Why I Hate Twilight

You’re as right as hell.

wow. couldn’t agree any better. Twilight sucks as hell.

I agree on every point.

While I don’t think Twilight is the greatest book ever, I think you’re reasons are pretty lame. I think a lot of people are angry because someone became a HUGE “success” on such a simple idea, that I personally had seen plastered all over online fiction communities (quizilla, fictionpress, etc.) years before Twilight came out. I read a lot of stories on those sites that were far better and more original than Twilight, but I wouldn’t go so far to say that Twilight is a HORRIBLE book.

It obviously appeals to young girls, and I don’t see why people are so keen to crush them by telling them that’s it’s a horrible book and a waste of time. I’ve read books that were far worse, but I don’t see anyone bashing those nearly as much as people are bashing Twilight. I’ve read every book in the series, and while I definitely wouldn’t say they are my “favorite” books, they were enjoyable in a sort of this-is-entertaining-and-I-don’t-have-to-think-that-hard sort of way.

So in summary, while I agree with some of your reasons, I think the vast majority are pretty insubstantial and lame. There are definitely a lot of better books out there, but there are also a lot more that are worse. In all, I think it’s a good book, and for whatever reason, you are writing out of spite or jealousy or some other uncalled for emotion.

Umm, Real quick bring it down a notch. Okay, so This is the Internets (this is referring to comments #9,11,&12) Yes you are allowed to have your opinion and yes The person who made the list is. I understand that you don’t like reading about people badmouthing your favorite book, BUT, THIS IS THE INTERNET Seriously, The author is ALLOWED to post his/her opinions here, If they didn’t what would the internet be filled with, I don’t understand why you read the list, why just be like “Oh a list badmouthing Twilight, I like Twilight, I best not read this, for fear that I may become enraged…” Just calm down. Please? or don’t read posts that upset you

Isn’t the wafewolf Jacob a pedophile in a sense? I mean hes in love with their baby… right? at least thats what my sister tells me. And she doesnt see whats wrong with him loving a toddler. oh well- joss weadon is in his ivory tower laughing.

Ok I liked Twilight but this list is pretty funny (and mostly true), so to you other people who say who ever made this list didn’t read it, I think they did. Stefanie Meyers really did not create good role models for any one in these books. Her other book The Host was much better.

Yo, #25 Connor: You don’t get it, go to youtube “i’m on a boat” T-Pain would so win. This book is perfect for teenage girls with relativley inactive imaginations, beyond that, it’s tripe.

I feel like you are ignorant and can’t accept change. Why can’t someone write a book that sways from the typical “vampire” without people getting butthurt over it? how cute. Books are books, if you don’t like it move on

I read all four books. I hated them immensely but was oddly drawn to finish them, excited to finish them even, which makes me feel more than just a little bit less then I was once.

The writing is terrible, the errors are to numerous to count and the heroine is nothing but a sad sap of a girl, illustrated even more startlingly in the movie, yes I watched it, I beat myself with a soap filled sock afterward.

My daughter has Edward and Bella posters in her room, I can’t even bring myself to look at them without thinking of the contradictions to my parenting they espouse. I let her love them anyway, against my better judgment. I am sure she will not grow up to be a ridiculous woman who relies on men for her overall satisfaction and success in life. If she does turn into that, most likely I won’t be blaming it on Twilight.

You’re reasons are about as good as the reasons some love the series. Could have done a lot better. And make sure your semantics are correct before you criticize others’. You left out at least half a dozen “is.”

A few snorts and at least one chuckle… try harder next time.

I agree. i read the books simply to understand what the fuss is about. However, thank god for them. Now, thanks to Twilight a whole section of society will never reproduce thanks to their obsession waiting for their Edward. And this should be celebrated… who would want weirdos that are obsessed completely by fictional characters to reproduce anyway?

I agree, Twilight (and the entire series) is grossly over rated. I also agree with most of your reasons as to why it is stupid; although your accusations of terrible grammar would have been more effective if not for your own errors.

By the way, Harry Potter was over rated too.

If I were to say one positive thing it would be this: The books may be average and a little trashy, but at least they have kids reading.

I do believe that some of you all need to review the basic rules of either British grammar or American grammar. Yes, they are different, and many of you violated multiple rules in one sentence. To those of you who are clearly seniors in high school, it’s called a dictionary and can help with the completion of words in the proper context. The post was funny, and reading the comments was like watching a car crash in slow-motion – I wanted to look away, but just couldn’t.

I can’t tell which is more amusing, the list, or the flame war occurring in the comments ^_^ Good show!

This list made me laugh a few times, and although I’ll agree that a lot of your reasons for Twilight being crap are groundless, they still made me lol a little.

I’m glad someone pointed out the fact that people saying your opinion is rubbish and shouldn’t be allowed to exist are showing an opinion themselves. However, I’m surprised that Twilight fans have been dissing someone for reading the series. How can you have a go at a person who has actually taken the time out of their life to give this series a chance?
“You didn’t enjoy it, don’t read it.” Er, a little too late there really, seeing as you have to read it to actually know if you enjoy it or not first. Besides, like I said, at least the author of this list actually had the common decency to read the series before she attacked it.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t read the series and I probably won’t just because it’s been hyped up so much and I’m now totally aware of the fact that it’s a complete and utter girly wet dream.
For me, the only good things that came out of Twilight are A River Flows In You, by Yiruma, and Decode and I Caught Myself by Paramore.

Oh, and I’ve also got to add that #89: “Light Yagami doesn’t approve of Twilight so neither should you” actually made me laugh so much and appreciate the author of this list. If they have good enough taste to have read/watched Death Note and to refer to it in a completely unrelated piece of writing then I high five them with all my heart.
Hail Kira!

Numbers 69 and 70 have grammatical errors. Males and females are different sexes not different races. Otherwise I agree with most of your comments.

I have a doctorate level degree and majored in English literature. I understand the criticism. It is not great literature and not an example of healthy feminism. With that being said, I enjoyed all 4 books. It ends too cleanly, but for those of us who read fluff for escapism, it is enjoyable.

#54, at least kids are reading. I am not advocating throwing out Shakespeare and reading it as part of a curriculum, but people can read for enjoyment’s sake. Frankly, I care about that.

You are entitled to your opinion, but many of your comments were whiny and immature… Maybe there is some pot calling the kettle black.

I agree that Twilight is an awful series and that the fangirls can be annoying as anything but in reality when you read some of this list you are just as bad as them. Seriously, when you justify not liking something because “so and so doesn’t like it” you sound just as much as a follower as all those you are trying to make fun of. Also, though I understand that this is supposed to be written to comedic effect, when you make a list of reasons to dislike things, try to avoid things like 64 and 95. They really are not reasons, not even opinions really. Just space filler.

Your my hero

I won’t go so far as to say that you’re a complete idiot for hating Twilight, in fact, I won’t even get mad, but please don’t get snarky at others for reading a book and enjoying it. Maybe nobody in that book is really well developed. Maybe they fall in love too quickly for it to be real. Maybe it’s not a perfectly written book. I don’t care. I, for one, read books just so I can enjoy them. If you didn’t like the book, that’s perfectly fine, but please don’t go around telling other people that they’re complete and utter fools for liking a book that was written to be enjoyed. If most of those fans are teenage girls, well, I guess we can see who the book was written for.
And please, if you are going to tell people what a bad book it is and why nobody should read it and why it should be burned for the good of humanity, give good reasons. Don’t throw in stupid things that aren’t true. Or at least, be reasonable with what you put in.
Ah, whatever. I probably digressed in there accidentally.
One last thing: you said that Twilight fans don’t have good grammar, right? Well, look right above my post. “Your my hero”. No apostrophe, no period. Unless you’re going to get people to agree with you who love taking the extra five seconds to make sure their three words are properly written, don’t use that as a reason not to read the books. Good God, I could use this last thing as a reason why someone should read the series. Well, no, ’cause it’d be a very bad reason, and anyone worth two grains of salt would be able to see as much. Ah whatever. You’re entitled to your opinion. I just hope you read the books before passing judgement. You can’t judge a book by its readers alone. Not all the people who read the books fit into one of two categories. It is possible to enjoy them without becoming a giggly fangirl.
At least I hope so. It would be extremely awkward if I grew a uterus. I’d have a lot to explain if I ever got a girlfriend.
And on that light note, I’m off. Have fun arguing on the internet, boys!

Rofl, love it! Here’s one for you… a friend of mine had a coworker tell him that his girlfriend dumped him because he “wasn’t anything like her Edward”. He thought she was cheating on him… until he found out she meant Edward from Twilight! Can you imagine being dumped because you weren’t enough like a fictional douchbag?

It’s probably not a good idea to complain about poor grammar when your own list is just as guilty.

Grammar Guy: She is not publishing a book, she’s writing a list.

I don’t understand why people compare HP to Twilight in the first place. I’ve read Twilight and a Mary Sue cannot be compared to a wizard fighting for what is right.

dear lord! I looked at the comments, and wow! can nothing be spared from angry people attacking other peoples ideas? we know you Twilight lovers enjoy that book series, but some people don’t like it. This list was made for people who didn’t/don’t like Twilight. if you don’t like it, then don’t read a list called “why to hate Twilight”. I had contemplated being an asshat, but that would make those of you who love Twilight even more pissed off.

i love twilight but i think the writing and stuff sucks

um and also harry potter is better

I have to admit that I read the first book, kind of. I really don’t remember the book at all. It was that lack luster. I can deal. I was just in high school and I swear to all Gods in the universe that if I hear one more pathetic, no brained teenager scream that Twilight is the end all be all, I will go Clockwork Orange* on them. That’s right, classical music, Twilight,and no way to shut their eyes. Soon, they will be disinclined to make a “Twilight will pwn your soul” comment. Besides we all know that Bella Lugosi and Gary Oldman, can truly play vampires as they were meant to be seen, through Bram Stocker’s eyes.

*Clockwork Orange was written by Burgess, all right doth belong to him.

You know what i think is funny. I’ve actually started reading these series & liked it… But i agree w/EVERY point you’ve made on here. It’s definitley “CLiche” & in no way is it Better then Harry Potter.. absolutely no way!

Oh & You know I’ve been thinking that the WHOLE TIME… “Why is it called the Twilight Series?” Like w/ Harry Potter, that’s the name of the series but Twilight… There’s like no name… I get so confused everytime i ask for it at the library. I’m like do i just ask for the New Moon or do i say New Moon, the sequel to Twilight or do i call it New Moon from the Twilight Series (which never makes any sense to me). I have NO Clue. But yeah good job… I guess.

LONG LIVE Harry Potter.!!!

I too hate Twilight. However, this list is almost as badly written as the series itself.

Love Harry Potter.

Twilight itself= meh. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I am rather disturbed by their relationship, which is unhealthy at best, codependent and emotionally abusive at its worst.

Ultimately, Buffy did everything Myers is trying to do 500x better, with more complexity and authenticity, 10 years ago.

Twilight fans are what make me go crazy. My sister is one. But she’s not one of the abusive ones. I can make fun of it to her and she sticks out her tongue and moves on. I’ve seen people get seriously chewed out for so much as mentioning they aren’t crazy about the series, though. That’s not cool, kids. I’ll defend Harry & co to the last, but I’m not gonna attack someone outright just for saying they don’t like him. I understand. If they want to get into it, I’ll get into it, but here’s a tip, Twilighters–just saying, “You are so wrong they are the best you are stupid!!!!” isn’t a defense, it’s a straw man attack. Ah well.

I couldn’t even finish the first book. I simply can’t read page after page of how Edward is perfect and Bella can’t, for some reason, live without him.
My main problem is figuring out why Edward liked Bella so much, especially after getting to know her. She has zero personality.
If he can read minds, I’m sure that in the span of a hundred years he read some pretty intelligent minds…
Also, the kids choose to do high school over and over again. I wish Meyer would have explained how they got driver’s licenses or permits with old birth certificates. I mean, we can’t really ignore the real fact like these just so the story can go smoothly and Edward can go to school and drive around…
Good job coming up with the list. I enjoyed reading it more than reading Twilight!

65 is sosososo true.

“Wasted money on the stupid film. But its a fact that twilight fans r super defensive abt that film. WTF im not allowed to say it stinks instead let u bore me to hell abt its story????????
PS Its a super Queer movie”

and even better…”OMFG!!1111!!! TwiLite is sou gay and dum!!11one!!!”

Twilight haters’ grammar isn’t so hot either

Twilight is overrated, its true. But y’know…its alright to read. If you don’t go in thinking “THIS IS GONNA BE AMAAAAZING.”

You and the others who compiled this list are my heroes. Seriously. I utterly despise this series. It is poorly written and I completely agree with your statement about adjectives, because, no just since you can use a bunch of adjectives does not mean you are a real writer. Give a first grader a thesaurus and I’m sure that kid will be able to produce something of more substance.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so you crazy little fangirls out there need to get your knickers out of a knot and calm the hell down. I mean, just the other day I was in Barnes & Noble and saw the Twilight books out on a table in a display for a middle school’s book wishlist. I remarked to my friend, a fellow Twilight hater, “These books are absolutely horrendous. They should not be allowed out here.” A girl sitting nearby heard me and looked at me with such loathing. She immediately slammed her book shut, stiffly stood up and walked away, shooting me death glares as she left. I mean, come on, honestly? Grow up.

Want to read a real vampire series? Try the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Anyone can make a book into a movie, but a book into an appraised television series on HBO, now that requires actual literary skill.

I used to be good but now it just sucks and i think the only reason people think its ‘good literature’ is because they don’t know what good literature is because they are 13 years old and because the book is really easy to read so they think that’s what it means. Try Dracula, now that’s a good book.

66. T. Pain would totally win Bella’s heart and beat up Edward because he’s on a boat.

This one made me laugh so hard. When I was in High School I liked these books, but the more obsessed people become the more I want to just forget I ever read them.

I read the whole series so no one can accuse me of not reading the books and not knowing what I’m talking about (although i don’t remember half of it because quite frankly nothing notable went on), and i read Twilight before anyone besides people that lived in Forks (my best friend’s grandma) and ate lunch at this small cafe. My friend bought it because she thought it had something to do with forks, and decided that it was half decent but not worth much rave and passed it on to me read. It’s not a horrible book because quite honestly there have been worse written, however in no way is Twilight worth half the hype its getting, in fact it should’ve stayed in the clearance sections of those small cafes in rather remote areas instead of filling shelves at every book store in the US. The poorly developed plot, lack of real drama or irony, and dull characters made for a very recycled book. The only reason i kept reading was with the false hope that eventually there would be some wild plot twist to amount to the hype. Needless to say that never happened. Now many of the fan’s excuses include; but it’s so romantic, the moral of the story is grand, and she uses such imagery. There are authors that use much better imagery than stephanie meyer. At any local bookstore you could pick up a better written romance. Does love conquer all? I don’t know but i surely don’t need a long drawn out series about a handsome vampire and a blande heroine to give me a generic answer.

As for this list?
Spot on.

Ok, to number 15, seriously, if your parent or your friend’s parent isn’t like that, doesn’t mean ALL parent’s aren’t like that. I recently visited my friends house, and we went inside, she got her keys and money and just left.
Do you know ALL the parents in the world? I’m pretty sure you don’t.
This whole list is stupid, everyone has their own opinion, right? You shouldn’t be against their opinion just because it isn’t the same as your nonsense.
Ok maybe Twilight wasn’t so well written, but it’s a huge success and you should deal with it.
EDWARD CULLEN! TWILIGHT! (=

89 made my day. Thank you so much. I do enjoy the twilight series, so dont go assissinating anyone or I’ll have to go all Ryuzaaki/Nate river/Mihael Kael on you.

I actually liked Twilight (though I’ve only read the first book), but I still agree with everything on this list… lol It was an entertaining read, but in no way was it the literary masterpiece that the Twihards think it is.
On that note, WTF to all the comments?? Jeez, some of these posters are just making themselves sound exactly as ridiculous as they’ve been accused of being.

Haha. I guess you’re right about some Twilight fans not being able to spell or understand that you’re stating your opinion. If you’re actually offended by reading this list (which I think is pretty funny and some of the reasons are legitimate), you’re digging your own hole. You make all Twilight fans look like the fat kids from high school who didn’t have any friends. Like Meyer.

So what, if the list is stupid?

And P.S. It’s not difficult to write a book if you know your target audience and have an editor. You people are a disgrace to the halfway literate portion of the human race.

I think that the list is amazing and hysterical. I only read page 2, thanks to StumbleUpon, but most people don’t understand that the basics of this was stuff nerds like us understand. T. Pain being on a boat is from an SNL Digital Short. Chuck Norris. Well, that sells itself. The fact that the majority of those defending a poorly written series, are choosing to ignore the bits and pieces they do understand:

If someone writes about your poor grammar, stating something that you would most likely deny if guilty, you absolutely do not fight back with PROOF that it is a fact. All of the Twilight fans I know have HORRIBLE grammar and use chat speak on a daily basis, so thanks for proving that with your stupidity. Not the author, the obnoxious fan girls, which includes children, teens, and adults alike.

Another factor that annoys me about the defenders, is that they don’t seem to understand that it is not necessary to post PARAGRAPHS of false reasoning. So maybe the reasons that the author gives are a bit far-fetched, but most of them are entirely true and cannot be denied. Stephanie Meyer has really nothing to be proud of except for the fact that a) She has tons of money and b) The money comes from a mob of rabid groupies that probably stalk her. Oh wait, NOT a plus.

I’ll leave it all at that, because I know that I will probably be tracked down by said mob, and have my head bitten off for the mere fact that, the people against Twilight have the best intentions and reasoning. Even if I DID like Twilight, I would only admit that it is a funny and correct list.

xoxo Meg

you people all need to get a life

This list could’ve been great had you only used proper grammar and spelling… BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR CONTRACTIONS! Also, avoid repeating things MORE THAN TWICE! It starts to become very annoying.

Hey wow, everyone totally has to comment even if they don’t have anything to say… wait… oh damnit all.

I agree with most of your points, and did, in fact, find the Twilight books predictable with little to no character development for the truly interesting characters. However, inexplicably, I love the series. I have read all four books several times and seen the movie twice. I am doubly embarrassed by this fact because I am not a mindless tweener fan girl – I am actually a married adult female, and have no known mental disorders. I explained to my husband that these books are like empty calories for my brain.

