Twilight... the books... should I bother at all?!

I've read all four Twilight books and I loved them, but I can't speak for you. I definitely think they were worth reading, but I know loads of people who disagree. It depends on what kind of books and what kind of writing you like to read. Personally, I'll go for anything as long as I like the story. I liked the story in Twilight. I'm not a fan of vampires (despise them actually), love triangles, or paranormal romance... but I liked the series anyway. Give it a try if you're really interested. Check it out from the library or borrow it from a friend.

I've read the books and watched the movies; I think it really depends on your personal taste. If you're macho and tough person-like, you'll probably hate them. If you enjoy melodrama and hopeless romantic-ness, you might like them. I love the books because they're guiltily addicting; but when I take a step back and look at them in a different way they're very much like soap operas, LOL. I don't think the movies are great, but I believe Rob Pattinson is gorgeous. w

Hi hmouse. I've read all the books and seen the first two movies, and you can not keep me away from seeing the rest of them. The books are, admittedly, written for a teen audience, but people of all ages are enjoying them. I'm glad I read the books before seeing the movies. It made the characters seem more easily understood. I don't mean the obvious things...I mean motivations and ideals within. It's all a personal choice. I know many who love the whole "Twilight" experience, and others who can't stand it

I like the movies, I watched both parts, but I didn't really feel like reading the book. Sometimes when I like a movie, I would try to read it too if it's based on a book (I read Jurassic Park after I watched it and I have liked Michael Crichton's books since). For the Twilight series, the atmosphere is nice to watch on screen but I would imagine the book to be a bit dry, more like a diary kind of story, so didn't really motivate me to read it. Just my personal opinion.

I have not read any of the books or seen the movies. If anyone can convince me otherwise I will try but to me they do not look appealing. I have heard the books are grand from many people though- if you are a fan of this type of thing!

hi hmouse20, i read all four books. it depends on what your taste is in books. if you are looking for good writing and profound thoughts you will not find it in these books. the writing is extremely simplistic and geared towards teens and tweens. however, the relationship between edward and bella is addictive and will keep you reading until the end. my theory of why so many people love the books is that romance is always addicting; it makes people feel alive. so if you want to read an intensely romantic story about two people being together against all odds but don't care about the quality of the writing then these books are for you. by the way i loved these books. i am not saying that they are bad. i just can't compare them to other great books.

i've read all four books, plus the e-book, midnight sun, which they say is the 'edward' version of twilight. i liked them all better in books. the movie feels like they left too much details out. for me it's worth reading because i like teen romance. i guess it depends on you if it's worth your time.

I didn't like it. I read one, can't even remember which one. I think it sucks. But that's just my opinion. It's just not my taste. I haven't seen the movie, and I don't even want to see it. I don't understand what others see in it.
