I openly dissed Twilight for years because of my vampire book faves (Interview with a vampire, Bram Stroker's Dracula, Salem's lot) all adult books...I believed that vampires made for the young adult audience are hokey and boring.. I thought wrong A friend of mine more or less cajoled me into reading it and after I returned it to her the other day I was like "... I need the next one"
I'm probably gonna buy it in the next day or so....

Well, Broker, I don't like the Twilight books, but I will say that they are addicting. They're laughably bad, but they're like Pokemon-- you've gotta catch 'em all. I personally read the first three books in one day.
What I don't like about Twilight is the characters... they're too dramatic, the way they talk and interact is not realistic, and they just aren't likeable. Edward is repulsive, Bella is obnoxious, and Jacob (though the most appealing of the bunch) is just a scary, scary jerk. But the first three books aren't the worst books I've ever read... THE FOURTH IS. Even Aku, who likes Twilight, hates the fourth book. I think you will, too.

P.S. -- Schmerg, i doubt you haven't heard of this already, but i just found out about a website called Godawful Fanfiction: a compilation of laughably terrible fanfictions prowling the internet. i'm warning you, though, there's some stuff on there that creeped ME out, and you know how desensitized I am, so i would suggest excercizing caution...

I think Jacob is a very interesting character, in fact, the only interesting character in the series (except Leah, a little). The part from his point of view in the fourth book is so much better-written than the rest of the book. But I don' think he's likeable. Sometimes, I just want to give him a big hug, but he's so often so overdramatic and downright obnoxious that I just want to punch him the face. Which I seem to remember Bella has actually done, to not-so-successful results.

You know, Seth is cute, but I like Seth and Leah as a duo. Because Seth can get a little bit cloying on his own, and Leah's a bit too bitter on her own. They balance each other out, like lemon juice and sugar water in lemonade.

wow I finished eclipse the other day And I found Jake repulsive... Or maybe just a little immature... i mean...I guess because he went through puberty in a period of a couple days I guess you can expect him to be a little bit immature...but what he did to bella in the end of the book was a jerk move....

Very True! *High Five* That is why i like Seth best. By the way, how do you get a guy to read the twilight series? My to best guy friend (both named Ben) absolutly refuse to read it even though all of us (My group of awesome idiots) is trying to convince them too.....

I think Jacob is really disgusting. But I also think he's interesting. I think Edward is repugnant AND dull. So I prefer Jacob, even though he makes me sick to my stomach, because I'm always interested in what he's going to do, and I never am in Edward's case.
DON'T GET A GUY TO READ TWILIGHT. They always love it, and then they don't stop talking about it and you can't get them to go away. And the reason WHY I hang out with guys is because I'm hiding from the Twilight-loving girls I know.