This make me smile, even laugh a little. And yes I am I huge Twilight fan. Own all the books, bought the movie, and went to a 12 o’clock showing of the movie. The books were far better than the movie was, the movie was a way to different. In my point-of-view the books were really good. I’ve read all kinds of literature but that doesn’t change the fact that I like Twilight. And I agree that Meyer was eh-okay on her writing, but you have to keep this is mind- this was her first book ever, and it all started with a creepy dream she had. Stephen King has written over 40 books with that he cannot judge an amateur writer. Anywho- Being a teenager, I can say that girls are head
over heals for Edward because Meyer makes glittered men who watch you at night and is over protective sound damn sexy.

And to the people who is totally bashing on Twilight, calm down. You’re just as bad as the people who are far too protective over Twilight.

So my friend sent me the link to this. I took the time to read it and found out two things: 1. Most of the reasons are repeated.. several times and 2. The Chuck Norris joke was absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, it was a little funny, but a complete waste of your time. If you hated Twilight (and the rest of the saga), why did you take the time to put all the reasons down when you could simply have said “The books suck.”?

P.S. I loved the books.

Yes the book and movie is tripe…and should be banned for sheer stupidity.

apparently, it was a girl who posted this is a girl. sorry again for referring to you as the dude gender.

if you have enough time to post this…you obviously have no life which means you are right on par with those who read and/or are obsessed with the twilight series..

Honestly, I don’t think your list was very well-presented, and you repeated a lot of the same points more than once… Perhaps that was for effect.

I wasn’t impressed with Twilight, but I can see why teenage girls would like it.
Each to their own.

Ok so I read the first book all the way through. My friend recommended it to me and told me it was “the best book he’d ever read.” So I gave it a shot. I got about halfway through it (dragging my ass the whole way through) and asked my friend how in the world he could think this was the best book ever. He swore to me that the last few chapters made it worth it. So I kept reading….and reading…and reading. Eventually I got through the entire book, and was still not understanding what was so great about it.

I understand the appeal to the specific audience it was written for, pre- teens to late teens, primarily girls. I’m totally cool with people enjoying the book, to each their own and whatnot. What I still have trouble understanding is how it got to be so rediculously popular so quick. I mean seriously, my friend who recommended it to me was, at the time, a senior in high school who would never read a book out of pure enjoyment if his life depended on it (I know this because he told me). So my main gripe with this book is that I have no idea why people such as my friend, and hundreds of people like my friend, who have never taken to reading any books ever had suddenly become so obsessed with these books… it just makes no sense to me.

And as far as it being good literature, people who think that were probably dropped on their head as a child….repeatedly…

what I really don’t get though is why this book becoming popular has turned into world war 3. ITS JUST A BOOK. CALM DOWN. I don’t care if your part of the obsessive group or pissed off group but would everyone get over it?! It’s just a book! and you guys realize that the more you complain about it, the more known you make it, and that makes this go on longer, right?

You forgot to mention that sparkling vampires would make Bram Stoker spin in his grave like a top.

Haha, I love Twilight but I still have to agree with some of the stuff you wrote. It also helps me not to be angry because it was so funny!

I think that it is silly that you spent this much time dwelling on something that you don’t even like. 95 reasons is a bit excessive.
Also, yes a lot of twilight fans are ridiculous 13 year old girls, but I can assure you i am older and not a “rabid fan” who thinks I have vampire powers. Please do not put all of twilight’s fans into such a terrible category. The books are good, and I enjoyed reading them. I did not see the movie and I do not think the books are the best pieces of literature out there, but I do appreciate them for what they are and I think people are too judgmental for their own good.

Funny I feel this is based more on the movie than the book!!!!!

I haven’t read Twilight. But girls who like Twilight move onto Anne Rice and then Dracula and then classic horror. Pre-pubescent girls are reading- I can’t complain. Their taste can improve with age.

I am a guy that loves Twilight. I am not gay. I don’t like it for the whole sparkly vampire crap aspect of it. I like it for the storyline and the characters (i.e. Carlisle, Alice, Jasper).

You have the worst reasons in the world for why Twilight sucks. Take #94 for instance….”It’s offensive to the male and female race and just the entire race as a whole.” Since when are male and female RACES? I’m pretty sure those are genders.

Also, since when is Bella the perfect character? Bella is clumsy, plain, and extremely pale. I’ve always thought that perfect women characters were beautiful and graceful.

You fail at life. Period.

I might have missed it in the comments, but otherwise I’m surprised that many of Twilight’s flaws mentioned here in the list and in the comments are being blamed on the author. An author’s job is to write a good story, yes (and by good I mean by definition, not in one’s opinion).

But there is so much more to the process once a writer has a book deal. Writing a book, as any author will tell you, is a collaborative effort. Which means it’s not solely the author who’s to blame if a book is less than satisfactory. As a copyeditor, it’s my job to ensure an author looks his or her best. Countless professionals read a book once a deal’s been signed. If there is anyone to blame for plot holes, grammatical errors, and poor character development, and any other inconsistencies or inaccuracies, ultimately that should be the publisher.

Aside from the author, who’s main goal is really only to tell a marketable story, the editors, copyeditors, proofreaders, and the like — who are paid to ferret out anything that make the book and author and publisher lose credibility and who should be making suggestions to the author so he or she can produce a well-crafted story — are responsible for putting out good-quality fiction, regardless of whether it’s by Meyer or King.

Ultimately, however, if the main objective of a publisher is the bottom line, which it is, kudos to Little, Brown for recognizing a marketable story and series when they saw one and for advertising it to obvious great effect.

Kudos as well to Meyer for following a dream (most of all) and for creating characters and situations that, while fantastical and flawed, even sometimes irritatingly so or annoyingly limited in emotional range, yet allowed millions to relate, which is a main reason that many, including me, liked the books in spite of recognizing amateur writing. While it’s true Meyer’s writing leaves something to be desired, especially in a technical sense, she *can* and likely will get better with practice. And seeing as publishers usually demand more from a successful author, she’ll be getting lots of that. We just have to give her some room, some freedom to develop her own style and tell her own stories.

Well, Interesting list of thoughts you have for a book that has gotten so many books sold and them also turning into movies. I think everyone has a right to thier opion. I’ve read the books but I’m not going to share what I thought of them. I just wanted to say that you are allowed to share what you think, because it was published and I tthink you should have realized that you were going to get a lot of comments too.

This is hilarious, this list has so many good points, and the comments are great as well
I read the books and I liked them a lot, but it doesn’t mean I don’t realize that meyer sucks at writing, and that I need to bash someone who’s only pointing out the obvious as well as poking fun at the books
I don’t understand why so many people are upset about this, if you love the books so much, why are you wasting time reading a hate list about them?

ok people. just an effing book, get over yourselves.

No offense, but I have found the commentary following to be much more entertaining than the list itself. Yes, it is a list. Yes, it is some one’s opinions. It is a book. You either like it or hate it. Books were meant for enjoyment. If you don’t like it, don’t read it and forget about it. It is a popular series, but that doesn’t do anything but make people read it and buy it. I think it wrong to shove your own opinions on other people. So live and let live I say. Concentrate on other, more important things. If some one wants to bad mouth a book, let them.

I appreciate someone who is honest. Personally, I really liked the series, but I am not a “crazed teenage girl” who obsesses over the mere mention of Edward or any of the other characters. I am 26 years old and enjoy fiction stories. I loved reading your list and found most of the reasons you hate Twilight amusing. The rest I have heard before, so pardon the lack of humor on my part for them. I do have a comment on one of your reasons in particular, #77. I totally thought the same thing and if thought about more deeply by fellow Twilight readers, it is most disturbing in a real-life sense. You don’t like it, sue me. I am not dissing the series, just stating an obvious, and hysterical fact.

Sorry, but I loved the movie. Have not read the books. I honestly was not interested in Twilight at all until I rented it on PPV this weekend. I thought that it would be a silly vampire teen movie. But, I was so surprised. I personally loved the fact that it wasn’t just a blood and guts vampire vs. garlic, stakes, and holy water movie. It had a plot behind the vampire aspect. It was about love from different worlds, caring more about someone else than yourself, inner struggle, choice and consequence, etc…

Also, one of your c/o was about the sex aspect. What is wrong with taking a cult classic like vampires and making them moral. Why do you think they only feed on animals. She is creating an emotional side to the vampire character that I enjoy much better than …”oh I am going to suck your blood and make you one of my concubines.”

First off, total kudos to the author of the list for making this. I’m 100% sure you knew you were going to have hateful death threats from teenage girls everywhere, but you still made it. Way to be. Secondly it was funny, and from what i’ve heard of the people raving about how incredible the book is, the list is pretty freaking accurate.

Now that that is out of the way.

Everybody quit freaking taking everything so freaking personally! Did you write the books? i didn’t think so. Don’t be so offended when someone doesn’t like it. You like the book, great for you, you’re allowed to think its an excellent piece of American literature if you want. BUT! and that is VITALLY important word…. but, EVERYONE CAN THINK/SAY/BASH/APPRECIATE/SLAM anything they want to. It’s called opinion, it’s called personal preference. Don’t threaten to kill someone because they don’t appreciate a book that you pray to.

All I want to get across. Is stop being so freaking angry, its a book some people will hate it, some will love it. Why can’t everyone just respect that. Try saying what you think from a neutral standpoint instead of attacking someone for what they think.

Twilight fans. You’re incredible, keep loving it.
Anti-Twilight, try not to get too upset at those who love it, maybe someday they’ll learn. We can only hope.
Long live Harry Potter

I’m so glad that I came back to read the comments left after my own. I also find it hilarious that six new comments had been posted since coming back in rereading -this thread has really taken off.

I’m pleased that most (note MOST) of the mindless Twilight Edward-or-death! supporters have gone away and the newer posters in support of the book have included reasons not based on fallacies.

Thank you, non-fangirl groupie ‘tards. I support your informed enjoyment of the useless yet (as I hear) captivating fluff that is this book series.

Peace, love, and literature!

If anyone tries to compare Twilight to Harry Potter they are stupid. Harry Potter had a plot, Twilight is the ravings of a middle aged woman writing out her sexual fantasies that’ll never come true. I’m not trying to make fun of anyone for reading the series, they’re meant for entertainment but people take it too far in trying to say Stephanie Meyers has talent. That’s just not true.

You idiots Twilight is a rip of Anita Blake for little girls who don’t get real relationships. Want Vampires who are sexy and real MEN – Try a decent author. There’s hundreds out there from Christine Feehan to Laurell K Hamilton. It is creepy that this guy is hanging out for a 16 year old not even an adult. And people age of consent in Oregon AND Washington is 17 so it isn’t even legal.

Trust me, PacNW weather isn’t constant enough that they could wander in the daylight. And Vampires are Night Creatures. Read your Stoker and Palidori for Godess’s sake

Not a fan of the books by any means, I think the characters are without fail vapid and weak. However, I don’t really think it’s doing any kids long-term harm. I can’t seriously see any sane 30yr old women saving themselves for a vampire (although this is the internet, so who knows).
At least they get kids reading, never a bad thing. And frankly, I’m happy it’s not sexual. To whoever said they didn’t remember Anne Rice novels having substantial sex scenes, that’s quite wrong. There are a number of them, and her books in general are highly eroticized. I read them at 13 and honestly, I’d be happier having my kids read less graphic stuff at that age. Since the book is aimed at young to mid-teens, it seems right.

I liked Twilight before the hype.
I still like it, but it is quite simple and easy to make fun of.

It’s a good read when you don’t want to really think, or be challenged.

I dont need say antything else… you say everything what I need… Twilight (or Crepusculo here) its the worse book in the world… and more.. I hear some dumb fan talk “twilight its better than Romeo and Juliet” SHUT UP!

love it!

This absolutely made my day. Epic kudos.

The perturbing thing I found with the Twilight ’series’ is this:

Book One “Twilight” was tolerably written, and not a bad concept. I might finish that by saying this book on its own would have quietly served as a series without my explicit complaint.

Unfortunately the writing grew progressively worse and more convoluted as they wore on. It would stand to a logical form of reason that they should have gotten better, however only the first book had any clear inspiration or plan at all. Simply put: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn felt as if they were written to cash in on the first books hype.

As for inspired writing, read the classic John Milton book Paradise Lost. Powerfully poetic imagery, beautiful flow, and a fine manner of storytelling. Just don’t read the sequel, I can’t even remember the name, what I do remember was forcing myself to complete the book trying to understand why Milton ever allowed it to print. Anyways, that’s as far as I go.

Yes, I am aware of my own grammatical errors. Could have been worse, I read that overblown ego trip “A Million Little Pieces” by James Frey once too. For some reason I thought he was going to choke up a volkswagon piece by piece before the end…

Just my opinion mind you, and as for Stephen King he has a few worthy reads, but a lot of crap as well. Never take someones opinion of how terrible something is; You will never appreciate how terrifying a 350 pound woman in leather pants is until you turn and look yourself. Twilight is only a 300 pound lady in spandex

dammit, this made me want to read Harry Potter again.

BTW, awesome list. Made me chuckle. It was that horrific “can’t stop even though I want to” sort of thing that made me read all 4 books. It’s good fantasy fluff for when the estrogen spikes and you need girly crap… but other than that, it’s bad. Very bad.

I hope you don’t mind me taking a copy of this to my creative writing class so that I might educate on how NOT to write a book.

Wow! Funny! So much attention to Twilight–the author must’ve done something right–even if it wasn’t how it was written, I guess the story plot (or lack thereof…) — whatever, teens and other folks enjoyed.

It’s not the first movie that millions love and hate and certainly won’t be the last–enuff said!

We have the same experience, LoDub…I tried to read Twilight because my girlfriend was and still is very engaged to it. Out of curiousity, I tried to read it. But then, as a teacher of writing, I found the works of my students (3rd year high school students in the Philippines are only 15 years old) to be of better quality than Twilight. So, I did not even attempt to finish the first chapter. Likewise, when my girlfriend pulled me, literally, to watched the movie, I just snoozed my way out until the part where they played “the vampire baseball”

You sit here and talk bad about Twilight and the Twilight fans which means you have no life. You say that the fans can have their opinions but yet you continually tell people not to read the book. That is very childish of you in my opinion and I am a Twilight fan and I can use proper grammar and English.

After this I don’t will read this literature piece.

MARRY ME.

Twilight blows balls. These reasons made me lol.

Honestly i could school smeyer at writing in my sleep, no lie.

haha.

i read the twilight series and thought it was exactly what i expected it to be. MADE FOR TEEN GIRLS.

you dont go to a chick flick and expect it to be on the same level as a academy award winning drama.

teen girls are also obsessed over hannah montana and zac efron. I dont see anyone ripping them apart. Because they are as corny as the audience they are intended for, teen girls.

all of you obsessing over how bad twilight sucks are just as pathetic as all the girls that think twilight is the best book ever.

the movie however… THAT you can bash as much as you like. i watched a bootleg version online and couldnt even make it through the whole thing.

This is my theory:

You see, Twilight isn’t well written at all. Plus, I waited all 4 books for a plot to arise, and it never did. But here’s the thing; it’s the first book anybody’s read. THAT’S why it’s so popular. Girls who have never read anything else read Twilight and fall in love with it, but what they don’t realize is that it’s not Edward they’re in love with, it’s reading. They don’t understand that there are so many books out there that are much better than Twilight, because they’ve never read them.

I’ve read them, and they’re not that amazing.

But the reason I tolerated them was because they were an easy read, and I think Twilight’s a pretty love story. Not because they were well-written, in any sense.

It’s a good story, but it could have been written so much better by someone else. Even in saying that, some of your points are stupid and have no real basis. I agree that Bella has no personality in the movie, but the book does get a little deeper into her character. Either way, what is so wrong with letting teenagers just enjoy the books for what they are? At least they are reading. The books really aren’t challenging, but they can pose as a doorway to other literature in a world where reading literature is becoming scarce with young people. I applaud anyone who tries to aid in the intellectual development of the next generation, even if they don’t meet up to the standards that others hold them to.

Forget what people say this was really nice and i agree with the whole thing

If you’re going to write 95 reasons on why you hate a book, then next time you get butthurt and write a review, make sure you actually write 95 different reasons. Repeating something over and over again makes you look ignorant. Some people like the book, and some people don’t, GET OVER IT.

66… HAHAHAHA

You forgot to mention the annoying filler junk there was, like the side stuff about bella’s other friends (I guess you could call them friends?) is really pointless and boring just because no relationships ever develop between her and her normal “friends”. It’s like when you have to write a 600 word essay and only write 450 words, so you go through and change words like “can’t” to “can not” and add extra “the”’s and “it”’s.

Oh yeah and I wish I had a dollar for every time she overused the word “grimaced”.

But I mean I did find the books incredibly entertaining to read, I just wish it was written better, perhaps by a different writer. Some of the ideas are good. It’s a fun, very simple read- but is nowhere near being in the same league as Harry Potter. It’s too bad, the story had some potential.

Haha! YES! I’m not going to lie, I was cracking up the entire time I was reading this. Dear lord that was funny. I think I might’ve cried a little. And might need sleep. Regardless, great work!

i hate Twilight like balls

Yes the books are terrible. However, on your comment about Anne Rice, there is no sex at all in any of The Vampire Chronicles. That being said The Vampire Chronicles are my favorite books ever.

Also, totally agree with you about the character names thing. She completely stole the character Laurent from Rice.

i watched the movie. for some reason there are a whole lot of college aged women who think edward is hot, so they watch the movie, and though the book was amazing.

i wanted to puke watching the damn thing. i laughed hysterically when i saw his sparkling skin. he needs a haircut. and if he wasnt in twilight, the guy playing him would be looked at like a pale, pasty, emotionally disturbed kid on the street and most women would want to be with him. the plot was pathetic. there is only so much filler that can be used, and when there is no character development, its a waste of resources. there is absolutely nothing that calls out romance in this book. just whiny teenagers (even though one is over 100 years old) caught in a puppy love, and a cliche fetish thrown in. of course, saying this to my buddy in front of my gf almost got me crucified…

The reason why Bella is portraid as full of flaws, is because the book is written from her point of view- and she has a low self esteem. And as far as Edward being too perfect goes, that’s totally wrong. He has such a low self esteem, he has lived alone for hundreds of years, he’s oldfashioned, and over-protective and stupid at times. You really don’t seem to underdstand that just because both of the characters look good, doesn’t mean that they’re not perfect. If you’re such a fan of litterature as you seem to be, you should read the books yourself, and create your own image of Twilight. I think you might be surprised. Well, no matter what there will always be more people that love Twilight than the people who hates it. I don’t have a problem with those who just doesn’t read it because they don’t think they would find it interesting, but I just think it’s embarresing that you seriously use your spare time to write a list of 95 reasons why you hate Twilight. Do something better with your time, write a book.. Maybe it will be better than Twilight (ha!).

