Can anyone tell me if reading the Twilight series is worth it? I’ve heard a lot of conflicting opinions about it and I was just wondering :3
Can anyone tell me if reading the Twilight series is worth it? I’ve heard a lot of conflicting opinions about it and I was just wondering :3
Loved it! It got me into reading
Personally, I would read them.
I haven’t tried to read them as an adult but it was the start of my love for the YA genre. I think they’re definitely worth the read tho
Loved them
Loved it.
I loved them. It is what got me into reading.
I loved it I’ve read the series probably a million times because it got me through my parents divorce. I will always recommend twilight
I liked them?
I liked them. They’re a good easy read 🙂
Better than the movies
Better than the movies
The books are so good but the movies are horrible.
I liked them, better than the movies for sure. And they were part of what put me onto YA books 😀
Just start and decide then. Different people, different opinions ?
Yep I loved it too!
I read them when I want simple but romance
I thought they were poorly written but still entertaining fluff reading. The cotton candy of books.
There are always going to be conflicting opinions of popular things
Many people I know loved it and would strongly recommend it.
Sooooo horrible. Cringe bad
I loved it the first time when I was young and naïve. I recently reread it and it was so full of troupes and cliches that I could not enjoy it as I had before. Like seriously 3 days “knowing” each other and it’s a forever love? ?
Personally: my mother, my fiancé and I all loved and read the series in a week or less. I know other people who think the main character is dumb and whiny, or the relationship is somehow negative or toxic. None of my family thought this way though. So its all going to depend on your life experiences and view, and interests. I say try it, you dont have to finish the book if you dont end up liking it.
I read them before they were films, in fact I’d pre-ordered breaking dawn!
I loved the books, definetly worth it
You should try it and decide for yourself .
They are great
Honestly, it wasn’t THAT bad. It’s not great by any means IMO, but I’ve read worse. You should read it and decide.
I think if its something that interests you get it from the library. Lol that way you arent wasting money if you decide you dont like it
There are also always some at thrift stores.
To each their own. I personally enjoyed them. And even more then the Twilight series I loved her I off book The Host. You will never know one way or the other if you don’t try?
The Host was wonderful! Have you read The Chemist? Not nearly as good as The Host but still pretty good ?
yes, I preordered it and read it the day it came out. I do t know if my expectations were to high as I really love The Host, but I was really disappointed ?
I loved it
I enjoyed them, they are an easy read, and most importantly do what you want to do and read it.
If you can separate yourself from the story, it’s good.
I became severely depressed after reading them, and had a major crisis of faith as well after reading them.
It’s a guilty pleasure type of series. It reminds me a lot of The Selection, in the sense that I’ve read better but I still enjoy it even though it can be so predictable and cheesey.
I loved it. It is a really great love story. If I would have the chance to read it for the first time now, it might be hard to keep all the negativity out of my head about it, but I’m sure I would still appreciate the love story.
I read them all. I was excited for vampire fiction that took place in my state. Read all of them and my husband still remembers my reaction when I finished them. “What a horrible waste of time!” I hated it! Story was poorly written. I lost count of how many times I kept rolling my eyes at what was going on. I could go on but I won’t.
With that said, there is something for everyone. This was not for me by any means. But who’s to say it’s not for you? There’s opinions positive and negative for all books. If you’re interested, go ahead and give it a try. You’ll never really know until you try!
Im sorry but vampires dont glisten in the sunlight.
I’m not sure how to react to this. Love it or laugh at it lol. My husband remembers that part. He’s not a vampire fan but I made him sit there while I read that part to him.
This comment drives me insane. It is make believe! People don’t turn into giant dogs either…. magic isn’t real but you don’t see people attacking HP for having magic.
I mean how would you know if vampires glistened in the sunlight. ?? its always possible, they are fictional :3
Doesn’t mean everyone has to like it. I read vampire fiction for a long time before I picked up this series. When I came across that i read it a few times to make sure i was reading right. My response was “well, that’s an interesting spin”. I was very unenthused.
