i am wondering when the world will get the memo that people of all ages hate the twilight series. not just adults. im 16 and the literary homicide she did to the vampire series kills me. and i know im not the only one who thinks the same and is the same age(or younger).

There is an entire WEBSITE dedicated to hating twilight, it’s fans, and especially Ms Meyer. There are probably several others as well. Twilight sux. End of discussion.

P.S. HP’s American sales is more than Twilight’s entire worldwide sales.
We win.

Part of it is also trying to redefine boundaries in life: the rebellion is trying to become more of an adult, peer pressure creates fads, and in experience makes them unable to understand the idea of good works of fiction and bad works of fiction. This has always been the case and is what make young people so exploitable.

Actually, the direct definition of a moronic is doing something twice and expecting different results. In others word Failing to learn from mistake. So yes you are a moron if you don’t learn.

If you can’t see political content in a book (I won’t say novel in this case), then you have no leg to stand on as far as criticism goes. Everything has political and social context.

You do realise that Shakespeare doesn’t present things like beating your daughter as positive, right..? Do you read R&J thinking ‘good on you, Capulet!’? If not, then your point is void. Shakespeare was incredibly liberal in a lot of respects for the time he was writing in.
Twilight is religious propoganda. It is riddled with errors and Meyer hardly manages to substitue the word ‘said’. A book shouldn’t be allowed to be lacking just because the imagined narrator is.

Maybe you should cite your sources…? You certainly don’t seem very reputable.

To be fair, a lot of teenagers are stupid. So are a lot of people. You seem intelligent and insightful for your age, much to your credit. Faith for the future!

Shakespeare’s asscention to the level of respect he currently holds is quite recent. Much of Victorian England hated him. These things go in fads.

He was a talented man, for sure, but yeah – not the best thing to ever happen to Literature. Still worth reading though.

What’s sad is that “Demon In My View”, which Meyer basically ripped off to make “Twilight”, has next to no readers, despite being at least three times as good and a fifth as long.

Oh, we read good books alright. That’s why we don’t read Twilight. You’re too lazy to go out and broaden your horizons, and discover a new book or five.

I was recommended Twilight by a friend. I read a lot. She doesn’t. I hated Twilight. Says a lot about ratio of number of books regularly read to how much one can tolerate Twilight.

Twilight is awesome. You just don’t like it because you’re too lazy to read a good series, so you figure that you should make fun of it. Loser.

Actually, Tolkien tried not to become influenced by Christianity. Any resemblance was just C.S. Lewis rubbing off on him a little bit.

When Twilight is being read 500 years from now then you can say she’s as good as William Shakespeare.

I’d like to disagree. Although I’m not too much of an LOTR fan, it has lasted more than long enough to be a fad book.

Implying that Robert Jordan is underrated is a laugh. He gets much more credit than he deserves. I’ll agree with you that his writing style is very nice. I find it combines correct technique with flow better than the authors of the books that you mentioned. All the same, LoTR created a world much better than Wheel of Time did.

He is much better than Rowling of Meyer, though. At least in my opinion.

You might enjoy David Gemmell, as well. Along with Jack Whyte and a few others.