A few comments on the rest of the posts;

#16 – You obviously haven’t read all of the books to say this. Bella gets a better self-esteem, she grows up a lot, she apreciates her life better. Edward also gets a better self-esteem, he learns to loosen up a little, he realises that he isn’t destroying Bellas life. Jacob grows up, and realises that he’d rather have Bella as his friend than to not have her in his life at all. And other characters also develop a lot.

#25 The vampires in Twilight don’t have fangs. This isn’t dracula.

#27 Ofcourse she use the word ’said’ many times in the book. Stupid.

#31 What abour Aro, Carlile, Shioban, Laurent, Quil, Embry, Athenodora, Kachiri, Zafrini, Eleazar & Alistair? Are those names too normal aswell?

#32 Oh, and what was the name of the vampire you knew, again?

#39 Stephenies didn’t expect that 10 year olds would read the book when she wrote it. It’s not like she can forbid them to read it or anything.

Btw, I love Harry Potter as well- but, sorry to say this, IT HAS FLAWS TOO!

In the end, I’m just glad that I’m not you. And that I’d rather use 15 minutes defending something I love, rather than using 2 hours working against A BOOK that I hate. Really, if it was environmental damage or animal cruelty that you were finding 95 reasons to hate I would be aplauding – but a book. It’s embarresing. And you know it too.

(PS: If there’s any spelling mistakes, it’s not because I’m unintelligent, it’s because english isn’t my first language.)

First of all, yes, I am a fan of Twilight, but not because I think it’s a great book/ series. I like the originality of it and the way she’s put in aspects and plot twists that most people wouldn’t normally associate with the vampire/ werewolf myths.

That said, I do agree with parts of your list, but I have a couple major problems with it. Firstly, ‘breaking rules made by more esteemed authors’? The whole point of fiction is that you create your own rules. Just because Anne Rice or Bram Stoker came up with particular rules that applied to their characters, and authors since have stuck by them, doesn’t mean they *have* to be followed. There’s a reason we don’t know what a vampire exactly looks like: it doesn’t exist. So who’s to say a vampire couldn’t sparkle? Just because it’s not likely doesn’t mean Meyer can’t make up her own rules for her own books.

And secondly? ‘Edward is hot’, ‘Bella’s clumsy’, ‘we get the point’. Let me echo your own statement. We get the point. I have no doubt that if you hadn’t repeated the same thing over and over time after time, this list probably would’ve been half the length it is.

thank you you are a god in my eyes i saw the the movie with my friends and the only part i enjoyed was when bella almost died and when they blamed her injures on a flight of stairs made my day

technically you only wrong 94 reasons why you hate it.

wow get a life. if you hate the books so much why did you read them?

OMG
Twilight is teh bestestset book ever! get over it! ur just jealous!

I hate these books.

And I think the worst part about them is the fact that from now on every time a new vampire book comes out girls will be like “They’re trying to copy Twilight.”

And if you read “Vampire Diaries” (which was written long before Twilight) they are very similar. I think Meyer might have copied it a bit.

So true, i agree it was a very poorly written series, but it had a nice overall idea. Meyer set her expectations high and failed to achieve them. the series could have been great had it been written by someone else lol. Jacob was my fav tho regardless of the creepy pedo thing… eh OH! and i don’t even know where to begin with he movie i cant believe i didn’t walk out, probably since i invested time into the series i guess. who ever it is that plays Bella acts about as good as Meyer writes… so theres my two bits

I agree with you 100%. I was beginning to think I am the only person on the planet who is not spellbound by this series. I am reading through the third book right now, simply because when I start something, I am determined to finish, but all I can see is a co-dependent relationship, an incredibly possessive vampire, who would not be considered wonderful in real life. Edward would be scary, because it seems at any second he is going to explode with anger. The other thing is the fluff that is added into the book. The fact that he wants Bella to marry him first. What teenage girl would agree to marriage these days? Not many. It is like a school girl fantasy. The never ending love story, with all the things girls are supposed to want, but created far too over the top to be at all enjoyable.

Hi there Sarah Rebecca, interesting write-up. There’s a lot of anger and indignation in here.

You know what, there’s just one last thing you need to do.

Write your own novel.

If you don’t get any harsh criticisms (like the one you just wrote), then I’ll be convinced you’re a better writer than Twilight’s author.

Have fun.

P.S: And oh, as you write this, the Twilight author is earning money left and right…while in contrast, this article is making quite a few cents (with thousands of page views of course).

Heheh! At this rate I will HAVE to read the damn thing, just to see what all this fuss and hype is about and if it is really the great crime against humanity that so many people say it is. Fortunately I have better things to do – and read!

That said though – from what you say, this seems like a continuation of the classic fantasy idea of perfection – ‘I’m perfect, I want to meet someone beautiful beyond everything’ – which dates back as far as you care to look and maybe should be accepted as a part of humanity’s dreams. Like the superhero genre (until Allan Moore took it and made it interesting by giving the characters flaws) or the James Bond arena (until it wisely realised not to take itself too seriously), only transposed to the female side. We accept the silkily perfect Bond and the boneheaded superheroes fixing the world with their fists with a certain wry acknowledgement of their silliness and appreciation of the spot that they do touch on in our souls. So why should this Twilight be any different? Why should this fantasy world of young girls suddenly become a feminist issue? It is somewhat dumb to dream wistfully of being as suave and all-purpose as a Bond or as powerful and free as a caped crusader. And of course it is also dumb to expect nice Edwards to turn up and look after you, just as it is dumb to expect anyone to BE this grand glamorous Edward or whatever he is. And it strikes me as somewhat uninteresting (my worst criticism for it) to set a story within that sort of an interaction so unquestioningly. But it’s all a part of fantasy life in a way, which has always been at odds with reality. And always will be. Even back to the old days when the girls would dream of their handsome princes and the boys would muse happily about the graceful woodman’s daughters etc. And Twilight and all the rest are only going to be symptoms of that rather than causes. If people are so lost in their fantasies as to let Twilight rule their lives and lose touch with reality – if they cant tell the difference between this fantasy and the reality around them or if they can no longer accept the reality because of it – then they are probably lost anyway and doomed to unhappiness even without Twilight to help them along the road!

That said – it really doesn’t sound the most interesting book ever written! You want vampires, you want to look in stranger territories! Try Lucius Shepard’s ‘The Golden’ for a really unusual and interesting vampire novel.

lmfao. This is brilliant. Thank you.

you need to get a life! dont you have anything better to do besides make fun of twilight? i love the books and im planning on watching the movie this summer! i am defending steffany meyer because shes a great writer how would you like it if you worked really hard on something and then people took some time and hated on it like this its just wrong i wish you would just let it go and move on with your lives why dont you go pick on Harry Potter for crying out loud its pretty much the same as twilight

Author, you’re an idiot. I will agree that Twilight is severely over-hyped, and that some things within the writing itself are annoying, and that the movie should NEVER have existed, but a lot also makes sense within the context of the books. If you’re going to say you have “95″ reasons that the books are bad, please actually have 95 reasons. This list was a bigger waste of time than the books.

P.S. I’m a male Twilight fan who is capable of spelling and punctuating my sentences correctly. Gasp.

While I can agree with some of the points made in this list, I must say that it is rather repetitive and unnecessarily long. You criticize Stephanie Meyer’s writing style, but I don’t really see a difference between hers and yours. To be honest, at least she kept my attention for more than 30 seconds.

I must agree with Jetsu1337 that you should actually have 95 “reasons Twilight is bad” if you’re going to post that statement.

Also, please remember that this story was written for the entertainment of mid-to-late teens. It was never meant to be a great novel of literary genius.

You can reach me at amethyst_jade@live.com

I think twilight is good. Afterall, it is a love story. Lovestories have alot of talking in it. Anyways, the talking is interesting.

Do you mind if I put this on my xanga page it’s to funny to pass up.(I’ll credit you)

People. Y-O-U apostrophe R-E means you are. Y-O-U-R means your, used when talking about possessions.
Aside from that, the whole vampire concept has been stretched so far and so thin, that there are no original ideas about them left. All vampire books are roughly the same. I liked your list, it was silly, and cynical. Bella is a horrible character giving a bad name to strong girls everywhere who pride themselves on grace and independence. Meyer has written a story that basically says “Hey girls, find a man that will make your decisions for you and make all your dreams come true. And if he takes the engine out of your car so you can’t leave him, well, that means he loves you!”
It is the essence of retarded. End of story.

I personally love the fact you, while having some valid points ruined a perfectly good paper by overstating yourself. I got bored by point forty, at least twilight managed to keep my intrest till the end of book one. I have not, however, been able to read book two, instead have moved onto the House of Night series, which gives a far more interesting look at teenage vampires… with much more realistic scenes for teens of THIS era. I suggest it to all those who decided to flame twilight. It would be an interesting book, if the characters had been handled differently.

Get over it. Its fun as hell to read and why does it matter to you what other people enjoy? Instead of sitting and thinking of 95 reasons why you hate a book of sub-par literature, read one of your Pulitzer’s prize winners, snob. You should get started on your 95 reasons why you hate the Jonas Brothers, people are probably enjoying them way too much for your liking.

Really, you’re saying that Twilight fans are dumb and obsessive and teenage girls, or that’s what I gathered. I know that they are obsessive, but you seem obsessed with it too, or obsessed with hating it. I personally know some people who love Twilight, and many of them are smart. Dissing someone’s intelligence for liking a book that gives them an escape into another world is a bit harsh. As for it being a teenage girl’s book, I know adults who love the book and I know straight guys who love the books. I love reading the Twilight books. If you don’t like them then don’t read them. Don’t dis people because they like the books because I’m sure that there are books you are obsessed with because you can relate to them or because they take you to another world. If you don’t get what I’m saying then you’re not as smart as you think you are.

haha i totally agree with you and LOL’D the whole time i wuz reading. number 65 wuz my favorite.

Ok…..Right now I hate StumbleUpon…..Because they only have an “I Like It” button….not an “I LOVE it” button.
This list was awesome.

not read it and have no plans to. anything that Wal-Mart gets a display with t-shirts, book bags, posters etc is crap. It is drivil like harliquin romance novels but worse. Little girls with no brains enjoy it.

yes,everybody likes edward but he is a vampire?♥

I liked the Twilight Series. It may have been childish but it is written for teens and you. You can’t seem to get over the fact that Bella is so perfect but it sounds more like you are jealous of Bella and maybe the fact that she’s not alone. Have you ever fallen in love? Not just puppy love but true love? Maybe that’s why you are so bitter toward the story.

If you think it is so terrible, why don’t you write a book and see how far you can go with it? Let the readers decide if you are right or wrong. That would be the best way to take out your frustrations about the Twilight Series.

Like you said everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I think some of your reasonings have some ground but they are few and very far between. Especially with you repeating a lot of them. So technically you don’t have 90 (whatever) reasons you actually have fewer. I don’t think it is right that you use a dead persons name to knock what you don’t like. You don’t know if they would have liked it or not. You are not them and you don’t have their mind. So next time keep the references of other people who could not have possibly told their opinions out of it.

that is the most important one.

Lovely Story. Unique angle. Surprising structure. Very well-written and marks way up there in creativity.

Okay, first off… you say Twilight readers are stupid and mindless. Well? Look at you!? Who has time to write 95 resons on why to hate a much loved book. I mean it isn’t our faults you are to blinded and stupid to not understand the true point of the book and enjoy it as much is everyone else. Plus, these aren’t really even 95 reasons, they say the same thing over and over! Bella isn’t a stupid person without a brain. She ws actually very smart, and she did love Edward, very much. Yes, reason 15 is stupid parents don’t always hover, they have trust. Charlie is very protective of Bella if you actually read the book you will come to learn that. Jacob was very nice, but Bella can’t help she doesn’t love him the way she loves Edward. Plus, Jacob is completely in love with Rennesme, which in my opinion is a creative and beauitful name. The book isn’t even about sex, what person would say it’s not even a rea book because it doesn’t have enought real sex? So, just get over yourself. The books are anazing, you are self centered and heartless. I’ll pray for you and keep your opinions to yourself, cause they are bad ones.

hahahahahaha i read all four books over my thanksgiving break. Basically four books in four days. I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter and that is REAL fantasy writing. This list was so true and hilarious! Fantastic.

Honestly- it’s just a book. Personally, I didn’t think it was that great, but I’ve read much worse. I just read the series from all the hype, said, ‘Hmm. This is ok,” and then didn’t touch them again. I’m neither obsessively addicted to them, nor obsessively hateful either. It’s a story- I think both groups- the ones who hate them and the ones who love them- just need to move on and get over it.

I read the entire series just because once I start something, I have to see how it ends. It was an extremely guilty pleasure. Everything I hated about the books is on this list. Kudos times a million.

I think your all idiots for even talking about the book in the first place…if you think its so bad, just leave it alone and let all the little crazy girls go emo and slash themselves when they realize that edward will never come…that way u dont have to deal with all the girls in the first place

Amen to you and those who helped you write this. I will say that I have not wasted my time reading this book and I will tell you why… I have a sister who just turned 18 and she was all over these books. Now she is a cool high school drop out that is too cool too read. Anything a teenage girl is going to fall over heels for is not going to be a good book. I would rather spent my time reading something intelligent and yes not something where someone gets knocked up because of a vampire. Vampires are dead… they do not make sperm anymore. dead = no sperm = impossible to get someone pregnant . WOW the math is outrageous! I have to agree that Anne Rice wrote great vampire books.
GIRLS READ SOMETHING THAT WILL EXPAND YOUR MIND AND NOT TAKE US BACK TO 1950. You don’t need a man to protect you or make your life easier.

95 reasons. Overboard. Two sentences is just fine. It was a plotless book, full of impossibilities, about 2 (semi) perfect lovers. If that’s what you want to read, be my guest (It is a good waste of time if you have nothing better to do, like in the Dr. office.

P.S. I’m not anti-twilight, read what you want, all I’m saying is that if you want to live a book (Figure of speech, Duh) this is not the one I would spend my time on. Like I said, it is a great waste of time, but, nothing to marvel at. If you want to truly read a book, try Jeffrey Archer, John Grisham, David Baldacci, when you finish one of their books, you can laugh at the genius of the plot, every word implying something else.

@vanessa
If Vampires are dead and don’t make sperm anymore, they should have cuts in every part of their body. As you said, they are dead, so they obviously can’t produce new skin cells. So what is the huge myth that vampires (Together with practically every other undead type creature) heal nearly instantaneously. As you said, impossible.

Another question on this outrageous math.

Vampires are undead creatures, through the same logic that you said, they’re dead, so they don’t produce sperm, you can say “Well, they’re dead so they shouldn’t be walking around, or moaning, or biting people.” Obviously, they’re undead (emphasis on un) they are neither dead, nor alive. Plus, they’re mythical creatures, MYTHICAL CREATURES! You don’t apply rules to mythical creatures.

P.P.S. I try to punctuate correctly, sorry for the unclosed parentheses in the previous post.

Speaking of “esteemed” authors, Steven King COMPLETELY disses Meyer and pretty much says that Rowling is like 10,000 times better.

I just love it when people rant and rant about grammatical errors whilst making their own. It’s always cringetastic! Most of your reasons were redundant and irrelevant- but, kudos on the Light Yagami & Potter references, it ALMOST make you likeable. And the fact that you say “we” within your list makes it a bigger disaster- apparently multiple heads aren’t always better than one.

LMFAO to the “Light Yagami doesn’t approve of Twilight so neither should you.”.

Twilight is useless, as are rants.

I have to laugh. I’d never even heard of this book series until last night when my daughter called me to tell me to read them as they were the worst thing she’d ever read and were being compared to good literature. She was both appalled and frightened for what it portends for young readers. I STILL haven’t read them but was clicking the stumble button and found this and thought it has to be the same one she was telling me about. Someone direct children to the My Book House set of books for such glorious reading starts.

personally i have not read the books nor do i care to, but i’ts my opinion that for someone so intent on not liking the book you sure to give it a lot of attention. secondly, get over yourself. obviously for all your bashing on the author’s creativity you don’t have a lot of your own, you repeated yourself several times, taking the same concept and rewording it.

no, id didn’t think it was worth my time, but if you kept reading it you must of thought it was worth yours. you know what they say -
those without talent become critics.

cheers to tyler

Are you sure you read the Saga? Because most of your reasons aren’t true. Meyers DOES mention fangs. Bella never listens to Edward especially about Jacob. In fact she stands her ground so much that Edward changes his opinion and lets her see Jacob. Twilight is a fictional book and if you ever took a literature class, when writing a fictional book, you have to think about your audience and what they want to read. Which Meyer does exactly right. Also whose to say that vampires have fangs and have to have flaws… they don’t exist!!!! At first your list was full of reasons and then it just turned into a list of your nonsense. Also, did you forget that teenagers DO fall in love that quickly and that exactly what Bella and Edward are. Teenagers grasp to the thought that “they never felt this way about someone” and automatically assume its love. So that is very typical of them to feel the way they do. People like twilight! Get over it. Stephanie Meyers got all the fame she deserved for these books. As for your other reasons I don’t have time to waste correcting you on everything you have no idea about. Oh, and I know plenty of straight guys who like twilight. Maybe because I like it. Sorry if you will never experience that.

This list was awesome!

I would add one extra thing (and sorry if anyone mentioned it): The best marketing quote they could find from the book was “I dream of being with you forever.” Really? That’s the BEST LINE in the whole book?

