[BOYS] Have any of you read Twilight?

[HotelUser]

So I know a lot of girls have read Twilight, but I was interested to see if any males around town have read the books, and what they think of them

[Mathew]

I bought them for my Mum for Christmas and she's read them all. I had the intention of reading them after her but I watched the first film and it's put me off - they just seem so slow moving and boring

I'll stick to Harry Potter, thank you!

Hehe my explanation is exactly the same as this... err... except for that Harry Potter part.

I actually watched the first Twilight film in French (LOL I was bored, okay?) but there was nothing "special" which happened.

Although I despise Twilight, I don't think it is fair to categorize it as a girls only thing (I know you're not but the way you've posted the thread makes it a bit like that). I'm sure plenty of males read it too.

no, it's boring & vampires and werewolfs arn't really my thing

I am sure a lot of males are interested in it and have watched the film/read the book but in my opinion it is kind of aimed more at the female market. I'm not really into reading so I haven't read it, I'm sure one day I will end up watching the film though.

I read half of the first and had to put it down. Stephanie Meyer cannot write.

[KyoraStryker]

Never read it, don't plan on reading it.

[Nixt]

I've read the complete saga. It didn't particularly appeal to me - they are slow moving in the books too (Mathew highlighted this in the film), the whole Jacob / Edward thing is drawn out and made really annoying and Bella's emoesque depression is categorically the most annoying thing I've ever read in my life. I also hate the way Meyer appears to want to make every so ridiculously lovey dovey and happy. For example...

Show Hide

It would have been far better if at the end of Breaking Dawn there was a massive vampire war and a few people died

but no!

They weren't great, but they weren't excruciating to read either. I just don't start a book / series of books without finishing it, so I carried on.

the books are terrible... nerimons great for pointing it out

[Agnostic Bear]

The films are so ridiculously terrible the books seem like a waste of time to read.
Also I don't read books.
