There are so many people who think that a werewolf would make a great partner I'm not someone who has any interest in forming relationships, but I'm not going to pass up on a free meal, especially one that has deluded itself.
You should see the looks on their faces when they find out the truth. Alex I think people are simply overreacting. They still act like blood thirsty creatures, so everyone shut up about this part. RbbieFrah scroll down to see my advice to" Dan veggie vampire slayer " Perhaps The Twilight Series is like a bottle containing the wine of Love. It is the power and flavor of the wine in the bottle that matters not the type of bottle. Perhaps readers who love Twilight are so happy feeling the strong currents of Love flowing from the the story that when they look at the back ground events that make that flow possible they see no fault - just beauty- a masterpiece.
I base this on the oft repeated adage of all spiritual teachers that If you want to see something clearly you must look at it with love. That kind of blindness is the height of seeing. Nay, clear and penetrating is the eye of love. Therefore It sees no fault … When love has purged your sight then would you see nothing unworthy of your love. Only a love shorn faulty eye is ever busy finding faults.
I now understand the type of sensation you find joy in and now I can enjoy and appreciate it as well. BUT I can also appreciate the uplifting intoxicating currents of love that appear in twilight. I can enjoy both. I just reset my mind for terror fight or flight instead of the moving uplifting tale of true love triumphing.
You will gain nothing by cutting down Twilight. Twilight has a different emotional current in it which includes up lift and not just the primal fight or flight response that we get when we suddenly come face to face with a rattle snake.
There are a number of reasons she HAD to use vampires they were once human , it is symbolic of overcoming ones beastly tendencies to claim ones noble birth right as a Child of God.
This such so universal struggle that all humans are engaged in and vampire wanting to win God's grace was the best fit. This is also a universal theme. Because we have to find the strength to fight inner monsters of Lust, anger, greed and ego on the battle field of our own mind. Therefore the truly deadly vampire represent these inner devils that want to suck out positive energy and turn us into slaves of sin. In real life this is a feirce struggle andwe have to be warroirs to win it. For this we need to appreciate and respect just how deadly and powerful these enemies are.
So again There is no better icon than vampires. You will gain nothing by negative comments about the good vampire.
Just dont waste time hating the light and hurting the hearts of those who love the light. Just enlighten lovers of the light that fear of darkness is essential if they are to avoid becoming victims of darkness. Yeah that's about it. Does that answer your question? All of these Twilight haters are tryna rip off your dick. Not really an answer but yeahhh Trinity Van Well it is a free conturty, but yes I loved the book.
But I also love romance it gets my heart pumping some people just dont it is part of who they are. Some people just have different taste in books.
That's what makes us all different. Tracy To answer your question, everyone has their own opinions. Personally I am a big fan of twilight.
What I Like about it is that it doesn't follow the vampire stereotypes because let's face it, it gets repetitive over time. Twilight changed this. For those of you who complained that vampires were supposed to be big scary monsters, clearly this book is not your cup of tea, however the Volturi is kinda like that really scary. Gigi Vector just love it I think its the most perfect romantic vampire story at ever.
Kirsi "Why do people hate this book so much? Sahil Chourikar Probably the way vampires are portrayed may trigger people. Also the story may not sound as convincing as Harry Potter or Percy Jackson does. Erin Pradeep Can everyone calm down here?!! I'm reading all the answers to the question and it's very confusing. Let's just get it straight: Some people hate it. Some people love it. Everyone has their own opinions!
Tell me, if you were brought into a supernatural world and also dated someone in that world and then suddenly both of those are gone, are you not going to be upset? Are you not gunna be depressed about the fact that you got a taste of a world you probably felt you could fit better into and then had that ripped away. Which in my opinion is Bella. Ketutar Jensen People hate it mostly because of the fans. In itself it's just a book, not a very good one, but not the worst I've read either. Sure there are some really questionable themes and events, but a lot of books do.
No, it's mostly a counterreaction to the reverence some people treat it with. People are obsessed by it, pour praise over it, worship it, become aggressive and hostile if someone expresses any negative opinions - to the extend of "they shouldn't even be allowed to". This is very provocative, and people respond with an equal but opposite force.
Also, "hate" is probably not the right word here. Most people will say they don't like the book, nor the fan hysteria. Also, most of the people who don't like it, also explain why they don't like it. You might want to contain your reaction to their dislike of something you love to hear why they don't like it, and remember that we don't like the same things and it's totally fine. Jocelyn White I can say as a vampire that this book was so historically inaccurate. We just drink human blood, and no one questions that, end of story.
The werewolves are way too hot, and in real life they just shed and overbreed. Edward is dead. See Min Lim Chill. A ton of people hate many books. Brent Ryan If you dislike the book, why are you here at Goodreads and on its profile page…? Ironically, for the overly shallow, it is popular to "hate" what is popular, think do I. Of course, there probably are people who dislike the story, the the novel or movie. Yet they probably refuse to even visit the parent to this page. Obviously, the vast majority of readers and movie-goers like the movie, myself included; Or they would have avoided making four sequels.