Be comforted by the fact that there is a small sect of twilight fangirls who do recognize that it is horrendous writing and not in any way literature. I simply do not always want to read “literature.” Don’t write us all off so easily; some of us are intelligent. Twilight is to reading as toast is to making breakfast. Of course there are better things out there, but you don’t always want to expel the effort, and it fulfills its purpose.

Y’know… I’d be almost disappointed if this post had perfect grammar. It’s a blog post. A brain drain. It’s just kinda there. Doubtful that it was about getting attention.

For years I was a professional editor and there’s a time and place to exercise my talents. Right now? Not one of them. Blog post? Nah. A SET OF NOVELS? Hell yes.

The comments have made my evening. People have actually been suggesting you see a THERAPIST or that you had recently been broken up with and that’s why you’re so bitter? Oh man I love the internet.

oh and lol at comment #302. Way to prove the lists point.

Oh man. You’re my hero!

You make me so happy it’s rediculous!

Honestly am I the onlyy girl offended by the weak disgusting portrayal of Bella. Gross. Really.

The world population will come to an end because all girls who read this book will think they are Bella and will wait for their Edward to come until they are old. And he’ll never come.

… I’m a girl
… I read the book
… I hated it.

So, thanks for saying that.

This book was deplorable and the series went down hill from there. Conflict creates interest and Meyer left it out completely, I am an English teacher and in my opinion the entire series is worth less than an old paperback sleaze novel.

So the books and the movie weren’t that great but these reasons kind of sucked too, esp. because they kept repeating over and over how much Bella sucks, I got the point after reading the first 3 reasons. Nevertheless, the whole vampires sparkle comment was a good one.

Just to put this obvious and well-known fact out there: your NOT EQUAL to you’re.

So, from my own observations, it’s rather amusing to see people be haughty about grammatical correctness. OOH are you judging me too? Because obviously, there is an inverse relationship between my grammatical prowess and the quality and content of my thought processes.

Also, it is rather amusing to peruse this and read such vehement responses! Take into account that really, of all the pertinent issues in the world to take a passionate stance about, this is one of the most trivial out there.

But rock on everyone, rock on- do whatever you have to to validate your existence.

I liked the book, but only because I have a vagina and I’m a hopeless romantic.

I giggled the whole way through your list.
Cheers!

wow! geez if you hate twilight so much, why do you care so much to spend your time writting a list about it.. plus everybody has a different view of how they see vampires.. second vampires and werewolfs have a history its not just a facebook ap! third which if you actually read the books bella didnt try to kill herself, idk where you got that one from… There are better books out there… and there is a actually plot.. maybe you dont see it cause your to close minded… and if you think harry potter is better for little kids to read…ya lets have our kids think they can fly on a broom stick or that they have powers. and go and fight evil snakes and gaint spiders. with moving stair cases… the movies are kool but the books are boring… people have different interest so why bash on a book you didnt take the time to enjoy… for all those who said i just read the book to see what idiot dies first or if bella gets over edward.. i think your just making an excuse to cover up that you exactly did enjoy the books and you couldnt put them down cuz if you hate them so much why would you spend days read like 7 hundred page books..??? i dont see it after the first book wouldnt you think if you didnt like it you wouldnt go rent or buy the second and the third and fourth…??? i think your just trying to fit in and say you dont like twilight cuz your too embarsed to admit it.. 95 reason not to like twilight? i’d say alot of these reason dont make sense and that most of them are stupid and repeated… and if you know anything about writting books. a lot of books are based off the author’s life and what they wish they can be or a situtation they have been in so back off her… most others write about their fantasies…

The list is quite hilarious, I presume a lot of it is in jest but the tone is quite venomous so I guess you really don’t like Twilight…you’recertainly getting a lot of recation anyway, so well done for that.
I have to say, I read all of the books recently and while they are not particularly well written, and books 2 and 3 should really be combined because it’s the same story stretched out to a ridiculous length, I have to say Catherine Hardwicke did a fantastic job with the film adaptation, which I found much more enjoyable than the books. Check it out at http://www.cinemaroll.com/Horror/Twilight-Strangely-Captivating.462577
Here’s to the Internet, were EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion

This list makes me want to make sweet sexy non-Mormon vampire love to you. Twilight is just as bad as those bodice rippers you can buy at the dollar store.

I agree with ha to a point, but Robert Pattinson is a messed up Edward, and all you f**kin preps reading it has pissed me of!!!

Hmm. I was wondering if you would mind if I linked to this on my blog, for pure amusement. It is an excellent list and I would love to share it with people I know.

Hope you write more like this.

Personally I haven’t read Twilight (except the last Chapter of the last book, just to ruin it for an obsessed friend =)) and due to all the hype I probably won’t. I have too many Twilight obsessed friends. I went and saw the movie due to them and got slandered for not having any idea what it was about; down to not knowing they were vampires.

Stephen King makes a very good point.

are you serious? i mean really, just because a book is not feministic enough or whatever, does not mean it is not incredibly romantic. also, have you ever thought that some girls dont mind that bella is “useless” its a nice thought that someguy so comeletly perfect would come and wisk you away?? and u said that edward doesnt have flaws, then you said that he is overly protective and whatever. anyway, if u dont like the book that is fine, but dont make ppl think its so stupid and un pc. ur annoying.

Why are you wasting your time with this?
I read Twilight over two years ago and it was good. Not the best thing I’ve ever read, but it was enjoyable.
I don’t understand why you’re spending time dwelling on this and building up so much hate for a BOOK. or book series.
Really, you’re telling people that read Twilight and are in love with it to get a life. Why? Because they love Twilight? Well isn’t hate just as strong as an emotion?
Isn’t it about time you got a life, too?
I realize we’re all have our opinions and can say what we want, but most of your ‘reasons you shouldn’t read Twilight’ are repeated and dull, like you’re just coming up with things to fill in to make the list long.

#95 isnt exactly a reason…i like twilight, its interesting.
but errr who would bother to write 94 reason you hate twilight?

Hi, Sarah, how are you?
I see that you at least took the time to actually read the books before commenting on them! That’s good! I wrote an article on Twilight as well, and it’s important to at least have a head’s up on the facts before posting an opinion.

I’m a guy! I’ve read the first three books of the Twilight series. I almost chose not to read the second and the third volumes because of my opinion on the first. However, I had a younger female friend who was vehement that I read the series because of how much she loved it. That’s why I decided to give Meyer a shot. Plus, I love werewolves, so I was anxious to see what happened with Jacob.

No offense, but, I think it’s fair to say that most of your list was written in bias. While I can understand your frustration, ((I didn’t like the first book all that well either)) using the list to vent was certainly not a good idea. That is why you have received such negative comments—because of your negativity. You reap what you sow!

Before you get upset again because of my comment, just realize one thing: I agree that Twilight could have been 10 times better. I also agree that the characters are pretty extreme and that the story could have developed more appropriately given different circumstances.

The book was successful though, even with its apparent flaws. No matter how many people join this bandwagon, nothing can be done about the past. It was successful for as many reasons as it has flaws, so, who are we to judge?

One question: Did Stephen King really say that, or did you just make it up? Cite your information so that we can all get the truth from it, otherwise we’ll be spreading false information. Do you really want to be the one who started a rumour? Cite your quotes from famous people, so that we have an idea that you’re being honest.

There are so many other discussions that could be had with regards to this set of books, but none of them deserve the condemnatory remarks that have been posted. As far as civility goes, most of the people who posted here have a lot to learn.

Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day.

Oh, and, to explain something about book series: First-time authors rarely get a say in what a series of books could be entitled. It is mostly the well-known authors who produce series-starters that have a series title. Meyer’s publisher was most likely curious to see if the book would turn a profit first before considering signing her on for another in the same realm. Twilight came out as an exploratory novel. Because it did well in sales, her publisher most likely decided for her that the series would be called the Twilight series—which most generally happens with first-time authors and their novels: The series is named by its first book’s title. I hope that explains it. Because of the popularity of these books, one can ask for the title of the book itself and still get what one is looking for.

you’re all kinda a bunch of whiners in my opinion. we get that you don’t like the book…but i feel like this whole statement to show that you don’t like the book is really just a cover up. think about it…why would someone who hates the book so much spend so much time talking about it?? if you really hated it, i would think that you wouldn’t want to waste any of your time even thinking about it. stop complaining and go find something better to do with your life.

xD I love twilight but i agree with this one. # A hundred years difference = pedophile.

Its a lame, slow and totally unbelievable story.

I have never heard of Twilight(very sheltered life)but you certainly got your point across very well. I don’t think I will even be interested in checking it out after this review! Thank you for stopping me from wasting my time. I don’t have any to waste for sure.

Twilight is horrible… what’s even worse is the fact that GROWN WOMEN read these stupid books and fall in love with Mr. Perfect uumm… i mean Edward.

Look Twilight groupies, if you want to read a book where the character is perfect try reading the Bible…

I hate Twilight, their fans and the so-called author.

P.S. The movie sucked too… all I could do is stare at the HUGE Chiclettes Bella had in her mouth. (for all you slow people, her huge buck teeth! I guess we know what Bella wanted for X-mas!!)

I am an English major and do have respect for a lot of good literature. However, I still enjoyed reading Twilight because it was simply entertaining. You’re right though about the obsessive fan girls; they’re way over the top.

You spelled acquired wrong. Along with many other words. Also, even a person who hates the series understands that your points make no sense and your logic is horribly flawed. There would be no point in marking you on how wrong you were with about 90% of these because you’re clearly an annoying 13 year old who cannot spell or comprehend literature. Oh yes, and because most of these are not real points, just you saying things like “stupid”, nobody will have any real respect for this. If they do, they’re clearly annoying 13 year olds as well. Please do some research, or at least know some common knowledge about the world in general, before you decide to write a post like this.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention one other thing. Stephenie Meyer is making more money than you, pwn.

This is brilliant. I’ll admit I haven’t read the entire series but I agree with every single point, especially those about the unhealthiness of Bella and Edward’s relationship and the fact that the author is writing her own wish fulfillment.

hello…
yes i agree with you and im 13…
Twilight isn’t very interesting and i’ve been trying my best to tell people my age that twilight is quite horrible and im not just reffering to the 1st book, i mean the entire series is horrid…
the movie was a bit good to me, but i didn’t want to even watch it. my friend dragged me there. Twilight is a ridiculous book…

When I first read Twilight, I thought it was everything, I read it practically everyday, and begged my dad to get me the last two books. But, now I realize Stephanie Meyer’s writing is mediocre. The books don’t “suck”, but I’d say she’s not the greatest writer. And also, you know how all you guys getting mad, because twilight fans are mad at you, GET OVER IT!!! Their crazy thinking they have “powers”, but you will never change their mind, until they realize that there are ACTUALLY better books out there.

Hmmm, Im not sure if Light Yagami is a good judge…he had a relationship with Misa….

Amen to that : )

I also wrote an article about Twilight and the various sites available where you are free to express you’re rage.

Great article!

You are my hero! EVERY girl, here in México, is reading that piece of crap…¬¬ This kind of books only makes girls more stupid. ¬¬

TO KEVIN: Post 335

I enjoyed the Twilight series, and yes I have read Kurt Vonnegut. In fact, I did a book report on “Slaughter House 5″ when I was in grade 6. Just because someone enjoys a mindless read once in a while doesn’t mean that they are idiots.

This list is made for people who have read that book, not for someone who has yet to read it…You should probably change the title of your list, it’s misleading. I stopped reading Goosebumps in elementary school, and would never entertain the possibility of picking this Walmart best seller up off a shelf. You should constructively direct your argument towards the people who are on the fence as to whether they should read it or not.

FACT: there are books written about the philosophy of other cult classics such as harry potter, lord of the rings, etc

FACT: this coul not be done with twilight. why? because, espite protestations that the twilight series is “deep”, it goes no deeper than Edward’s sparkling skin.

p.s. dear Piper, it is in fact possible to be original in some aspects and unoriginal in others. Also, i do not think redefining the terms of vampirism counts as original, because the vampire has been a staple in folklore for many thousands of years, and i believe the author of this list, when referring to “more esteemed authors” probably intended to include the oral “authors” of thousands of years of cultural lore. but, i mean, if ms meyers decided that you no longer had to die to be a zombie, i guess that’d be okay with everyone. i mean, as long as the zombies were hot, right?

MAN, I’ve been thinking this for months! Had I known that such a list would become so popular, I would’ve written it myself. I might still add a few points of my own. XD

Anyway, I agree. TrueBlood is a lot better, largely because THOSE vampires aren’t somehow immuned to sunlight.

Okay, I accept that you don’t like Twilight. This would be okay, as you have a right to your own opinion, if you’d read it. But not spelling Renesmee’s name right, not even once? This makes me doubt the truth behind your statements of how you read the entire saga, and therefore you discredit yourself by not being fully educated on that which you attempt to criticize. Aside from that, you contradict yourself repeatedly…ie., #21 and 39. #49…I’m extremely OCD about grammatical errors (of which you have many in your list), and I didn’t find a single one in any of the four books. #53…anyone who doesn’t live in a cave knows that it’s about vampires, whether they’ve read it or not. So, duh…why shouldn’t she put a great quote on the back, when it’s not revealing anything new anyway?? #52…do any guys actually like ANY romance novels, which is essentially what Twilight is?? #74…of course it doesn’t live up to its hype. Neither did Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings! That doesn’t make them entirely bad, it just means that people over-exaggerate their appeal. #84…no, Jacob didn’t abuse Bella, but neither did Edward. So why shouldn’t she be able to pick whoever she wants?

I respect that you have an opinion about the books, but at the very least, you could express it in a way that doesn’t make you look foolish.

The whole book series is like crack for lonely, over-analyzing, bored women… and men who want to believe there’s some ultimate, magical secret to us/or are trying to get into a fangirls pants.

It’s awful, really.
Then again, I’m rather judgmental when it comes to this myself. Three of my friends (one girl and two guys) relate themselves to a certain threesome in the book, constantly. I’m allowed to hate it. I never hear the end of it. They don’t even know who Anne Rice is. WHY!?!! WHY!!!!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

ha ha ha! I don’t recommend Twilight either. It’s too shallow.

I’ve read Twilight. I agree on the part that Harry Potter is better.

I think that woman need to have something to think about, someone to dream about. Men so often let us down.
Woman like to think there is at least one man out there who is worthy of a woman. Well that woman is not bella, she is a snobby little brat.
As far as the People being so obsessive of the book, i think it’s stupid. But then again people are sheep, most people believe what they are told to.

A lot of those were pretty funny!

A lot of these reasons are nebulous and could be combined to, say, 25. Or 10, really.

I hate the fact that they fell in love so quickly. its ridiculous,it annoys the hell out of me…

Do you have ANY idea how many people asked me to explain why i hate twilight..?
God i will have so many links of this to send now!
I LOVE YOU ALL.

Yes, people are allowed to have their own opinion, they just need to make sure their opinion isn’t worthless. I’m sorry to say, in your case, it is.
You repeated yourself constantly then criticized Meyer for “dragging on?” This list can be condensed into 5 semi-valid reasons.
You contradicted yourself by saying that Edward is flawless in your 11th “reason” then calling him extremely possessive, abusive, and boring in number 19.
You say that she broke rules set out by other authors – darling, since when are there RULES in writing fiction? Especially VAMPIRE fiction. Just because somebody else wrote about vampires before doesn’t make their theories “rules” And Meyer obviously did her research then decided to challenge the archetypal image of a vampire. This doesn’t make her a lousy writer; it makes her a great one.
Mentioning her not-so-perfect grammar would have been a good reason had you not made plenty mistakes of your own.
The fact that Meyer depicted Bella’s character in a way that every reader could fit themselves into her shoes does not make Meyer inadequate; but very skilled. Is she not making millions now? You’re either jealous of Meyer or just dense – I’m going with the latter.
You said it yourself, people are allowed to have their own opinions, but they don’t have to go around passing judgment on opinions that don’t match their own.
It seems as if most of your reasons are about you hating Twilight because everyone else loves it: Get over yourself. The world does not revolve around you and being negative doesn’t make you “unique” it just makes you stupid.

I think the whole series is horrible. I guess it’s aimed for teenage girls, but being 17 myself, I can hardly call this a literary work of art. Vampires are such an unoriginal idea, and Twilight seems to be jumping on the bandwagon. It makes me sad that people think that Twilight is “good litterature” but I think we should just be happy that people are getting off their lazy arses and reading!

Okay, you were a teenager once right? well id hope so.

Charisle didn’t just turn all teenagers into vampires…he also turned Esme into one. also if you read the book a lot of the vampire’s are young when they are turned into vampires.

Just because Twiliht is not a ‘typica;’ vampire book you shouldn’t just write it off. I liked the book because it was different in that regard..

You just refuse to let people hope to find the man of their dreams… Even in if it was a guy named edward. Sometimes you just love people regardless of who they are..

you dont sound like a very happy person…and hate is a bad word. her plot wasn’t the greatest (lets face it) but people found the story mystical and it gave them hope… and some people are crazy ( i mean people reacted the same way to harry potter…) so you have nothing there…

i….i love you.

i think this is halarious! but i still like twilight. I agree with #8 by julie, there are a bunch of books that suck more than twilight and its unfair for people to tell little girls (twilights’ intended audience) that it sucks.

4. And when he leaves she attempts to commit suicide.
She doesn’t attempt to commit suicide. In fact, she says on several occasions that she’s going to keep her promise to him that she wouldn’t even if he doesn’t keep his promise to stay.

5. Meyer is living out her own fantasies by writing about Bella, who is clearly herself.
This makes it a bad book because . . . many authors have written themselves into the characters in their books. Or artists in their works of art.

7. All the rules Meyer sets for being a vampire are broken by the end of the series.
Which ones?

8. Not only that, she breaks rules set by more esteemed authors.
This is her own work, she’s not copying other vampire stories. Her vampire lore is different. Again, this makes it a bad book how . . .

11. Edward is too perfect and has no flaws either. Even vampires should have flaws besides wanting to suck human blood because it’s natural to them.
Edward does have flaws. The book is written from Bella’s perspective, and she thinks he’s perfect, so obviously from her point of view, he doesn’t have any. He does not see himself that way, nor do many of the readers. For one, if I were Bella, I would hate that Edward was constantly thinking I was too fragile to do anything for myself. Oh and wait, Bella does get frustrated with this about him in each book of the series. So one example of a flaw there.

