Of course, to understand why these are funny, you should be familiar with the books. Eek. Anyway... :-P I think the books are quite fun to read, even if - to me, at least - it goes downhill from the second book on. I loved Twilight, New Moon not so much, and Eclipse even less, and people kept warning me that I might not want to read Breaking Dawn because it's really bad, and surprisingly I didn't find it that bad! I would say Twilight and Breaking Dawn are my favorites. :-P This whole Twilight phenomenon is interesting because even though I didn't really think the books are awesome, I still couldn't stop reading them. They just suck you in, kind of.

I liked vampires waaaaay before they were popular *pout*

When you had to struggle along, aged 15, with 10 pages of Anne Rice writing about how the light glinted off some lace... ;D

I read a page of Twilight on Amazon and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Dear god. No wonder reading standards are falling! And from what I've heard, the characters are terribly irritating and you want to punch them. Never a good start.

Me; I love Lestat ;)

What disturbs me most is that some teenagers ACTUALLY believe these are GOOD literature! Their English teachers should be ashamed.

Before they were popular? Pre-1997 then? Because Buffy made vampires popular. ;D In fact Twilight is almost like a cheap rip off of the Buffy and Angel love story (which was far better done).

Ok, I liked vampire books before they were trendy, then ;) Oh, how I loved Buffy! Especially Spike ;)

I tried Dracula but couldn't get along with it.

And I agree with people thinking it's good literature... argh!

Comparing this Twilight garbage to Buffy is blasphemous. Buffy was the greatest vampire epic of all time. It's like comparing Ernest Goes to Prison with The Shawshank Redemption.

Lol. Oh I agree totally. I think Stephanie Meyer's books are a very poor imitation. Buffy was brilliance. Twilight is pretty awful.

Last year I bought my wife the Buffy Box (all 7 seasons together in one heavy-ass box.) We watched the entire series over the course of about three months. Haha.... and will probably start over soon.

I haven't read Twilight, but I've heard some excerpts from the book, and the writing is terrible. The way to really tell if a writer is halfway decent is by the dialogues and conversations. The word "said" should be used most often, rather than other verbs after a vocal statement is made by a character. I just know these two horrific quotes from the book:

"'I'm sorry,' I apologized."

"'I'm really sorry,' I apologized again."

Q#$^!#$!$^#$#! Don't the words "I'm sorry" already express that it is indeed an apology? Is the character making a declarative statement that her name is "Sorry?" Who's on first?

HAHA that's brilliant! This confirms my suspicions that Meyer is, in fact, a giant douche.

I love the Twilight books... guilty pleasure I guess.

But I swear if I read another story that has someone who purses their lips, I'm going to effing scream. It's like all of her freaking characters PURSE their lips 24/7. WTF! Even in her non-Twilight series books they do it.

I think she learned that word one day and thought it was cool and made it her personal duty to share it with the world. BLECH!

My fave is definitely

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."

"What a stupid lamb"

"What a sick, masochistic lion"

I also like "you are my life now"

I just read this on an anti Twilight group on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=21713800974&topic=11105

The thing I have against Twilight is this: I am riding on a train in Germany and I overhear a conversation between a comrade Anti-Twilight and a Twilightey. His arguments were that it is poorly written, no substance, no drastic statement, and hardly a piece of literary art. He gives examples, cases, points, and even quotes. The Twilightey, a 17 year old high school student, standing practically defeated, replies (and this horrified me) "I hate reading books with those challenging words and intelligent themes. I hate pushing myself to read and seeing others push themselves on a stupid book. I love reading things that won't challenge me."'

That really saddens me! :(

But, gosh, if those were the words the student used, that demonstrates an admirable amount of eloquence, honesty and self-knowledge - more than I've ever heard before from anyone who has expressed similar sentiments. Although I suppose it is translated from the German, so maybe a rather loose paraphrase was used!

I know a lot of people with that attitude though. But they read to unwind and relax - they want a relaxing hobby rather than a challenging one. Sort of like the people who prefer a relaxing holiday lazing at the beach to an adventure holiday climbing mountains (a preference I can relate to! ;D).

you know reading isn't my most favourite thing in the world, and i don't read for a challenge either, but for fuck's sake i'd at least like what i'm reading to be well written. whether it's shakespeare or a john marsden book [he did the "tomorrow, when the war began" series]. actually i'm reading john marsden's version of hamlet at the moment, haha ;D

meyer cannot write. at all. or, actually she can. like a 13 year old. she's supposed to have a bachelor's in english. how the hell did she get that? she constantly re-uses phrases and words. it's so repetitive and annoying. antikörper already gave a great example of how bad at english she actually is.

I really liked the books, I am on CH 3 of the third one. I don't think that it was written poorly. I mean it's not up there with all the classics, but it has a fun theme, and it always keeps you guessing; that's what I like alot about it. I also think Robert Pattison is hotter than the sun. Everyone has there on taste but most of the men hating on him are just jealous.

^ ^ I love him and I'm not fat! lol