That is really why it is so popular to hate on Twilight. The only good response is pray for the Goddess to help them see how negative they are, and that there are better paths. Grateful for you sharing your time and Force, am I. May you ask the Goddess to eternally alight your self-determined path. Mary Ann I don't really know I really love this book and I can't find a reason to hate it.
You understand me? Stephanie Meyer writes good as a fridge full of chocolates and foods. Soumya Why Twilight is stupid: 1. The vampires in Twilight sparkle in the sun. They're vegetarian 3. Bella whines like a puppy 4. Edward Cullen is perfect, which isn't even possible, by the way.
Bella swoons about him for four books and makes not a single mention of his character. We all know how much she loves him, but she will still whine about it.
Edward Cullen is an overprotective, sparking, stupid saint. Bella is a puppy. I don't want to offend fans or the author no offence meant You can read my reviews for elaboration I can't make out Edward's character. Bella tried to kill herself because of Edward. This isn't a relationship. But honestly, why do you even care? You like the book, so like it! Why do you care about others' opinions? We hate it because Bella is a puppy and Edward is a vampiric saint--which isn't possible.
But it's just me and my views. You don't think Bella is a puppy, fine. We can have freedom of opinion. Will it stop you? View all 7 comments.
Tabitha McLean This story great, don't hate just because you aren't interested. Keep the bad opinions to yourself. Amy First of all, ppl hate this book because Bella is such a "weak" character, which, yes, she is, but I don't have a problem with it. I thought the book was cute. Edward looked mean, angry, and scary on the outside, but in the inside he was just a little sweetie pie yeah I said that! I have to admit, it is a tiny bit creepy that Edward would follow her around every single day, but no one ever pays attention to the REASON.
My rating is 4 stars, I liked it. For those of you out there that didn't like it, fine, but don't hate on a book that plenty of other people like. BTW, Another reason may be because of the movie. Hate the movie, LOVE the books. Kam Because Edward is a stalker who conveiniently stalks a girl who is dumb enough to be turned on by this. Bella has nothing that makes her intresting exept for Edward and go's completely phsycotic with in ten seconds of him being gone.
Metalorpe well the main reason I didn't like it is because I was like Justice They hate the book cause there so dumb i no that my hole middle and high school loves it so yeah. Qliver well Elias your crazy wrong twilight is a really good book you are just too incapable to understand good literacy. Oh, and a little F. I you spelt fairies wrong. That screams pedophillia 14 The necrophilia in the book is strong 15 Jacob is so pushy 18 Leah was the most developed character out of all the characters in Twilight combined and that says a lot about Meyer's ability to write good characters 19 Bella abandons her "friends" the moment she became Edward's gf 20 Blonde bad stereotype: Rosalie 21 Bella is blanker than a piece of paper 22 Meyer just threw in random words from a dictionary into the books 23 Bella has strong "I'm not like other girls!
I'm special :D" energy 24 This is supposed to be a forbidden romance but the only forbidden thing that Meyers wrote in the series is a lack of character development and plot and finally 25 The whole romance happened because Edward likes the smell of Bella's blood and can't read her mind and Bella thinks he's hot hide spoiler ].
Pedestrian Friendly because it's terrible Jessica Litchfield Because not everyone feels the same way about one thing. Seth Davis I understand when people hate Bella and some don't realy understand the book I don't realy like Bella eather but It is a good book and just respect other peoples opinion. But seorisly what is with this very rude question"Why do people hate this book so much?
They should't even be allowed to. But I like this book. I agree the movies suck. Florence why does everyone hate Bella so much? S you can't read a vampire romance and expect gore trust me I'm a horror movie fan but I wasn't thick enough to expect a horror style from this.
Luna Rose That would be like saying, "You're not allowed to dislike anybody you've met in your whole life. Stephen King didn't like it, so you're basically insulting him, and he's is an incredible writer. Victoria Lark Because of opinions, some books just aren't the best, some are better, it is a matter of opinion.
Shannon Ok so people are alowed to have their opiniuons but here are mine : 1. Bella is very Her personality is such a mary-sue 2.
Edward is a stalering dude who 'sparkled' 3. Vampires shouldnt sparkle' 4. Very anti feminism wich isnt good, bella relys on a man for everything and blushes at everyone. Marco It may have something to do with Edward watching her sleep. Or him stalking her. Liisa I don't know , but I love this book. TeamEdwardIsCatching Twilight is not something to hate. It is my favorite book EVER and people who hate it shouldn't be allowed to live.
Emery Parish This book is awesome, and I own like 6 copies of it. Although this may be true, I do think people should be able to have their own opinions on it. Also, people, I think this person wasn't serious when they said this. They were joking, so don't take it so personally! She is a great author, and worked really hard on these books. Samantha I cant speak for other people, but I personally hate for many reasons- mostly because I disliked the characters, and feel like the series just completely messed up vampires.
I've always been kind of a vampire addict since I was kid, so of course, I'm pretty serious about people getting the lore spot on- Twilight didn't do that. Vampires are supposed to be cool, blood-thirsty, and terrifying! And what did twilight give me? Sparkles and a boring, vanilla protagonist with absolutely no depth. But at the same time, I get why some people might me into it, even if I personally found it disappointing.