13. If Bella is so ‘plain’, why do so many guys fall for her within the first two chapters?
Bella isn’t plain. She only sees herself that way. The books are from her perspective mostly, and there isn’t anyone in the world who truly thinks of themselves completely beautiful and without flaws. Edward is constantly telling her “you don’t see yourself clearly” when she comments on her plainness.

15. Isn’t it convenient that her father always leaves her alone and doesn’t question her? Real parents aren’t that way.
There are MANY parents that are this way. Ever heard of neglect?

21. This book contains no real sex, so it’s not really a vampire novel.
Since when do vampires and sex have to be constantly intertwined? In fact, as a fan of occult and vampire fiction, I find it ridiculous that the mainstream view of vampires comes down to cleavage, leather, and whips. Dominatrix and Vampires are not synonymous. Also, Stephanie Meyer is religious, and these are teenage fiction novels. From her perspective, keeping the sex out of it is good for her age group of readers.

25. She never uses the word fangs in the entire book series, and it’s supposedly about vampire.
Again, this is a different view of vampires. It’s her lore, not that of Anne Rice. These vampires don’t NEED fangs. Their teeth are sharp enough without them. We’re not talking double toothed puncture wounds here via Buffy.

31. Meyer can’t think of original names. The only original name she used was Rennesme, which is combination of two names and doesn’t count.
The names she uses for the characters are appropriate because of each character’s time-line. Edward was a popular name for his time. The same for the other vampire characters. Even those characters that are human have names that go along with their time. Bella’s friend, Jessica, is mentioned to have the same name as three others from her old school. It’s done to show the contrast, to explain that it is a common name for their age group. Meyer goes over all this in the novel.

43. Stephen King agrees that Stephanie Meyer can’t write ‘worth a darn’.
I’ve honestly never liked Stephen King. Umm the “Langoliers” anyone?Laughable.

70. There’s nothing worse than a fan girl going insane over a fictional guy. It’s rather pathetic actually, so, um, yeah, get a life and keep reading those books, chickies.
I really don’t see the difference in girls appreciating a character in a book much like others have done. For one example, there’s Romeo. He’s been idolized a lot longer. It’s tween fandom. He’s the new tiger beat guy. What teenage girl hasn’t idolized some character in a book, tv show, or movie? Guys idolize the girls in playboy or sports illustrated, or maxim. Idolization has many forms.

I think you should have your opinions. Hate Twilight all you want. I just thought a few, non-aggressive opinions from a Twilight fan might be a breath of fresh air.

I’m not a big harry potter fan so the few reasons you listed that involved HP I sorta threw out but all the ones commenting on Bella’s backward mindless female personality hit home. The books were something to read but I wouldn’t give them much fanfare. I saw the movie unfortunately which in all its stupidity made Bella out to be some sort of feminist which pissed me the hell off. Stephanie Meyers has created a cult..just about any brainless twit can do that.

I cannot say, honestly, that it was a bad movie. I can not speak for the book, but the movie was not bad. I kind of liked the vampire baseball. How many movies or books do you really read or watch where vampires play baseball. They can only play when there is a thunderstorm… This is a small detail but not to bad. The whole “hunt” when the ponytailed vampire is after the girl and Edward “comes to the resuce,” of course it’s a little cheesy, who doesn’t like a little bit of a cheesy story every now and than. You are taking it a little to serious, relax, kick your feet up and breath easy for a little while. It was not that bad. Coming up with 95 reasons to dislike anything let alone a movie is a little overboard.

The funniest thing when I saw the title of this article I was genuine intrigue because I thought it was going to say somrthing about hating the real twilight. I wondered who could hate twilight. Well in Jamaica I could because of the amount of mosquitoes that come out at this time. I love though twilight because it lends a fairy pink to the place and building that are not so beautiful take on a romantic look.I have a builder friend whose used to make fun at some houses saying they could only be sld at twilight.
So your Twilight book seem to be similiar some will hate it for the mosquitoes they find in it and some will love it because of the unrealistic characters and story line. So he what the heck read it if you like to each his own.
http://www.specular-jamaica.com

I can’t lie, I do like the books, but I understand your point. I adored this article. It made me laugh basically from beginning to end. You had very valid points. I guess that makes me a bad Twilight fan. All well, I’m over it. They are possibly some of my favorite books, and I am aware that they are two-dimensional. It’s BECAUSE we can put ourselves in Bella’s shoes that attracts girls to them. I don’t wait around for anyone like Edward, or anything. I think people who want to do something like that are utterly wasting their time because, well, it’s a fictional character, and he does not exist. Also, just because Robert Pattinson plays Edward in the movie, this does not mean he is actually like Edward. You should have put that on your list. I’ve met so many Twilight-obsessed girls that are all, “I’m going to marry Robert and make him act like Edward and we will be in love and he will be romantic!!!!!!!” To which I am forced to reply, “Hmmm…. Keep me posted on how that works out for you.” Sorry, I apologize for rambling. In conclusion, Kudos to this posting. I needed a good laugh.

i. love. you.

Quite frankly I think you are a moron.

Yes the internet is a place to voice your opinion… however, your ‘reasons not to read it’ are merely that… your own opinion… you have not provided any substantial reason for someone not to read this book saga.

It always amuses me when people are bitter about someone else’s success. You say that it’s not as good as Harry Potter, in your opinion.. HOWEVER, regardless of how successful Harry Potter is NOW, are you aware that at least 7 publishing houses turned it down before it was published?…so plenty of people thought it wasn’t even worth publishing.

You’re entitled to your opinion but don’t dress it up as a list of reasons why someone shouldn’t read it. Oh yes and if it was really as bad as you claim it to be then you wouldn’t
have bothered to finish the book let alone the entire saga!…I have put many a book down after the first chapter because it was dreadful… perhaps you should have done the same and then we wouldn’t have been exposed to this lame and ridiculous list of INCORRECT ‘reasons’ not to read it.

Number 11 and number 19 are contradictions no matter what you think of the book. That annoys me.

I actually enjoy the series, but this was incredible. You’re pretty much spot on with everything. I particularly loved number 66.

go kira!

Nice thoughts. You’ve clearly thought about this carefully.

LMAO, Some are so true, but thats one of the things you have to love about twilight,
Its meyers first and she’s good, she has room to improve and I look forward to reading more of her books.

I thoroughly enjoyed them! But I have never read Vampire Genre and have no interest in them, so for me comparing was irrelevant. The movie was not enjoyable however. But that’s nothing new when books are made into movies, the book is generally better.

you have some good points, i have always prided myself on being able to read just about anything, and what i couldnt i put it up and read another and then went back to it, but i could not get past the first page of the book no matter what i tried, it was just…..idk. The main problem i have is the Ed. obsessed fan girls i have to be around

Although there are quite a few legitimate reasons why some people hate Twilight, I have to admit that I love it. I will acknowledge the fact that it is not written so well, but it doesn’t matter to me. I enjoy it. It makes me happy. I am entirely aware that this book will never win a Pulitzer and the movie will never win an Oscar, but it is not meant to. This book was not written to do so. It was written to give girls (and yes I know a few straight guys who love it, also) an interesting love story to read. Yes, some fan girls take things too far, and that makes the rest of us seem insane, too. But believe me when I tell you that there are indeed a few intelligent, college girls who thoroughly enjoy this saga.

here is one to add to the list, the only reason the books became so popular is because of the movie, I read the first book like two years ago and it just became popular this year…thats sad

LMAO !!!

I’m so glad someone said something about the spider monkey line! That was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. In fact it will probably remain in history forever because of its stupidity. I do have to be honest and say that I did enjoy the books, but I also laughed a lot while reading this.

THANKS

although i don’t like twilight as much as the next guy, i found almost all 95 reasons extremely dumb. how many goddamned times do you need to repeat that the vampires sparkle, bella has no personality, or that you don’t like that edward is “hot” in the book? these “95 reasons” could easily be compacted into 20 actual good reasons. how can you count #95 for instance. one of your 95 reasons for disliking a book being that you wrote 95 reasons for disliking it is contradictory. You critiqued bad writing with more bad writing, splendid

Nice statements made.I totally agree with you.But I dont get why you said fangs were never talked about in the story when it talks about it when Bella talks to Edward about it.

I have to agree with sarah and allison. I read this book for the first time in for a college course, and then had to create a teaching unit based on this book. While it may not be the “best” book in the world, it has it’s possibilities. I enjoy the books because I understand the difference between reality and fantasy. I am not insane because i enjoy light reading. I just have different priories in my reading material. Its good to relax once in awhile, and not have to worry about analyzing what I’m reading.

it was good

All fans need to get a life becuz this book sucks!

Wow, I’m pretty sure about ninety-two of those reasons aren’t real justifiable reasons at all. Twilight isn’t all that great of a book, but this article is a bunch of meaningless, unsubstantiated, tautological crap, if you ask me.

this is hilariousnesses i tottly agree with you.
ur reasons for hating it are justified
BUT i actually have read the twilight saga many times
u porbli fink im wierd now
buh why are you giving other ppl reasons for not reading it, yh its a frikin shyt peice of litriture and you find it so damn annoying but broadfcating tht on the net is just LAME
people dnt read for others
so ppl STOP having a dig at books everyones diffrent and i find this tottly takin the p***

Even though i read all the books i do think that some of your reasons are funny and totally true. I think that to many people are obsessed wit it.

to the guy above me:

lolz man yet so true

i lovee twilight to be truly honest with u. i don’t think anyone should bash the book just b/c they don’t like it. they just have to deal with it and move on with thier figgin lives!!!! i mean come on the posts you had were totally unnessacery!!!!!! people need to deal with the fact that others, like me, love the books and the movie!! people shouldn’t bash the books as i already said.

I liked the books, but I totally agree with you. There’s way too much hype and it doesn’t stack up WHATSOEVER!
Plus, all those stupid people that say it’s better than Harry Potter.. News flash, NOTHING will ever compare to Harry Potter. =]

soo true i hate twilight it so stupid people are obsessed

Yo guys, chill..
This is just a book.. No im not a twilight crazy fan, or an anti-twilight, im a neutral (though i do hate kstew as Bella)but i just think you’re making suc a big deal out of it..

unless, it’s all for the lulz

“9. The world population will come to an end because all girls who read this book will think they are Bella and will wait for their Edward to come until they are old. And he’ll never come.”

So you think the only purpose of females, your own gender, is to have kids? What if we don’t want to have kids?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“This book contains no real sex, so it’s not really a vampire novel.”

And yet you say Bella is the shallow one. Ha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Why is it called the Twilight Series if only one book is titled Twilight?”

That’s what series are called. The clique series, the series of unfortunate events, etc. Common sense.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Stephanie Meyer must really be into pedophilia: first Edward and Bella, now Jacob and Renesseme? SPOILER.”

You don’t say SPOILER after u SPOIL it. That’s just stating the obvious. Either that, or you just don’t understand – we read left to right, top to bottom. And the countless times you’ve said SPOILER like that? (cont. below)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You don’t have to describe the character every two pages, we know all about Edward’s ‘perfectly toned chest’ the fourth time she mentions it.”

Accusing the book of being repetitive? Look who’s talking.

Heres the main reason I hate Twilight: Meyers is a terrible writer but is getting all this publicity and money even though there are way better writers out there who actually deserve it.

Rant much eh?

… i love you.

You are amazing and I couldn’t agree more with all the reasons above. Love #66 the most

please do read my poems .they pretty good.really

Stephanie Meyer is a FIRST TIME WRITER!  comprende?  She woke up from a dream, with NO writing experience what so ever and wrote. Within 3 weeks, twilight was created. Twilight fans like myself LOVE the series because of the great PLOTS AND STORY LINES! The books are brilliant, and if not, why have millions across the world read them ? I could start bashing something you PERSONALLY love ok? please respond so I can start. I will run with my awesome vampire abilities to Volterra, Italy and provoke the Volturi and blame you. Demitri will track you using your brain waves and your senses will be cut of by Alec and you will be tortured by Jane ok? haha. boo sucks to you suckers (:  btw, if you hate the twilight series so much, why waste i don’t know, blog space and DAYS writing a 95 point list. And YOU personally have obviously read the books MORE THAN ONCE to pick up the knowledge to make these accusations. So if you hated them so much the first time, why re-read?  Ok, thats all, I am obviuosly not looking for a arguement but I am argueing my point. (which is right mwahaha)Goodbye. Leah Clearwater.

wow, a lot of responses.
I thought your list was funny.

I personally have read the first book, and I own the second and third — haven’t gotten around to reading those though.
I’m a sixteen year old girl, and I thought it was alright.
it certainly should not be held to very high literature standards, in comparison to real works of art such as dickinson or twain, and I don’t think most people understand that.

for a TEEN hokey pokey novel, it’s alright.
for a book in general, in comparison to all books, it’s about a two on a scale of ten.

it’s simple, everything is laid out for you.
no need to think about metaphors or symbolism or parallelism.
it’s just there.

Wow, I just read comment number #455, and wow. Some people really need to be checked out to a doctor if they honestly believe they have magical vampire abilities, or have vampire friends.

Anyways – I have not read Twilight, only been told about all the ‘amazing plot twists’, and honestly, they aren’t that great. I don’t know why Meyer (being a first time writer as someone pointed out) would go for a romance novel about NOTHING.

I really wish people would just shut up about how great Twilight is. Jeez. I agree with miss Sarag btw.

all of these reasons are the same ones i’ve been telling my edward obsessed classmates. if you think about this logically, the books make absolutley no sense and im tired of the twilight craze.

ugh.

another reason why i hate the books:

in breaking dawn, jacob imprinted on renesmee. she is a half-VAMPIRE, half-HUMAN. to me, it makes no sense on how jacob could imprint on the Human side of her, when she has 2 sides. werewolves and vampires are common enemies, no sense and frankly, twilight can kick rocks.

my new books- The Mortal Instruments trilogy-By Cassandra Clare. actual good writing and its not deficient like twilight.

wow u really hate the books i never watched the show movie watever nor read the books. they dont really intrest me

ummm i do have to agree with like maybe 2 reasons but this “95 reasons” suck big gorills ones!!! most of your reasons repeat themselves over and over and over… and you siad the book was predictable….pshh please

Uhh ive never read Twilight, but I hate it because it justannoys me
And to everyone who is attacking this page, why? 2 Questions
1. She only wrote this to voice her opinion, so if someone hated your opinion, how would feel?
2. Why are you even SEARCHING I hate twilight XD Just and ideaa.

Although I myself thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight saga, I find your list extremely amusing and will not proceed to make childish threats because you insulted something I like. As you said in your list, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It would be ridiculous to think by threatening or insulting someone in return that it’s going to make any difference to anyone’s opinion (well only their opinion of yourself, because afterwards, everyone’s going to think you’re just some Twilight-obsessed teenie without an actual life or properly functioning mind.)

i like reading the book and adore the characters but the 95 reasons is just hilarious XD fans shouldn’t take this seriously since taste in book is a matter of opinion XD lolz. good work, mate.

I keep wanting to clobber the Twilight fangirls with my leatherbound copy of Stoker’s /Dracula/, shouting “THIS IS HOW YOU DO VAMIPRES!” Then I want to shove a copy of Charlaine Harris’ /Dead Until Dark/ into their hands – THAT’S how you do vamps and weres in the same book!

Crazy fen make me all stabbity…

SMeyer SAYS her Mormonism has nothing to do with the books – but her protagonist is a completely subservient female who has met her “fated” soulmate. Sounds Mormon to me.

THis book was so stupid.
The second you say “Twilight sucks” you have a angry mob of Edwars loving freaks at your feet saying “DONT MAKE ME SEND THE VOTURI ON YOU!”, who the hell is the volturi???

Okay, so I’m not some die hard Twilight fan. But, I do love the books. I think that Meyer did a great job. Besides, no matter what you say, Meyer is still getting rich and still has fans. Half of your “points” dont even makes sense. Half of them contradict eachother. And I spell very well and use correct grammar. And whats with the sex thing? You must be one of those mindless morons that thinks that sex makes everything better. That’s why movies always have so many sex scenes, because of idiots like you. This is why there are so many pregnant girls, people think that sex is just a parkt of life. The book didn’t have sex in it, DEAL WITH IT. And Edward and Bella do eventually have sex, Meyer just doesnt elaborate on it.

I LOVED Twilight. But reading through this was semi entertaining. You did however, use the same points multiple times and some were quite ludicrous.
These things basically appear on the internet for any series that becomes a movie. I believe there was a few about Harry Potter somewhere. I’m sure these lists will dwindle shortly, just like the HP ones did. Also, trying to say that the world is going to end for those waiting for their Edward, the same thing happens for girls with their prince charming. Yet, they will grow up and move on.
For those people that love Twilight and are upset about this, move on. As goes for those who hate Twilight. Like someone said before, it’s the internet. If you don’t like the oppinions expressed, close it.

Haha. I loved this! It was hilarious. I actually like the series [ dont ask me why. ]amd i agree with all of this. ALL OF IT. Especially 84. So true. And the one about Harry Potter being much better. I have countless discussions a day about that with crazy Twilighters.

what happened to your imagination?

stephenie meyer is an amazing writer and storyteller, so just get over it. jealous much?

I love how all these people are getting mad at you for voicing your opinion. Honestly Dracula could kick edwards butt any day should also be on there. And people chill dont tell this person they need to grow up, when your the ones getting mad and yelling at them for having an opinion.

Also if i had the time i would do the same thing, they just didn’t like the book and they gave 95 reasons why, there’s those people who love it why dont you come up with 95 reasons why you love it instead of hatting on this person

kthanksbye

I actually enjoyed reading the book, but after a few times I agree with a lot of the items there. And I HATE how now it’s this huge media frenzy and girls are all obsessed over Edward Cullen. GET OVER IT LADIES, the man you fall for with not be a vampire and he will NOT be “perfect”. Everyone has flaws, and I feel bad for the man the obsessed twilight fans fall for because they’re gonna have a huge standard to meet. Oh, and Bella is an annoying, selfish brat who doesn’t even enjoy the fact that she has a sexy vampire and a pretty damn cool life. But I like the way it was written and I do love the story line, but I wish it was a little better

To all you fans that Love this book Screw you i never read this book but watched the movie there is nothing bad about vampires and they sparkle in the sun they cant die unless you rip their heads out… and pretty much the Movie gives it all away nothing really else… and WE HAVE A LIFE WE DONT DRESS UP AS DOUCHE BAG VAMPIRES WANNA-BE’S and act all cool id rather Read something like Spiderwick Chronicals that has more Action(really) than twilight and why would you even look at this if you love The book?

