I don't think Stephenie Meyer is a bad author overall, I just think the hype over Twilight is way more than the books (and movie) deserved. And Breaking Dawn <i>was</i> a complete failure. <br /><br />On another note, thanks for becoming a follower of my blog, <a href="http://themindfulmusingsbookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Mindful Musings Book Blog</a>.

The conclusion is ultimately hollow, and the ending doesn't make much sense."<br /><br />This is why I hated New Moon and Breaking Dawn. I loved Twilight and Eclipse was a major improvement over New Moon but the ending? WTF?! Seriously.<br /><br />But I have to thank that series. It got me motivated to read again. I haven't stopped since I read Twilight.<br /><br />Great topic!Jess (The Cozy Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09952470536106390326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-57984292531637193022009-08-24T14:02:12.562-07:002009-08-24T14:02:12.562-07:00Great post!

I hope you don't mind. :)<br /><br />http://abookloversdiary.blogspot.com/2009/08/awards-lemonade-lets-be-friends-super.htmlJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013592464881717371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-14227574339001608962009-08-24T06:05:49.550-07:002009-08-24T06:05:49.550-07:00While I love Twilight I'm always blown away by...While I love Twilight I'm always blown away by those Twilighters that can't take any Twilight criticism.<br /><br />The way I look at it: as with all books - some ya love and some ya don't. We are all entitled to our likes and dislikes. <br /><br />As for Wuthering Heights. I had been meaning to read it for years. After reading the many references to Wuthering Heights in the Twilight series I picked it up. I was so glad I did. It's an AMAZING book and I now consider it one of my favorites. I think it's cool when something in pop culture brings attention to a classic.<br /><br />But I feel ya doll. ;)Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-53551439946598036062009-08-24T03:47:20.132-07:002009-08-24T03:47:20.132-07:00Good on you for your honesty.
People can be reall...Good on you for your honesty.<br /><br />People can be really weird about others trashing books they've enjoyed. You see it in Amazon comments all the time.<br /><br />What puts me off Twilight (besides that there are <a href="http://chewingaleaf.blogspot.com/2008/08/1001-books.html" rel="nofollow">at least 1000 other books</a> I'll rather read) is that a friend mentioned that women/girls are stereotypically depicted as secondary to men, and that the writing is generally poor. That does it for me.<br /><br />I'm also with you about the whole circus that follows these things. Nuts.<br />ONE aspect I will concede is that if it gets more young people reading, it ain't all totally bad. ;)Monhttp://chewingaleaf.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
