Lordy, am I the ONLY one on my flist and the internets in general who was so blah on Twilight that I actually didn't even bother finishing the first book even though I had all three on my computer waiting to read and plenty of time to finish them? Seriously, am I the only one who does NOT GET THE SQUEE over these novels? Boring, one-dimensional characters, onion-slice thin plot, lackluster dialogue, plodding prose.

Just me? Really?

Not the only one. Every time I see a Twilight post on ONTD, I scroll past it. Seems really silly to me, and I like vamps.

WORST. BOOKS. EVER. Ever.

With that being said, I have a complete morbid fascination. Powered by so much fiery loathing it cannot even be captured in words. I HATE THEM SO MUCH. WHY ARE THEY SO POPULAR. WHYYY. Etc., etc.

Oh.. they are not so bad.... they are perfect for when you want to read all about Mary Sue and her supernatural friends who love her and protect her no matter what!!!!! ;)

I read them because a friend of mine loves them, but they are severely lacking. Also upsets me because I could probably write something better if I got off my ass and tried!

Does blind hatred count? Because that's how I feel about them.

Hahahaaa, I haven't read them and have no interest in reading them. I've seen hilarious excerpts posted on someone's LJ, though... I forget whose. I'm not sure what the whole thing about vampires is. They suck your blood. LIKE TICKS AND MOSQUITOES. Ticks and mosquitoes are gross and annoying, ergo, so are vampires.

Haven't read them. Are they the ones whose author is a Mormon and are written for teenagers?

I've never read them and don't intend to. So probably not the only one, I just have never been tempted. There's very few vampire novels I read - Sookie Stackhouse from Charlene Harris might be the only one.

I don't know. I haven't read them yet, but my daughter is absolutely obssessed with them. She hooked my sister-in-law on the books, too, and they're both now totally nuts over all things Twilight. Taylor's been begging me to read them so I'm sure I'll finally get through them over the summer. I'll let you know my thoughts then.

I like my sexual tension fine and dandy. But I hated this. I read about 85% and my brain literally died.

I have never heard of the book until I saw the trailer for the movie based on the book. I'm only interested in watching it because Kristen Stewart is in it. Otherwise, meh.

I'd never heard of 'Twilight' until I saw that they were making a movie of it. And I still don't know what it's about.
