCan you imagine Darcy sneaking into Elizabeth's bedroom and watching her as she sleeps? Or playing around in bed with her father downstairs?
That said, I have to admit I did find Twilight addictive - I acknowledge it's many flaws (as pointed out previously) - but something about it got me hooked. Yet to read the sequels - but I did enjoy the first.
I know a BIG Fail in this book...
A man...Whose blood doesn't run...HAVING SEX!?!?!?

I know the feeling. I've read all the books, and while they're entertaining in an odd way, they're not that great. If you really like this genera then maybe pick up some L.J. Smith. I know a lot of teens think she is new to the scene, but the truth is that she was writing books when I was a kid. They're not as angst filled as the Twilight series, and that is a good thing.
My biggest complaint about Twilight is that there is nothing real feeling about the characters to me, but then I'm not a teen anymore so I can relate much less. All the emotions are so much bigger than life, and the books do a good job of focusing on the melodrama of being a teenager. Overall I would just say they're mediocre. The story isn't that good, but then it fits the target it was written for perfectly.
Contrary to Harry Potter, this book is incredibly gruesome to read. Maybe it's because of the fact that there are TONS of things to analyse in Harry Potter whereas Twilight's story may be summarized to a single sentence: It's a beautiful lie about love.