I’m not a big fan of the books either, but really this list could’ve been 15 things. Your reasons were often redundant or completely insubstantial. If you want to criticize something, try to sound more intelligent than what you’re criticizing.

This entire list was an epic win, and I agree 100%.

I am a reader of Twilight and while I do enjoy the books of the series. I TOTALLY give you kudos on the ability to nitpick TWILIGHT’s every flaw. That was dire sarcasm by the way.
Every book has it’s flaws.
Even though Twilight produces a newly-dressed but common plot, it does not mean it is not enjoyable for other people. Every author has their style and every person has their reading level. If you are a person of a higher level of reading and are into complex plots and literary works, then yes, I would not recommend Twilight as a read. But simplicity has it’s own beauty in my opinion. I’ll admit it is a nice, simple book that pleases me and I don’t mind taking a break from more advanced literary works to chill out and read it.

Despite everything, I laughed a lot with this list as it pointed out things I didn’t notice before. I frowned at some and laughed at others. For that I do give you real kudos. Haha, keep up the good work but keep in mind that while you are entitled to your opinions, we are also entitled to ours.
I like to think that Twilight fans should be able to laugh at ourselves a little bit because, all in all, Twilight is just catering to our every fangirl wish and I don’t see why we should be ashamed to indulge like that. Lighten up everyone, there’s a little humour in everything we do.

hahas, i love this and i actually finished all 95, considering i am not very persistant when it comes to such things, and am quoting it (:

who ever hate twilight are freaks twilight is the best !!! edward is very hot and bella is cool,erm me and my sis had a very emotional cry at this so all you haters are freaks

To be honest, I love the books. That may be though, because I recognize and appreciate them for the nonsense that they are and am old enough to know that a sparkly stalker is not fantasy material, even if Edward is totally a VILF. I don’t Bella was quite as one dimensional as you made out but point taken, and I wish characters like Jasper and Alice had been developed more, they did seem very interesting.

I did love the classic chick lit style and cut and dry happy endings – isn’t that what it was written for? Definitely not Kundera or even Kinsella, but cute enough

Not all Twifans are abusive, violent or ignorant!!! But we apologise for those who are

Smileyface … you are a typical fangirl (horrible spelling, accusing us of hating Twilight just because of its success, fudge like that) and it makes me very sad. I don’t care one iota that it was a big success or that it has a lot of fans. I care about the horrible writing style, the ’sparklepires’ (they are not real vampires) the bad messages it is giving teenage girls-and they are believing-and such.

Twilight is a bad movie.

You forgot the most important point- Twilight is essentally Buffy The Vampire Slayer for brainless pre-teen girls who feel threatened by strong females and want non-sexually threatening guys to drool over.

Please kids; watch Buffy, read LJ Smith’s novels and stop dreaming about ‘White Knights’… Why should you wait for a guy to come into your life to ’save you’ from boredom?

Butthurt fan girls, lol.

Clearly EVERYBODY has their own opinions. I am not a ” twilight ” fan , but i did enjoy the books. Just cause it was a good read ” to pass time ” !! tough some of things written on the list is true and very CORRECT. I still enjoyed the book , though i know IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN , MEYER has quite an imagination. CLEARLY if she was a ” BAD ” author as you say. The books would not have been published and she wouldn’t be “RICH” off such “HORRIBLE BOOKS” ..

one i don’t know, what there is to be JEALOUS of, many people can become creative and create such books like the TWILIGHT SERIES.

i find it very funny for those ” unforuntiate Girls ” who are madly INLOVE with such a false “FLAWLESS CHARACTER” who will never exist in this generation , or ANY generation to be EXACT! ..

Sorry TWIFANS. on that part.

But. overall, i still enjoyed the read (Y)

I’m 18 years old. I’m female. I’m sick of Twilight. I’m sick of Edward Bloody Cullen. I’m sick of screaming fan girls. I’m sick of screaming fan girls who are in love with a fictional vampire who SPARKLES (???) and resort to death threats when people tell them the truth about the “works of art” that these books supposedly are.

The books, put simply, SUCK. There really is no other way to say it.

Thank you for writing this. I agree with you 100%. I just wish more people did.

i totaly agree with everything u said. with one exception. Martin Luther was an antisemite (jew hater), so i dont take his oppinions to heart very often. i know, i know, he lead the protestant reformation and stuff, but he was still a racist.

and TWILIGT SUCKS!!!! no plot whatsoever!

LOL. super powers from reading.
the book was OKAY. but i noticed it did get annoying, and yes, some guys read twilight lol

yes i could izzy, if i had powers like alice, see, i knew you were gonna write that.

lol. stupid book

i only read the first book….and it wasn’t terrible…but a fluffy teen romance novel should be limited to under 300 pages.

*Sorry, I meant to write ‘the whole way through’. I am getting my grammar wrong – please don’t blame me, I don’t feel well!

thisisbull, come on! just because we don’t like twilight doesn’t mean we’re twits!

What’s Gossip Girl got to with Harry Potter or Twilight? Not every Anti-Twilighter here loves Harry Potter, I’m sure. Come to think of it, Harry Potter didn’t really have much to do with that list in the first place – but seriously!

AHAHAHA
omigod, these made me laugh so hard. What’s sad is that I am a Twilight fan, and I’m mostly just laughing at my stupidity after reading these. You have several valid points though, my personal favorite being:

“If the firs 200 pages of your book relies on the mystery of a character’s identity, don’t slap ‘First, Edward was a vampire’ on the back cover.”

ROFL thank you for these. Twilight fans shouldn’t be so hardcore, laugh at the books and love em, I’ve learned to do both XDD

only you could think of these reasons not to like this book. Its a book and girls aren’t going to wait for ever to find their Edward Cullen. Have you found your Edward?

“Vampires can’t get people pregnant. SPOILER!”

Yes they can.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_(film)

Nice list. Mostly spot on. And while I know that some of you will disagree, I personally found Twilight rather twisted. I mean, since when has blood that smells like it would taste nice been the basis of any relationship? And stalker much, in essence telling Bella sleeps pretty? The premise would have worked better if it was meant to be messed up. The almost religious fanaticisim that this book instils in its fans is demonstrated by one of my fried’s ex. She told him that she wanted to have two kids; a boy named Edward and a girl named Bella, named after a chronically depressed emo and her sparkly vampire boyfriend… I rest my case

I couldn’t stop laughing, all of it true.

The whole vampire falls for human girl and saves her and has a baby (or so I’ve heard, no clue is the baby is true) is so… 7th grade-9th grade teen girl angst late night writings of their long desires.

I have enjoyed reading the books and agree with a select few of the things tha thave been said (for instance, the ‘baby’ writting and bad use of adjectives). And I am also very happy that, once readng through the entire list, I came across “You are allowed to have your own opinion, just like we are allowed to have ours. Get over it. Twilight fans don’t seem to understand that though and attack at the mention of flaw in the book.”

I agree. We are all allowed to have and state our opinions. My opinion is that it is a good book in the fact that it has attracted so many people and fans. It was a page turner, though you may say only because you wanted to hear more ‘lameness’.

The major problem I have with the book is that it was written for intelligent people. Don’t get me wrong here. It was poorly written, but the plot was meant for people with developed brains. The fan girls who have come to love Edward should do just that. If they want to waste their life waiting for him… well that just tells me that they were mentally unprepared to read Twilight.

Some other things I don’t like are the sequels. Twilight was a fairly good book until the Baseball scene. I didn’t care for the James/Victoria nonsense. New Moon was annoying becuase she was sulking throughout the entire book. Eclipse and Breaking Dawn were quite revolting. Yet I read them. And from what you have said, so did you. That is the power of the series. Though you may not have realised it, it drew you in, if only barely. You kept reading becuase some aprt of you wanted to know what would happen. Of course, you might have wanted to know just so you could write this. But it did it’s job.

I enjoyed reading your list, though I would like to point out that there are quite a few times where you repeat yourself (if I were writing this, I would have done that to emulate the repetitivness of the series itself). There are also a few comments that have nothing to do with why you shouldn’t read Twilight. As a whole, I think you SHOULD read Twilight, not becuase it is compleling (which it isn’t at all times) or becuase it is written well (which it isn’t) or becuase everyone else is doing it. No, you should read it becuase it will allow you to view the style of many authors. You can take what you read and apply it to your own writing, and even your conversation and beliefs. You learn what you hate about certain books, and what you like.

On that note, I leave one question that bothered me the entire time I read the book: What happens when Bella is having her period? If Edward can’t resist her blood, then they have a problem.

I think its funny that you kept talking about how Meyers isn’t original, and kept repeating herself, when you did the same exact thing writing this list. If you are going to write a list, at least make valid points, other than that girls will stop liking boys because they aren’t Edward. I liked the books, and oddly enough I am not waiting for a sexy vampire to come sweep me off my feet. I also think its funny that you had to go to random people on the street just to make a longer list, to make it seem more impressive.

oh my god you really dont have a life dont you?? jajajaja 95 excuses why you dont like twilight? LAME and by the way twilight is the best book ever! and stephenie is an awesome writer too , who the heck is steph king??? jaja i gotta admit some excuses are right but who cares?? twilight is so good!
by! love twilight !!

…Okay, to the Twitard with the name ‘love twilight’…you seriously have no idea who Stephen King is? Wow, have you been living in a little bubble your entire life? Seriously?

most of the reasons are totally nonsense. there’s no book that’s good for everyone. each one has their own likes and dislikes. it’s just a book, if you don’t like it then read another one. there’s no need to make a very long list of why you hate it and telling others that they shouldn’t read it. please…not everyone hates it as much as you do!

Just to make my pint absolutley clear if she writes that her vvampires are differetn to “the legendary ones” first of all does that mean she thinks these aren’t legendary then does that mean she thinks they are real? And secondly don’t call them vampires then!

SO DO I!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hate twlight!

shhhhffeeet!

52. Do any guys actually like Twilight?

I do, actually (and I’m a guy). Unfortunately, that means nothing. I’ve trained myself to ignore terrible plots and bad grammar in order to enjoy a terrible story that gets embellished in my own brain. Hell, I read fanfiction. Like, bad fanfiction. Yeah. I agree with this post, even though I love Twlight.

Bella/Edward forever.

I agree with you that this book is horrid and a bane to human kind, but if you are giving reason not to read the book you can’t use the same reason multiple times. Just like you argued that we know Edward is perfect after the 4th time being told you can’t use that argument 2 or 3 times, it is the same with the argument that he sparkles.

Agreed! I wrote exactly like Meyer when I was 12. As for the “love,” it took me a lot of years to realize that my marriage was not a Sweet Dreams romance and that sometimes my hubby can be a total dickface. Like any real man in any real relationship. This kind of crap just further warps our Disney-fed girls into unrealistic expectations. That’s my real fear here.

Now, see, I agree with all your reasons, but I disagree with your conclusion. Your conclusion is that Twilight is bad. Nothing is objectively bad. Actually, you know what, by that logic, you’re right. Twilight is bad. It’s also good. It’s also horrible, great, average, and anything else a book could ever be, because book quality is a subjective variable that cannot be irrefutably determined. Twilight’s quality, and, for that matter, any quality, is a metaphorical superposition caused by multitudes of opinions. But it’s not objectively bad; it’s SUBjectively bad, and that’s why it can also be good without contradiction. So essentially, if these reasons denote a bad book to you, then don’t read Twilight, because it sucks. If you like the sound of these reasons, go ahead and read it, because it’s amazing.

if u want to ask me why hp rulz, ill tell u. it has one of the most intricit web of charicters i have ever seen. not only that but you could tell all sorts of things about the plot. like severus snape re-written looks like “pursues evens” (spoiler) and voldemorts wand is yew, which in mythology represents imortality. and malfoy means bad faith in french. and on and on and on….

does twilight have that? NO!!!!

ummm if you hate “The Twilight Saga” so much why would you write 95 reasons about the book??????

ha ha This is so hilarious…I really liked the book until I read this and now I notice all the things you said and your totally right!! ha ha

SHOOT YOU!!!!twilight is the best book and movie!!!!!

I agree on almost all of the reasons, especially #10 and #65.

In my point of view, there are a lot of fans of Twilight and EDWARD because (1)everyone seems to be into it and others don’t want to be out-dated or behind; (2)Robert Pattinson, an eye-catcher guy, played Edward’s part; and (3)it’s made for teens and teens don’t really mind reading between the lines, all they care about is the “ROMANCE” part of the book.

I don’t really like Twilight. :/

You’re so right! Don’t listen to what some of the other comments say about none of the reasons being valid; most of them are very good reasons, and the rest are funny!

Reads like a formula Mills & Boon with two-dimensional characters. Loner pretty girl meets loner strong handsome guy. Only their love for each other can save them, like codepenant drug-addict trash. The superficiality of it all makes me wanna puke, almost as much as the attention it gets. Litterary slop from the gutter.

I hated the whole series and everything about twilight. It’s seriously gay and annoying how it’s everywhere. Once I was driving around my town when I saw a car with the bumper sticker saying, “got twilight?” and I laughed at the sight of an obsessed freak of nature. I hate twilight and amen to all that you said.

I totally agree with you. I read a lot of books, I’m basically a biblioholic (a biblioholic is someone that has an obsession with books) and I have read quite literally 100 books that are soooo much better than the Twilight series. I wish that people would get over it. One of my friends saw these two girls at that thingy in geelong were you could meet the people that play Laurant (I think that’s how you spell it) and Emmet and get their autograph it cost $30 dollars!!! Anyway the two girls started hyperventilating and had to be taken out of the line and when they had calmed down they got back in the line and when the got to them they jumped over the barrier and ran at them screaming. OMG get a life!!!!

-Teska

I agree with you completely. I actually kind of liked the first book despite all the flaws until I read the second one.

You know what I have to say? Quit criticizing twilight! If you don’t like it oh well.

Answers:

1.) Bella isn’t perfect… she’s clumsy and most girls are. Bella lives in her own world and most girls dont.

2.)Edward dosnt always catch her. What about Jacob? Forget him too? Yeah well, friends do always catch you when you fall.

3.) She does to do stuff without Edward. So you are forgetting Jacob! Well, let me tell you that you are wrong!

4.) She dosnt try to commit it! Get a life! She is cliff-diving FYI! Try it sometime!

5.)Bella is not Steph! Steph is not Bella.

6.)The books are well written! Thats why it was made into a movie and plus there making the whole series. So there! Plus Twilight has a million fans!

7.)What Vampire rules? Trying to scare little kids now right? Well I never liked Dracula anyways.. he was lame!

8.) Same as 7

9.) Sorry. And so what if they like Alice or Rosalie? Then Jasper and Emmet are for them. Seriously, the book would influence those boys if they read it.

10.) GIVE JACOB CREDIT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

So JJ Twilight lover (ME) will be back! Dont worry

#31 Bella, Swan. There is a deeper meaning behind that( Bella means beautiful and Swans are suposed to usually travel in pairs…. get it?) and the other names are the ones that were around when that character was born so they make sense. e.g. Edward was an extremely popular name for the time he was supposedly born so it kida, really makes sense.

I think who wrote this website is a STUPID HEAD. You probaly couln’t write any better if you about to get killed. If I wanted to I could write 94 reasons why I hate YOU!!!! The 95th reason was NOT a reason. Bye Bye Dummy mc. stupid head.

Yeah,i know,it’s so annoying..
guess what?
i bought an entire saga and hated the first book so much i never bothered to read the last three..
it sucks!now i end up regretting that i bought thos instead of the deathly hallows!!
i mean,bella is still too young and she gets married and her mom agrees?
what kind of a mother is her mother??

To #598 no were not ‘trying to be cool’ bye hating Twilight, we are just trying to express our opinions about the book-if you are allowed to have your opinion, then we are allowed ours. You don’t see us hijacking the ‘we love Twilight’ or ‘how much do you love Twilight’ lists and forums.
We want a place to express OUR OPINIONs with out people contridicting us, we are allowed our own opinion.

In my mind, Twilight is a poorly written book, filled with gramatical mistakes and over use of descriptions. It’s just anout a sappy girl who thinks her life revolves around Edward bloody Cullen and expects to be rescued by her ‘prince charming’ everytime she gets into trouble.

Honestly, I enjoyed the books. Where I live, it wasn’t even popular until this year. That’s one thing that bothered me.
I read it before most people here.
Then the crazed ‘Twilighters’ showed up. How disgusting.
The books were NOT that amazing people. They were… okay, at best. I met Stephanie Meyer, and she’s not that great either. Yeah, she’s pretty nice. But she’s almost as bland as the books were.

Thank you for this incredible list! Made my morning a little bit brighter….and now I have a list of my own to share with you, in a way –this is a column I wrote for my local paper. The best bits are the responses I got, and I’m sure you can identify. People are fantastically idiotic.

To #604
I can’t understand half of what you’re trying to say in this comment; maybe try learning proper grammar and spelling before calling out someone else. No one will respect your opinion if you don’t even care to express it in a way that can be understood. I’m not even going to go into why I disagree with your reasoning, because I can’t get past how awful the comment itself was.

Sarah Rebecca…your list is lame and redundant. Why are you so jealous? Why are you such a hater? I guess this was the only thing you could get people to read. Actually, it’s just a list of 95 or so things that you complain about, most of which is just reworded in different ways (much like your complaints about Twilight), and even then I stopped reading somewhere around 11 on your list of complaints. Why are you such a hater? Seriously, maybe you should talk to a professional about your anger issues.
I’m just saying….

OMG !!!!!!! SHUT UP !! twilight is da best seris of books evermade !!! could u write 4 books ?? i dont tink so !!! all books are based onn igmation u all dont have any !!! yes boys dont sparkle !!! but they dont wear black capes either !! so stephines is a more real and modren type vampire !!! yous are ovislously either stupit or slow cause look around twilight is da biggest ting out dare !!!

