I read all the books.  I have enough hate for any adaptation that may come down the line.

I got through 3 pages or so of the first one and threw it back at my friend.

When I was in Florida in April, my sister bought Breaking Dawn, and started reading it. She got about half way and it was evident she was forcing herself to go on. She's a fast reader, and it took her like 2-3 days to read the other ones, it took her like 2 weeks to read the last one. She said the writing had gotten so bad and so half-assed that she was only going to finish the book to finish the story, and that was it.

These are her expert reviews:

Twilight: Decent
New Moon: Okay...
Eclipse: What the...?
Breaking Dawn: :vom:

My belief is that I don't want to be one of those assholes that hate it without seeing it.

Granted, but I also did not see the Hannah Montana movie, and am fairly certain it is a steaming pile of dogshit.  Life is too short.

I do have standards. But I also can say that I've seen an unfortunate amount of Hannah Montana episodes to KNOW that I wouldn't like the movie.

But people had to leak it onto the internets. Now you get no book. FOREVER.

a) made fun of her
b) caught onto exactly how much of a cheap and easy profit making venture this book was actually was

Well, as hard as it is to judge something like a manuscript/1st draft, I guess with it being actually in Edward's POV rather than Bella's it was really weird and not as well written (har).

Has anyone read The Host? Apparently it pisses off Twifans because it's not Twilight and actual sci-fi...or something.

It's like me and Harry Potter. I like Harry Potter, I read the books, I've seen all the movies in the theatre...and then the fucking fans ruin it.

Oh yeah.  The best bit was the fifth book was just a rehashing of the first book, but from the other main character's POV.

QuoteHas anyone read The Host? Apparently it pisses off Twifans because it's not Twilight and actual sci-fi...or something.

I haven't, but I know people who have.  Apparently it is actually quite readable...not groundbreaking, but competent.

So I hear, anyway.

Here it is all screaming fangirls, apparently.

Also, I should probably re-read the book, just to remind myself how horrible it truly is.

How did you do it?
I couldn't get through the first half of the first book
:sad:
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.
Dante