No, not everyone has to like it but it drives me insane that this one point is what everyone decides to use to say this serious is awful or whatever. There are plenty of different magic systems and dragons and hobbits and elves and whatever. I just don’t understand how people think that vampires can only be one thing, one set of rules.
I’m probably not explaining myself very well lol. Does that make sense?
I wish I could sparkle in the sun. Vampires aren’t real so they can be and do anything they want.
I understand what you are saying. But if someone wants to use this one point as an example of how they feel its bad instead of getting into all the details, meh, i see no problem. I say the same thing. I’m pretty particular about my vampires I like. If someone asks me to expand on it, i will. Some people enjoyed this aspect of the story, others did not. But to me it’s a simple way to say i don’t like it and this is an example why in one quick go.
I loved them when I first read them (about 15 years old) but I have re-read them a couple of times and although I don’t although I don’t enjoy them as much they are pretty good. Bella is a bit annoying to me now, but I still love all of the other characters, especially Carlisle ?
I loved the story. Its terribly written but is a great story. I remember reading them all in about 3-4 days the first time I read them about 12 years ago.
Guilty pleasure in my opinion. Theres some things in the last book that had my raising my eyebrow but I thoroughly enjoyed the series. It’s what got me into fantasy to begin with.
Yes
The books are good, the films were horrific
I freaking love them!! I read them when they came out and many many times since then. I actually just read them earlier this month.
I liked them overall. It just takes some work to get past some of the fantasy inaccuracies. Lol
I loved it!
I loved it , I was honestly very unsure and out of reading them for awhile, but once I started reading them I couldn’t put them down
Yeah! Book 1 is great, book 2 was a let down, book 3 was great again, and book 4 is my favourite!!
Agreed!!
Book 2 is the hardest one for me to get through
Is it poorly written? Or just boring…?
Or both ?
Spoilers would be the only way to explain lol.
If you want to a reading buddy I’ll totally read it with you
Book 2 is boring for me. It’s written okay.
I loved it!!! Much better than the movies!!!!
The movies were good as well!
I loved that series. Once a upon a time I read it every year.
Loved them when I was 15. I think if I read them for the first time now (mid twenties) I would still like them but probably not love them.
Don’t bother with the movies tho.
The movies are great!
Soooooooooo Worth It!!!
I feel like it’s worth it if you’re younger but I don’t know if I could read them now.
The books are much better than the movies!!!!
Worth it definitely better then the movies
I enjoyed them when they were released. Some books are worth reading just so you know what everyone else is talking about!
Worth it!
I loved it a lot and still do
I think it’s worth it
Don’t
To be honest I found whole series a wonderful experience from beginning to end you at least try it for yourself and not worry what other think about it….hope this helps.
I find it an entertaining read! I read it way way back and was obsessed lol. But now that I’m much older I have discovered much better writing. Read it to be entertained but not expecting the best story you’ve read 🙂
waste of time. the books got worse at each volume.
No lol
I thought the books were really good. I feel that the movie that gave it a bad rep.
I loved it
I would go in with an open mind. Don’t let the actors of the movies be the people you picture in your mind. That kinda ruined them for me. I did love the books more than the movies.
It depends on what kind of stuff you like to read
I didn’t connect with the characters, they really dragged down what could’ve been a good storyline.
The books are really good.
Well I’ve read it 7 times ???
Yeah, the books are much better than the films, they’re a good read
If you haven’t seen the movies it is.
No
No
I love the first 2 movies.
They’re pretty unique, changed the world of YA fiction. I began reading them because someone leant me them, felt obliged, but I ended up getting caught up in their love, didn’t want to leave that world for a while. Worth a try I reckon.
Find out yourself. Because no onebut you can answer n everyone is different. To many people have fought about.
I enjoyed them but the movies spoiled subsequent readings a bit cause you are told what they look like, etc and all that crap about stalking, etc I hadn’t even thought of when I read them.
