I was kidding, I couldn't care less haha, the only reason I read them was because my mother did, yes my 30 year old mother read Harry Potter AND liked it. Better hope she won't get her hands on Twilight.

You'd better make sure she doesn't. My aunt (the mother of my Twilight obssessed cousin) is obseessed with that book too. She and my cousin forced me to watch the movie with them last summer. It was a nightmare.

You have an evil aunt and cousin. I'd rather rip my own heart out with a spoon.

Thing is, everything about the books (and films) is plain piss poor. Poorly written, poor characterisation, lame plot and complete rape of the supernatural vampire/werewolf genre. Honestly, the author needs to get a Thesaurus and expand her vocab and adjective use as it's just plain repetitive. Even Charlane Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books are better (although written poorly, still not as bad as Twilight), at least they gave birth to True Blood.

I know, I was just watching a guy read the book on youtube. I have never seen such a bad written book. I mean lines like "tears were silently running down my face". WTF is that???!!!

The biggest plot twist was when he read the info about the author and it said that Stephenie Meyer had a degree in English literature.