YOU ARE JUST A OBBESED AS EVERYONE ELSE CAUSE IF U DIDNT LIKE IT U WOUNT NT HAVE SPENT UR TIME WRITING 95 THINGS ABOUT TWILIGHT ??

i so agree with every single word that you guys said. How about if the STUPID twilight fans wanna kill us, how about we kill them and make them shut up about their obsession of the damn series.

omg! # 89 had me lmaoing.
Light Yagami doesn’t approve of Twilight and you shouldn’t either!! XD
I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!

(misaki doesnt approve either. God told him not to)

You were SPOT ON. I was so desperately seeking for someone who hates twilight as much as me. It’s terrible. I wanted to tear the book when I got to the 3rd chapter. And your reasons were absolutely hilarious!! I TOTALLY agree. THANK YOU

You clearly haven’t read the book, #4…. Bella doesn’t try to commit sucide.
And also #88 i think

You are allowed to have your own opinion, just like we are allowed to have ours. Get over it. Twilight fans don’t seem to understand that though and attack at the mention of flaw in the book.

You cant say that after #18
People say that Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Guess what? WRONG.
A little hypocritical don’t you think?

“9. The world population will come to an end because all girls who read this book will think they are Bella and will wait for their Edward to come until they are old. And he’ll never come.”

That’s not fair. Don’t stick stereotypes on us fantasy-loving-to-the-point-where-it’s-almost-a-cult teenage girls. The first time I read twilight, I thought it was boring, poorly written and creep… it reminded me of a fan fiction… like Stephanie Meyer made one of her sexual fantasies into a book.

I’m a huge fan of vampire novels. It’s safe to say I’m obsessed. So my friends found it SHOCKING when I HATED this book. But to anyone in their right mind, it’s not hard to see why.

Twilight is an insult to vampires. AND THAT’S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

One of my friends stopped talking to me because I hate the book. She calls me an “Edward Hater”.

Twilight is the worst book in the world. That, and y does everyone think Robert Pattinson is hot? HE’S SOOOOOOOOOO UGLY!!!!! Idk wut Bella sees in him. The book doesn’t even make sense. If shes trying to be close with him and then he moves away, y does he apologize? “Oh, I’m so sorry for avoiding your greasy touch. PLEASE stop dating me.” Twilight is so dumb! Y does everyone love it?????????

I totally agree with you about twilight.
I’m so annoyed with Bella. I mean who goes into a depression for 6 months over a stupid guy she’s only been dating for less than a year. Drama queen.
And why did Bella have to be in the battle in Eclipse. Sit back and relax. Everyones heard enough about you.
Why did Bella go and have a kid in the end. Renessme ruined the whole series and all of Breaking Dawn was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHEESY!
Anyway thanks for writing this!

I enjoy reading it, but twilight is CRAP. It’s a lot of crap about a talentless hack called Bella and a pedophilic vampire who fall in love with each other instantly for the only two reason that Bella smells good and Edward is hot. Bella’s life revolves completely around Edward. Truth: 95/95

actually you probably could fit those 4 books into 1…without all the description and stuff like it takes about 3 pages for bella to jump off a cliff…

I loved this book, Bella was prehaps THE most original character ever created, as is the story line. I can’t wait for my very own Edward to come along, and he can rescue me and he can catch me when I’m clumsy. If people dont like twilight I Susan Boyle will us my AWESOME vampire powers on you!
Glitter Mode! Engage!

The list was great!I laughed as much as I laughed when I read Twilight.

WRONG!!!!

YES #66 is so right.

I have read the first three books of the Twilight series
I have enjoyed all three but I am not going to bother reading the last book yet, as I am reading something far more interesting: Wuthering Heights

It is far more romantic than the whole Twilight series
and oh, I’m in love with the novel
so overall, Twilight is good, but theres way much better

As previously said the people who moon over Edward all there lifes will never have any children.

Meyer Elevated the Gene pool.

…

I’m sorry, I know nobody gives a crap about my opinion, but I just have to say it!

I didn’t even read this whole list, because most of them are childish, stupid, confusing, narrow-eyed (don’t know if that’s a word in English) and most of all, not true. Sure, some of them might work for you people who just gotta hate it, but it’s so many things I can’t see how it’s a bad thing! For instance, why is the fact that you think Bella is perfect a bad thing?
And for your narrow-eyedness (I really don’t think THAT is a word..), she doesn’t mention fangs, because they don’t have any. Are you so stupid that you really don’t realize that it’s fiction, and that you can write almost anything you want when you writing fiction? Of course she doesn’t have to stick to all the other vampire-legends! It’s a huge part of it all!!
And you use the same accusations sooo many times. It’s not 95 reasons, it’s maybe 10. And, if you have an IQ above 80 and have read the books, the list probably gets much, much shorter than those 10 reasons.

Norwegian Twilighter –I think the word you were looking for was narrow-mindedness.
I disagree with your comment to some extent -yes, the author of this list is vitriolic and repetitive, but in her defense, so are most of the comments she receives. Trying to have a conversation with a “Twilight” Fan is usually like trying to converse with a rabid wolverine; none of them will accept any legitimate criticism of the stories (and there is plenty), so we descend into the same level of immaturity we deal with.
Now to promote myself…I have a similar article that was published in my local newspaper, and I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Here’s the link:
http://www.thecourier.com/Issues/2009/Jan/11/ar_news_011109_story9.asp?d=011109_story9,2009,Jan,11&c=n

You forgot to mention that they go to high school over and over again. For decades. I saw the movie and they had a million graduation hats on the wall. Wtf is up with that? If I could live forever I wouldn’t be going to high school over and over.

lol, i totally agree! i hate twilight with all my heart!! death to twilight!

Excuse me Lola-you do realise you talking about a book?? your vehemently defending a character in a book who does not exist and will never existed-the fact that you think that he IS real is a sign of Physicosis-no offense or anything but no one is ever going to get a guy like Edward because he does not exist-please just don’t say anything else because it just sounds overly obcesive and it also sounds as if you have fooled your brain into beliving that fictional characters exist.
And to conclude we can actually ‘trash talk’ anyone we want because if you have not noticed that this is a Hating Twilight List-we are on this site because we do not like the book-do not expect every person in the world to like the same thing as you do-get over yourself.

i just hate how all the girls reading it, and by that i mean half the population, don’t have lives. i have not read the twilight books, because they sound like crap.

I love it how most of the Twilight fans are talking about the CHARACTERS as if they are real people. This book has made millions of girls obsessed with something that is completley and utterly made up.

I thought Twilight was written by R.L. Stein, so, hey! What an informative blog i’ve stumbled onto.

Luckily the literary community does not take 14-year-old girls’ opinions seriously. But im sure the scholastic bookfair does.

oh my god..i love it..your reasons are just so perfect..whats with twilight anyway?..thats true Harry Potter can kick Edwards ass anytime!..but i do get why they love twilight..and its because of Edward..he’s sexy and everything that is perfect for a guy..girls love the idea of him in their minds while they are reading the book..he is like the perfect modern Romeo/Prince Charming..girls just love the idea of it right..i too fell for it..but i just hate when people say its the best or it tops among the other books..i just hate when people give too much fuss about it..there are so many books and movies that are better than twilight and its series..or books turned into movies..what lord of the rings and harry potter just went out of the picture when twilight arrived?..come on!..look at the content..look at the effort people went through to write these books..look at the talent Tolkien and Rowling and other renowned writers..they are nothing compared to whoever wrote the twilight series..twilight and its other books may be good and its writer might be good too..but please dont ignore and make it the best book ever written for there are so many books better and has more substance than it..some books may lack the “Edward-factor” but some books are more romantic, more interesting and more thrilling and some books also have cute/hot characters..so lets just put this twilight fever into a stop..some other movies and books require our much needed attention and appreciation!!!!

ahh these are amazing lol
especially:
81 – chuck norris ftw?
86 – that comes up alot but still

You know, Twilight is going to cause the next world war with dumbshi* up vampires and warewolfs the only cool guy is Jacob who the only person that isnt a rapist. Haha Join the cult Twilight haters.

i actually enjoyed the series as a part of pleasure reading and free time. but i also enjoyed this list. (:
i’m pretty unbiased. but i agree with almost your whole list most def

Those Fan girls are utterly INSANE! But, the truth is, anyone of the non-loving Twilight people could kick any Fan chick’s ass.., I mean, come on; after they threaten your life with their aquired Vampire powers, the second you attempt to grate their face with the floor they’re going to run screaming or hope with their pathetic little hearts that their ‘Edward’ will save them. And then they will die. xD

did i miss something, isn’t this supposed to be funny? i mean there is a little bit of dramatic irony here with the author commenting on how intense and humorless twilight fans are and then the fans respond by being totally intense and completely humorless. i have never read the books but i did watch the movie when i was really sick. i thought it was visually appealing to watch but that nothing happened. no story arc or real character development or anything. but perfect to watch when you have the flu!
anyway even having not read the books but being familiar with them, this list was pretty funny! not every item on the list was great but quite of few of them really cracked me up. like these:

Why is it called the Twilight Series if only one book is titled Twilight?

A hundred years difference = pedophile. ha ha!

If the first 200 pages of your book rely on the mystery of a character’s identity, don’t slap “First, Edward was a vampire” on the back cover.

and finally: It’s just not healthy to teach young girls that True Love involves the guy watching you while you sleep. priceless.

and i am pretty sure that was the point. to be funny. not to “shove a personal opinion down everyone’s throats.” um, intense much? it’s a joke, chillax.

You Seriously Need Yo Check Into A Mental Health Clinic If You Think That There Is ANYTHING Wrong With Twilight! I Am A Obsessed Fan And If I Were You, If You Don’t Want A Cult Of Fan Girls At Your Door Trying To Kill You , Keep Your Crappy Opinions To Yourself Meyer Is The Best Author Ever! Twilgiht Beats HP Hands Down, And Btw, Twilight Haters Need A Life Check =D

Actually I Like Harry Potter So Yeah, Im Just Saying No Need Try And Put People Off It By Puttng Them Thigs Down Is There? No. And Is My Life Based Around This Book, Er No So Next Time Wanna Check Before You Accuse Because I Like My Tvm!

osea no me molesta que no te guste
yo se un cojon de gente k no le gusta y estoi fine con eso
pero
lol
gastar tanto fkn tiempo, osea 95 razones? loka matate, en realidad no tienes mas nada que hacer
tripeate esto, te gusta hp y es una senda mierda
la gente fanatica dice esas cosas de twilight pq sabemos que les jode la paciencia jaja
tu lo coges demaciado de serio

true true

I really wish people would stop talking about it. Trying to convince Twitards that the book is ultimately a highly flawed piece of literature is like trying to convince Baptists that being gay is not a psychological problem that can be solved by Jesus.

I want to stop hitting “Stumble” and seeing Twilight wordvomit. Just sayin’.

My Mom read the first chapter of New Moon, said it’s cheesy(Period)

Thanks , I Appreciate A Civil Response From A Twilight Hater I To Am Sorry For Judging Your Opinions, Your Right And Don’t Worry People Say Worse Things About Twilight At My School Haha (: I Do See Your Point Of View A Little Bit, I Admit =D We Can All Get Along Together Haha (:  And Twilight Rules Haha Had To Put That In (Y)!

I think you are just as much as a LOSER as the people who rave about twilight because you spent all that time making up 95 reasons why you hate it. FACE IT YOU’RE A LOSER!!!!

Whoever wrote this is a legend.

My main point is, number 62 made me lol so hard…

The internet has people expressing their opinion?! Go figure!!
Seriously, that\’s all the internet is. Has anyone seen site\’s like 4chan? I mean, really.

There goes my faith in humanity… although, most of the Internet\’s population has already killed that.

Anyway, look! I managed to use coherent sentences, and proper spelling! Punctuation, even! See, it\’s not that hard, now is it?

Although, to those writing this list, many of your points were repeated, and not all of them were actual reasons against the book. Just for the record.

Now that I\’ve made my few points, I want to recommend an EXCELLENT series of books, so amazing and well written, with and intricate plot and amazing character development. It\’s not for you stupid teenage girls, either, with your sparkly vampires. Its got assassins, magic, death, lots and lots of blood, various other mature things… for those looking for a GOOD book, with REAL action, this is the book for you. It\’s a trilogy, and the first is called Way of the Shadows.

Please read it.

And be wary… Most people online may be sarcastic, or joking. Don’t take all jokes, or even statements, seriously.

YOUR ALL WRONG, ALL OF YOU. SHUT UP AND STOP BEING STUPID. I GET IT. YOU HAVE YOUR OPINIONS. YES MOST OF THIS LIST WAS STUPID. YES MOST OF TWILIGHT WAS STUPID. THAT’S THE TRUTH, THE END, GET OVER IT

its the stupidest plot ever! he likes her because she smells good and cant read her mind! this is insane i have read stories by 1st graders that make more sense

your comment on twilight made me puke!their so stupid it made me think your stupid!then again maybe you are, i don’t know!i find your stupid reasons very HURTFUL!mars just might be right! you are a loser because if you didn’t like “Twilight” why did you waste your time reading the rest of [to you] the oh so boring “Twilight” series!

I read the first book. I read the second book thinking it would somehow redeem itself. Harry Potter was meant for a younger audience, so maybe you just have to get through the slosh. I’m sure there had to be some real story in there other than the Mary-Sure and Mr Sparkles to be so popular, right? I wish I could get my money back.

“People say that Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Guess what? WRONG.” I rather read Harry Potter than Twilight…

I love you! C: This perfectly sums up that entire piece of trash series.

The only reason why this book/series is “enjoyible” to teenage girls in perticular is because the book is easy to read and they would rather read something easy (such as the Twilght series) than to read something they would actually have to think about(and figure out for themselves).

I hate it too! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090607195844AADCJ4D People who also hate it, comment here about why xD BAN TOGETHER!!

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this website!!!!!!!

I’m still trying to get over the fact that this series got published!

haha the whole time i was reading your reasons i was like ‘THATS WHAT I SAID!!’ i posted a link to this on my fackebook page, i hope more people read this and realize how right u are, ugh twilight bugs me so much, thank you for sharing this wonderful writing,and i read the article where stephen king said stephenie meyers is a horrible author and im just like yes yes a million times yes, i love jkr and omg i hope twilight is destroyed

I feel terrible for Stephenie Meyer….I hate it when people start bashing HER. You can say what you don’t like about the book series, and you can rant about the ridiculously misled fandom, but Stephenie, as “poorly written” as Twilight is, put a lot of work into the books. It’s not her fault that this is the only kind of “literature” that my generation seems to want to read. She wrote them, a bunch of stupid girls fell for her characters.

Holy crap! I hate Twilight! One of my friends will not stop talking about it, and it makes me not even want to talk to her. When I read the 1st book, I thought the series was alright, but i was dead wrong. It is the worst written, most boring, most predictable pice of crap I have unfortunately wasted time in my life reading. If Stephanie Meyer wants to be a good author, maybe she should take tips from people like J.K. Rowling. At least Harry Potter has fans other than stupid teenaged girls who need to get a life (and I even am a tennaged girl). This series was pretty much the biggest waste of time, effort, and money I have made in my life!

L0l @ hero jaejoong’s comment.
Twilight sucks and the fan girls are just as stupid

terribly written, but addicting to read. & robert pattinson

Live and let live… everyone is entitled to their own opinion… it’s human nature after all…

I personally didn’t mind the books as a lark (something to read) but, I’m not treating the saga as the new testament or anything, unlike many on Yahoo Answers Mythology and Folklore section…

But, you have to admit that love it or hate it by blogging about it you’re giving more fuel to the fire…

As opinions go one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and literature is quite the same…

The Twilight craze has completely taken over the nation: the minds and Facebook profiles of teenaged girls across the country are consumed by this series of books and the accompanying movie, and it is really beyond understanding. Those who truly know good literature and what it entails cannot comprehend the attraction to these books, nor the obsession that so often results.
Before the legions of angry Twilight defenders descend, hurling invective and claiming that no one has read the books can dare to criticize them, be aware that each one of the books has been read, cover to cover. And the books deserve every bit of legitimate criticism they receive.
First and foremost, the characters themselves are appalling. Nobody in the entire world acts like the characters in this series, except in B-movies and romance novels. And girls, Edward is not that great. He’s paranoid, obsessive and controlling: sitting outside someone’s window while they sleep is not a romantic gesture. It’s stalking. Bella is what is known as a “Mary Sue”: a character written into a major role with her main purpose being wish fulfillment for the writer or readers (or both). Bella is not a well-developed character by any stretch of the imagination. Her main purpose is to narrate the story and complain about her life, allowing unhappy teenagers to insert their own personalities where Bella’s is left to be nonexistent, or annoying.
As for the rest of the cast, the stereotypes are so obvious as to be sickening. The jealous “other man” (Jacob and apparently every other guy with whom Bella goes to school), the gooey best friends who contribute nothing but convenient interruptions to Bella’s musings on Edward, annoying parents and, in the case of these fantasy stories, slick, unlikeable but tempting villains. The list goes on and on, but the point is this: the characters are cardboard cutouts, destined to fall over at the first sign of a real plot line.
And there is another problem: the story itself. Rarely, if ever, has a book (much less an entire series) been so contrived and poorly written that it really wasn’t worth finishing. Every book in the series follows the exact same narrative path, without changing a bit. A narrative arc is one thing; repeating it four times over many hundreds of pages is another.
Meyer’s books are incredibly puerile in both content and form; they may be intended for younger audiences, but youth does not equal the inability to read complex stories or well-constructed sentences. Any stickler for proper grammar and good writing will be horrified at the sheer number of mistakes and poorly written sentences –even if the books were great, sloppy writing is sloppy writing, and it detracts from the work.
The vampire genre itself is an old one, and many of the characteristics shown by Meyer’s cardboard lookalikes are nothing new. However, many of the traits are downright ridiculous when thought about (sparkly vampires? Really?). While holding onto a literary theme or motif for a long period of time can cause it to stagnate and become uninteresting, Meyer’s “innovations” on the vampire genre completely ignore any and all of what makes vampires so interesting. Her creations are emasculated, shiny and entirely too convenient for them to be the fascinating creatures promised by the series.
One of the biggest issues with Meyer’s writing is her absolute inability to take a risk as an author. Nothing in real life works out as smoothly as it does in the Twilight series. The entire story line condenses into a simple, neat package, as easily put together as a four-piece puzzle, and about as interesting. Nothing goes wrong that is not remedied; no questions are left unanswered; no actual tragedy or real harm befalls any single character. No imagination or intelligence is required of the reader beyond the ability to read. When readers are left wishing that the villains had in fact killed a few of the main characters, something is not right.
No story worth the acclaim Twilight has received should fall into place without even the slightest hitch. No books as long as these should leave the reader without anything to think about except how dreamy Edward is, or how much they wish they were Bella. Escapism is not a new tradition in writing, and it’s not without merit, but Twilight crosses over from “escapism” into “absolute pipe-dream.” Escapism can be lots of fun to read when it’s well done. Unfortunately for Twilight and its legions of fans, these books are not well done.
In the end, there’s nothing wrong with sitting down and reading Twilight, if you don’t mind wasting several hours or days on a series of books not worth the paper on which they are printed. By all means, read and enjoy, drool over Edward, curse Jacob, revile the Volturi; that’s your prerogative. But stop insisting to the world that these are “the greatest books ever.” They aren’t.

u prob made a lot of money from publishing this on triond haha

We just did a video about why Twilight stinks….. check it out here, send it to your friends:

Please feel free to add more reasons to the list.