Books are better then movies.
I read the books before it became a movie. I loved the books and I loved the story. Tge books are always better than the movies.
Yes, books are better.
Give it a try. If you don’t like it at least you’ll know and move on to the next book.
That’s what I do when there are a lot of conflicting ideas about it’s certain book.
The movies are a completely different experience but cool in their own right. First time I read book two my best friend had,a seriously broken heart, I was hurtling for her, and book two said what I felt she was feeling. But once I wasn’t feeling that anymore it was a bit hard to connect with that bit.
I didn’t finish them all because I hated the last book so much. I enjoyed the other two though.
That was the series that made me fall in love with reading. Tbh
Me too!!
The books are fantastic!
You will not be disappointed
If your an avid reader it won’t take you more than a week or so to get through. It’s not great, but if you’ve got them might as well
-the books are great if you know what you’re getting into. Bella is not a badass lead character she is just a human in a world with mosters and sometimes it’s ok to be weak. Most humans are. If you like a certain type of character maybe these books are not for you. I think the series missed some amazing plots like developing more the backstories of the characters (Alice fore example, she could have easily had a series of her own with the life she’s had) and the vamipre universe itself could have been expended. Lots of potential but it is what it is. But I have to admit what she did with Jacob was just wrong, that whole triangle sucked.
Really well put! I agree. With the spinoffs I think SM got burnt out by all the attention and also working on the movies she said she couldn’t help seeing the actors instead of her characters.
I say read it. I read it in 2007, but my 7th graders want to read it this year. I liked it.
Meh…
Don’t waste your time.
Still love it!
I was the same. But I actually found that I enjoyed the book series which took me by surprise.
I only liked the second book.
Its good
I really liked it
Twilight got me into reading because it was so hypted up at my school. Afterwards i discovered harry potter.
I love them. ??
Nah
It’s all depending on the reader. People either love it or want to set the series on fire. You have to give it a shot and see what you think.
The books are way better than the movies.
I’d say go for it. But don’t expect anything great from it
I read them I liked them
Yes definitely !!! The books are ten times better than the movies !!
Really needed more Carlisle parts lol
Books are good and an easy read. Movies were awkward and cheese.
The first one is good, second is super boring, next ones are crap. ?
Personally I hated it but you should give it a go because you may enjoy it.
I still love them ❤️
It worth it ! All four of them are wonderful!
Breaking Dawn was my favourite ?
I read those books when i was about 16 and i think it was good at the time..but compared the books that I have come across since then..it pales in comparison sadly x
Still give it a go ! They were still a good read ! ???
It was when it first came out…..it’s rough now lol
It is, but only so you can complain about how dry it was afterwards. Bonus points if you watch the movies too, although those are HOURS of your life you will never get back.
I love them all♥️
Yes it is
I really enjoyed it!!
First one meh…by the 3rd one it’s good
I personally don’t think so, but if you’re curious, you can always try the first one and see what you think of it! I liked it when I was a lot younger, so I suppose it also depends what you’re into!
Its decent. I mean it’s not the worst series in the world it’s just looking at it it is kinda creepy.
I love the series and have read them multiple times! And I only read a few books more then once. 🙂
I enjoyed when I read it back at the beginning.
It’s definitely a guilty pleasure for me. There are some problematic things about it for sure but it’s enjoyable if you just don’t take it too seriously.
Absolutely not!
I really loved them
huh, they were ok I guess. I mean I personally did not like the series but I guess it is ok as a filler book if you have nothing else to read. But as I said I personally did not like it.
They’re what got me into reading! They’re not the best book int hw world, but they are fun to read and genuinely worth it in my opinion. You have to be into paranormal romance and love triangles and stuff though.
I bought the box set of all 4, read the first one, then gave the box set to a friend. There were typos and grammatical errors, it was a bit cheesy writing for my taste. Didn’t help that I was also watching videos by Alex Day on YouTube aa he read the first book.