I don't know why, it was just a little Julia I know, most of the boys in my class will go "Eww, that book is gay" and stuff like that Miracle Grogan Wow but really it makes then seem like monsters can change so vampires don't have to drink HUMAN blood they can drink animal blood the movie and book are so ramantic so Haters stop if you are a hater comment below.
Romaki It's the pendulum effect. Lots of people love it because of the movie's popularity, so lots of people hate it because of the attention it got. Ariana Everdeen I'm pretty sure you mean " Why do people hate this book so much?
They shouldn't even be allowed to! Well, Twilight's a good book. People hate it because they have opinions affected by things that happened to them, or other books they've read. Please respect them for that. I've never much liked people who go out of their way to announce how bad something is, but I also don't like people who go out of their way to shut those other people down.
Pearl We are all allowed to have our own opinions like me i love the way that vampires and humans are different and yes the are bloodthirsty but they can control their thirst and not kill people. Jillian They shouldn't be allowed to do what? Hate it? Well, we can all have an opinion about this book! Just because I hate it doesn't make me a bad person.
We all have perfectly good reasons for hating it or liking it. So please be mature and do not tell me what I can and can't think. Lizzie Walje I wholeheartedly agree. People who don't revere this book don't deserve rights. Kanan Jarrus People who hate the books are assholes it best to just ignore them!
ShelfIndulgence Woah, wait a sec. What do you mean by "shouldn't even be allowed to"? People are entitled to their own opinions, you know. So to answer your question, Edward and Bella have a really toxic relationship.
Bella comes across as needy and whiny not to mention how she spends months contemplating self-harm after Edward leaves her. Edward is just creepy- take the way he sneaks into Bella's room to supposedly 'watch her sleep'.
Plus, he's way too old for her. And the fact that he's a vampire and he's endangering her life just by being close to her doesn't even dissuade her from following him around like a lost puppy. The book on the whole was pretty well-written. It was just the portrayal of Edward and Bella's relationship that threw me off completely. Anna People are allowed to have their own opinions. Moonbeam We are allowed freedom of speech.
I could not put it down. Exploring the idea of the supernatural unlocked an entire new world for me and inspired my own writing. It truly changed my life.
Over time my obsession died down. I honestly felt like I was alone in my love of Twilight over the years and now I feel silly for thinking so. I am so ready for this to destroy my life again. At this point in my life there are no aspects of my day that are not somehow related to Twilight. I was 14 when I first read it, and I had a lot of undiagnosed anxiety which led me to behave like an adult rather than a child. Bella is this way too. She showed me that it was okay to not relate to the people around me and that there were people who would accept me just as I am.
Bella came to me at a time in my life where I felt so out of place and like nothing special would ever happen to me. It was amazing to have this world I could jump into any time and walk alongside her.
I read the books when I was 20, and for me, that particular part of the story was captivating. I also wish Bella had been a stronger person on her own without attachment to some guy. For me the series is kind of like a guilty pleasure that has sort of lost its sweetness over time.
I think my palate has changed. Anonymous runs the Instagram account Twilightfactsig , which has over 5, followers. When I got bullied at school in junior high, I started chilling in the library and reading.
It made me feel less lonely at school, like I was included in an online family where I made a lot of friends. But her purpose in writing the books was for entertainment and lots of people were entertained, so in that sense she succeeded. I think that the books we read really do become part of who we are. I think Twilight and the fandom it started made me aware of the type of woman I did and did not want to be.
The story helped me form a stronger sense of self, believe it or not. Russell Williams reviewed Twilight in in the Guardian. I was annoyed by so much about the Twilight series when they first came out, yet I was impelled to continue reading them.
I felt reluctant admiration for their insidious appeal. To say I was obsessed with Twilight is a vast understatement. When the DVD came out, I made my parents watch it with me twice in one weekend, all the while telling them it deserved an Oscar.
Their relationship was codependent to the max and was not healthy at all. I can recognize its flaws more clearly now than I did when I was younger. But year-old me is living for the Twilight Renaissance happening right now. I read the books when I was 31 or 32, and my fellow Gen X Twi-hards would laugh about the fact that the youth of today was obsessed with a virginal vampire couple, whereas we were all about books like the Flowers in the Attic series which were—at their core—rooted in literal incest.
It is so much fun to attend Twilight movie premieres and get to meet other fans who love the books and movies as much as we do! The collective sigh of the audience when Taylor Lautner takes his shirt off on screen is always something to look forward to! Stephenie Meyer is so creative with her interpretation of what vampires are like.
She makes Twilight even more interesting because it changes the myth of vampires killing humans, which makes the Cullens even more likable characters. We love how dreamy and gentlemanly the guys in the books are! Team Edward or Team Jacob? For the characters in Twilight , family is the most important thing. Edward, Jacob and Bella all have very deep connections to their families, especially their parents.
We really admire and love that about the story! Because we love Twilight so much, we have been introduced to an awesome new genre!