MORE THINGS WRONG WITH TWILIGHT

1. Controlling boyfriends are okay, if they are hot.
2. True love can be defined through hot boys and great smelling chicks.
3. Making boys save you from all your problems is the right path to becoming a good and independent individual.
4. Girls are all weak and need boys to come save them.
5. Give up all of your dreams and goals (even if that DOES mean reading Wuthering Heights over and over) for a boy.
6. Be mean to your dad.
7. The Chief of Police is stupid and won’t be able to tell you are sneaking a boy into your room. So do it.
8. Women are meant to be in the kitchen, because cooking it the only thing Bella knows how to do.
9. Making out with your daughter’s bf is okay.
10. Making out with someone else when you are engaged is also okay.
11. Name your child Renesme and you won’t regret it.
12. Refuse to have any friends at school because they aren’t good enough for you anyway.
13. Killing yourself is okay, as long as it’s in the name of love.
14. Date Edward Cullen. And then you too can marry him and have a crazy half-vampire kid that doesn’t exist.
15. Vampires produce semen as well as venom
16. The name of the books are nothing to do with the contents.
17. Twilight sucks even the actors of the shit (however somehow box office hit) movie thinks so too. and i would act in a shit movie as well if i got paid 12 million dollars so i dont blame them.

omggg ur funny…. i agree with everything loooooooooooooool……………..except for the light yagami part lool what does that got to do withg anything but stilll funny…. i am actually listening to the audio books and i am tottally hating it and i know then why am i still listening to it lol. i was actually trying to fathom why its such a big deal.. nd i am glad to know i am not the only one who feels that way lol.

Please feel free to add more reasons to the list.

MORE THINGS WRONG WITH TWILIGHT

1. Controlling boyfriends are okay, if they are hot.
2. True love can be defined through hot boys and great smelling chicks.
3. Making boys save you from all your problems is the right path to becoming a good and independent individual.
4. Girls are all weak and need boys to come save them.
5. Give up all of your dreams and goals (even if that DOES mean reading Wuthering Heights over and over) for a boy.
6. Be mean to your dad.
7. The Chief of Police is stupid and won’t be able to tell you are sneaking a boy into your room. So do it.
8. Women are meant to be in the kitchen, because cooking it the only thing Bella knows how to do.
9. Making out with your daughter’s bf is okay.
10. Making out with someone else when you are engaged is also okay.
11. Name your child Renesme and you won’t regret it.
12. Refuse to have any friends at school because they aren’t good enough for you anyway.
13. Killing yourself is okay, as long as it\\\\\\\’s in the name of love.
14. Date Edward Cullen. And then you too can marry him and have a crazy half-vampire kid that doesn\\\\\\\’t exist.
15. Vampires produce semen as well as venom
16. The name of the books are nothing to do with the contents.
17. Twilight sucks even the actors of the shit (however somehow box office hit) movie thinks so too. and i would act in a shit movie as well if i got paid 12 million dollars so i dont blame them.

reference to pst about jacob being a peadopile. There is reasons human reasons about why people are attracted to younger people. Pick up a psychology book look for aguy called Freud and read about the Oedipus complex.

Hhahahahahahah. Absolutely hilarious and soooo true.

its funny cause clearly all the characters in the book have issues and are EXTREMELY LAME there all retarded. And edward is such a stalker omg thats not romantics thats something you should file a law suit over TWILIGHT SUCKS

I hate twilight becuase it’s predictable and such a clche’. LIke no one has ever read a tragic love story containing “I love you, if you leave me I will die.” And then he leaves and she almost dies and guess what – he saves her. Wow, not predictable at all.

This reasons are so stupid and uncorrect. The girl (people) who wrote this reasons seems to not understend at all twilight Saga. The only reason Bella has not future like they said, is because her future is Edward, and the only future she will have is with Edward because he is the love of her life – AND THAT’S WAY EVERYBODY LIKE IT – BECAUSE BELLA’S LIFE IS PERFECT WITH EDWARD. AND THE BEST FUTURE FOT HER IS – EDWARD.

By the way, “Edward cant read Bella’s mind because she dont have one” – One more reason to say that the people who wrote this are so stupid. EVERYBODY has a mind, and if those people was trying to be funny by writing this – they so NOT.

“It’s predictable, and childish.” – You are sure you have been reading Harry Potter? not seems like that, sorry.

Vampires are displayed in this book just like other normal people, they are not like in other vampire storys – thats why it is original and interesting. Twilight dont need TOO MUCH animation help, it’s interesting without that too. (What i cant say about Harry Potter).

“Bella Swan means beautiful swan, which is horribly cheesy.” – What can i say? Why do you think the most perfect guy fall in love with her? JEALOUS.

“The only reason I kept reading was to see if Bella could redeem herself by getting over him.” – You are sure it’s the reason ? so then you readed “Eclipse”, and “Breaking Dawn”. Bella was trying to get over him only in “New Moon” and not in the other books, that Stephenie wrote later.

“Do any guys actually like Twilight?” – Most of the guy’s dont like Twilight because they cant have the personality of Edward, and that’s what gils want them to have.

“There is too much face touching.” – AND WE LIKE IT.

“People think Meyer is the best writer ever.” – Here is a good reason why people should read read this book, and not a reason why they shouldnt.

“People say that Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Guess what? WRONG.” – that’s not a reason too, only your point of view. GET OVER IT, there is too much people who like Twilight, no matter that you will say.

“The book was so bad we wrote 95 reasons why we hate it.” – The book was so good that you tried to find 95 stupid and uncorrect reasons, you are just angry that its a so good book – you spend so many time on it to find mistakes, and you hate this book – if you didnt like the book, you woldent spend so much time on it – YOU ARE JUST SO IDIOTS THAT ITS FUNNY

So get over it. Really, if you dont like it (OR IF YOU HATE IT) stop spending so much time on it.
Concentrate yourself on Harry Potter that is “so good” like you are saying.

I meant to say that i think 61,62,63 ARENT real.

This is freakin awesome and
to person named fail
umm Jasper is quite a common name especially for dogs xD
and cats
and rabbits.

Twilight ruined the reputation of vampires.
D:<
it should BURN.
I am really fed up of hearing about it and people going “Edward Cullen should totally be real!” uhh..no
Yeah the names are quite common lol
If she had to make it with vampires
A) no sparkles
B)they all like are evil and are out to kill everyone and be creepy
C)the werewolves and them like properly fight all the time
D)they don’t like people
E)they are there to kill werewolves/be terrorists/suck blood not fall in love, get back to work D:<
F)Did the author know anything about vampires when she wrote this or did she think it would go well with the story or what?!

conclusion: This list is awesome and Twilight is a disgrace.

Think of how lame it was that a Twilight-lover read 95 reasons why a Twilight-hater dislikes it.

“YOU ARE JUST SO IDIOTS THAT ITS FUNNY”

that made me laugh so hard I think I almost coughed up a lung. Everything that “Twilight-Fun” said. omg. LMFAO!!

“Most of the guy’s dont like Twilight because they cant have the personality of Edward, and that’s what gils want them to have” Really? REALLY? I mean, is this girl for real?

“The book was so good that you tried to find 95 stupid and uncorrect reasons, you are just angry that its a so good book – you spend so many time on it to find mistakes”
because like this, it is HILARIOUS to find mistakes in writings by people who think they know everything.

Sarah Rebecca, you were right. Almost all Twilight-Lovers have horrible grammar xDD

To I.Hate.Twilight.

Too much effort to read reasons and posts so just read last couple. Think how lame it is that you read the 95 reasons, mocked someone else for reading them and are now being mocked yourself.

SHAME!

Just thought id say, i think the book was ok but there is no need for that kind of criticism so maybe everyone on here should grow up. Especially the sados that comment on other peoples comments as if their waiting their for them. *cough* YOU!

dear JJ Twilight Freak,
look if you hate the list, the is only one thing to do. GET UP AND WALK AWAY. Your not a loser, just walk away if youd hate it. PLZ.

Percy Jackson? I’ve read all four books. It’s totally awesom. I love greek mythology. And BTW people, just because someone likes Twilight dosn’t mean you guys should give thme hell about it. Its probably a good thing that taste differs otherwise we’ll all be losers.

I hate Twilight very much and love this list! To people who hate Twilight, try Moonlight- there’s violence, it doesn’t revolve around one person, it is sad and romantic at times and the female and male main character aren’t googoogaga oer eachother! Just for the heck of saying it: I burn Twilight books!

No offense to Twilight lovers but you are INSANLY defensive. Please it’s just a book, let Stephanie Meyer defend herself.

But to the people who are obsessed with the book: Get a life! God! Why does your life revolve around a fictional book! Please!

What were you thinking Meyer! Sparkly vampires. . .

If you actually go back tp 1856 theres a book published in Italy exactly the same plot but diffrent names and locations. Isn\’t that so unexpected. =)

I thik You’r right. Who the hell does meyer thinks she is coming up with this kind of “Fecal Matter” and going against the whole concept of vampires. I mean to say that one or a special kind of vampire can walk on daylight is one thing, but no lets make’em sparkle WTf is wrong with you woman.

this was the most pointless piece of s**t i’ve ever seen.
Not only was it biased, but it was extremely reptitve and moreover WRONG!!

omg!my world is complete.people actully hating on twighlight yes!ive never read the book and never will it trash i would buy it to burn it

I hate everyone who hates Twilight. It’s fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also if it where not for Sthephanie Meyer I’d be stuck reading boring books like Harry Potter. And twilight is a whole darn better than Harry Potter. Not to be mean to J.K.Rowling but it’s the turth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those reasons are stupid to hate twilight even the fangirl one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you people have a better website to be on!!! Do somthing ulse, kiss a girl. Sleep on the tolit. Scream!!!!!!!!!!! Get constupated .
By the way I really don’t how I got here but I bored. Hey I was this wondering if anyone of you have a heart to get of this website and just do something eles. And I’ll be on for a bit. So please talk to me. call me bored beacase I’am bored. By the way what is this website?

I couldnt agree more

” The books aren’t well written, just because every other word is a fancy adjective doesn’t make it good writing.”

aha that is so true, it reminds me of my friend

haha
and straight men dont sparkle
that was really funny

i tried to read 60 pages of it, while driving to nevada. I tried to like it. everyone else did.
but i didnt.

It think that’s just down right disrespectful. So you didn’t enjoy the book, some people did, including me, so just get off Stephenie’s back. I’d like to see you try and write a novel as brilliant as hers. The evidence’ll be the paycheck, dear.

lawlz. i died laughing reading this. im going to print it for my friends xD
twilight sucked ass and the movie was even worse. honestly, harry potter is waaaaaay better. Dude, i had to say this- Twilight fun? What you said before made me fall over laughing:
“Do any guys actually like Twilight?” – Most of the guy’s dont like Twilight because they cant have the personality of Edward, and that’s what gils want them to have.
PFFFFFFTTT! yea RIIIIIGHT!!!! okaii, so the guys that dont read twilight want to stalk theircrushes that they fell in love with in less than a month? umm….no. Edward is a perverted stalker who is conviniently a pedophile also.
and the person who wrote this was soooo right about the fangirls of twilight having no proper grammar. they all make up random words that are inproper or dont exist -snorts- i, for one, hate improper grammar. i am a writer myself, so it irks me
i cant believe how many people (girls with no lives….) obsess over this! its like….Edward is FICTIONAL, you cannot marry him, you cannot have his freakish not-so-sparkly baby, and live happily ever after for eternity as a vampire! get OVER yourselves!
also, please tell m how a twilight FAN stumbles upon a list of 95 resons why twilight SUCKED?!?! really, they have no lives. i hate flamers- they look for things to criticze just for the sake of doing it. they say we have no lives? if we dont then….it must be horrible for them.
anyways, you are a true master mind (straight men dont sparkle…teehee) i agree 100%. nice work

p.s……twilight sucks xD

Well if anyone bored.

Just leave… but frist please, please, please tell me!!! I’ll be on for about… til 2:20

Remeber I’ll be bored!

Well what our you wanting for talk to me about Twilight!

I want get mad!

Um.. all i have to say is that these reasons are NOT true! everyone has their own opinions and some of these reasons cant even be called reasons! one reason you stated was that there was too much face touching, well if you dont like romance then dont read it. also, bella talks about edward 24/7- so? if your in love, or if anyone falls in love then they would talk about them 24/7. you obviously dont know what real love is about. did you even read the book? because i dont agree with you. thats my opinion.
P.S – dont say the book has a terrible plot because at least she knows how to write a book, a CONVINCING ONE.

If anyone didn’t like his reasons, read this http://bookstove.com/fantasy/why-i-hate-twilight/ it explains everything.

I read Twilight and then i stopped. One it’s a shallow unorginal plot. Yay yet another vampire story because we haven’t read those before! But no she then decides to put a feud between vampires and werewolves. How orginal.

On one of them (i can’t remember which my friends read this crap) it prattles on about Bella being depressed without Edward for the first half of the bloody book. Then lets commit suicide because he’s not around. (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend?)

I mean even anime fans don’t cry themselves to sleep at night because Sasuke or Lelouch aren’t real. (And that’s saying something if you’re more crazy than a Sasuke fan girl!)

Bottom line: Read a real vampire story. Read Anne Rice! Or atleast a story with a plot and actual (believable) characters.

(I’m ashamed to say ALL my friends read and loved this stuff)

I HATE U, U HAD NO RIGHT TO MAKE THIS!!! IF U HATED IT SO MUCH, THEN Y DID U CONTINUE TO READ THE SERIES!?!? ALL U WANT IS SOME ATTENION!!! THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GET IT! I AM NOT INSANE, AND USING INPROPER CAPITALAZTION IS SHORTER WAY OF WRITING NOWA DAYS! US,TWILIGHT FANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOVE WHAT WE WANT , U R A RUDE STUCK UP PERSON , GET A LIFE AND STOP MAKING STUPID LITTLE ESSAYS ABOUT AWESOME BOOKS UR JELOUS OF, GROW UP!!

——-

I am so sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh at this comment. Talk about hypocrisy. You claim not to be insane despite using all capitals, but just because you claim not to be proves nothing. I could say I’m not a girl, but I think anyone who looked between my legs could tell differently. It is easier to take the side of someone not freaking out against an opinion such as you, because it shows a sense of clarity in their own logic and reasoning as you clearly lack. You yell at the person posting this because you say they have no right, but if you have a write to like something, they have every right to disagree. So what if I said you have no right to post what you just said? I think you’d disagree with me immensely. It’s called freedom of speech hon. You’re right, Twilight fans have the right to love what they want as anyone does, just as anyone else has the right to hate what they want. The door swings both ways. As you put it, you can “get a life” and stop wasting your time on things you know you won’t agree with. If you are a die hard Twilight fan, you know you are going to get irritated by reading something titled “Why I Hate Twilight.” No jealousy involved, but a simple matter of stating an opinion. As for why they kept reading, check number 30: “We read the entire series just to laugh at the stupidity of it. ” I think that clarifies it. If you hate this list so much…why would you keep reading it?

Oh, and if you want people to take you seriously. Stop being insane or lazy, which ever is behind the excessive use of capital letters, so that people won’t automatically assume you to be a close minded Twilight fan. Though we may write or verbalize our contempt for the book, we respect that you have every right to love it. You don’t see this person going to pro-Twilight fan sites and bashing all the Twilighters out there. Those who do go and do that are just as close minded as you are, but it seems there are far less of those insane anti-Twilighters than there are insane pro-Twilighters. In addition to this advice, work on proper syntax and grammar and maybe we might not consider you some Edward obsessed teenager who conforms to the desire of traits romanticized in something as Twilight rather than using your own mind to realize what you really want in life outside of a fictional vampire of perfection.

Have a nice day.

Ha you call meyer repetitive. How many times do you have to mention you don’t like sparkles. This is just about the most ridiculous list i have read. You could have summed up your opinions in maximum twenty points. I know its your opinion, but it kind of gets pathetic towards the end and it really shows how cynical you are. Stop taking things to seriously. Chill out. Breathe. Be happy.

ok i have read the twilight saga. and i loved it but i still lmao when i read this because if u look at it in a certian way any way. i agree that some fans go overbored with it and they need 2 chill. in my opinion they r some of the best books i have read much better than The Hobbit u i hate that book read the whole book and cant rember anything about it. every 1 has there opinion and every 1 has a right 2 like and hate what the want 2. but i dont think it is right 2 put a bunch of trash about a book just because u didnt like it and yes i do know 2 guys that like twilight well 1 of them is gay in mine and my friends opinion. anyway. these books r not 4 every1 and niether r ur precious harry potter even though i like harry potter too. and 4 stephiene meyer messing up vampires i think that it makes the story unique. because if it is just another stupid ordinary vampire story i would probavally hate it.
