Q: What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?
The whole Twilight series. I've read them all and don't get what the hype was about. Sorry to all the fans.
I liked the first three just fine, though they've worn out their welcome on my shelves over the years. But Breaking Dawn...ech!

I think I *get* it, there's a way of plotting that makes a reader think more is coming, and I think the series has that. I don't like them, though. The only reason I finished the series is because a friend raved so much they were the only books I took on a long vacation free from internet :(

I liked Twilight while I was reading it, but I was so disappointed by the ending of 4th book that it kind of soured me on the series, so I get it. :D Old Follower. My FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Friday! :D
ReplyDeleteI actually really liked the first three.... but then book 4 REALLY killed it for me
ReplyDeleteand don't even get me started on the movies! XP
Thanks for stopping by!
OK, so if this question was asked during the time I read this series I probably would have said you were CRAZY. But now when I look back I have to say they were awful. Not totally, Bella was just awful. The glittering vampires is laughable and that ending in Breaking Dawn was disappointing.

I just never could get in the Twilight books. They seemed long, and dragging.

I'm completely with Cimmaron! When I read them I was like "THESE ARE THE BEST BOOKS EVER!" But now I just can't help but feel a little disenchanted with the whole thing! The forth book and the movies killed it for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My FF!
Happy Friday!
Twilight is on my list! I wanted to *itch slap bella through the whole series.

Deletethis why I hate this weeks question, too much negative, as this is my all time favorite books, the ONLY books I had read at least 8 times, and not ashamed of it. Ohwell, too bad you din't like it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
I liked the first three books in the series & then my best friend ruined the last one and I haven't read it! I mean it sounds like a dissapointing ending to an okay series!

Ah yes Twilight. I think this is the sort of series whether you like it or you don't. You wouldn't be the only one who felt this way.

I liked the first three to a point...The writing wasn't fab, but it was entertaining enough to keep me entertained.
ReplyDeleteThe last one - nope! It ruined the series for me completely.
I definitely agree :D

I didn't think the first Twilight book was too bad, but the second was so mind-numbingly awful that I never ended up finishing the series. I definitely agree it doesn't live up to the hype (but with the hype that surrounds Twilight, very few works would be able to live up to it).

I've seen Twilight on so many post today! I am not huge fan of Twilight, but I don't hate them. I can definitely see why people were so caught up in it. One thing I love about Twilight, is that it brought a lot of attention to YA literature!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and Happy Friday!! I am a new follower :)
I chose the twilight series too, but I'd love to hear exactly what you didn't like about the series. My main problem with them is that Bella is just about the WORST female role model ever... I would hate to have my daughter try to model herself after Bella! Also... Renesme? Really? -_-
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
