I'm thinking about reading the twilight series, but I've heard some bad things about it. Could someone explain the positives of the books and explain the negatives people bring up. I'm confused!

Positives: Obviously an interesting book that captures imagination. If you are into romance, it's good. Fairly original plot line.
Negatives: Very little character development. Plot a bit far-fetched in places. Some worrying aspects ( some have argued Jacob is a paedo- relating to Renessme (can't spell it, sorry)- and Edward is a bit abusive).

Obviously, the decision is yours. I don't like Twilight as much as others on this spot- it's my 'rainy day read'- but it's your choice. I'd take these points into consideration and judge it from that. Borrow a copy from a library if you aren't sure- it's better than spending your own money.

The thing about these books, is that they aren't for a person who wants some classic piece of literature. If you're looking for something that's crazy well-written, and that uses a lot of different writing techniques, and fancy language, these books probably aren't for you. But if you just want something that's fun to read, and that makes you feel all dreamy and excited, and that makes you really care about your characters, then you might like these books. It really captures your imagination and makes you want to experience these things. It's not some epic tale, and it's not written with amazing diction, but it's a great story. and it's worth taking a look at i would say. i didn't think i would care about these books. a girl falling in love with a vampire didn't sound appealing to me at all. but then i read it, and i couldn't put it down, and it was honestly an incredible feeling i've never had about a book before. i was never one to be that kind of girl to love what everyone else does. but the books weren't as popular when i read them because the movie wasn't out. a lot of the reason you probably heard bad things are because a lot of people are naturally turned off by things that a lot of people love. and it was written by a normal woman who was a living a normal life and had a dream, so it's not a classic piece of literature, and some people have a serious problem with that. but if you are interested in taking a look, i would absolutely recommend it. some people love it, some only like it, and some people hate it with a burning passion. it all depends on you and how you respond to it.

okay i have read all the twilight series and i loved them all ...twilight:its a pretty good book ..but i thought it was just to much drama and not enough action.
new moon:i didnt really like ,i loved the movie,but the book just didnt grab my attention...i like reading more about the cullens and when they left i just didnt enjoy the book that much but if u like the wolf pack better then u may like it the best.
Eclipse:i loved the best book...had lots of action and drama ...very suspenful i would read a 100 pages a night just to figure out what would happen. i suggest eclipse for anyone.
lastly breaking dawn:it was very good but weird. it just changed out of the way. unlike the rest of the books. sometimes i would reread a paragraph and think WOW i didnt expect that
but i dont have any big negatives about the books i hope u read them!!!!

What Negitives!! The only thing i here is that twilight is for girls and all that crap which is RETARTED! The book has action, adventure, drama, and love. Everything that ppl wants all together! So i Say you should read it NO i postive you should read it!!

well i would say there are not negetives what so ever!!. The writing is just so good, and the ideas are fantastic.
but people hate it usually because they dont like the style of the writing saying that stephanie cant write!! which is totally untrue,she is an excellent writer. others just dont like the romance or for some people its about the twi-hard fans hatred towards everyone else who dislikes the books:) but you shoudnt lsiten to them,read them and make your own mind up.

I love it!!!You should read them!!!!!And there are noooo negatives towards the series!
