Do you find the twilight saga to be over-rated?

Yes, it's ridiculously overrated >.<. I mean, it's ok... I guess... but seriously, it's way too much. Plus, half of the people who claim to be "fans" of it, only read the book because of the movies, so in truth, it doesn't have nearly as many true fans as people think.

I've read the books...
The story line is so ridiculously retarded its not even funny U_U
can understand to some degree but the saga is linked together making it seem more relaistic even though it is ficton.

i understand completely here, i read the books by reccomendation of a friend who read the books before the film and i found the movie to be a big dissapointment although i did enjoy the James battle scene

Vampires that sparkle in the sunlight are not realistic...

vampires are fables, myths, legends etc etc it wouldn't be suprising if a modern take on an old myth would have been released sooner but the book does incorperate a lot of modern attitudes and beliefs

Yeah, the book was out quite a while before the movie. But it's like, I'm at school one day, and barely anyone even heard of Twilight, and then the next day, boom, I can't go to any of my classes without seeing the book >.<. It reminds me of how in sports someone becomes a fan of something when they win a championship.

not necessarily no. but the linking of the story line like the change from twi-new moon is more realstic than sherlock holmes where he finds himself if different situations altogether with no real link.

true they are myths and fables. vampire was started by valad the impaler known to us as dracula known as a vampire cause he was a tyrant sucking dry the villigers of all they had any who anoyed him had there head cut off and put on a spike. in modern tiems they could be liek the film fright night if any of u have seen that. twlight just seems to romanasise them from what they are in legend near imortal carnivores.

Vampires are supposed to super-awesome and let's say if you do meet a Vampire, you'd treat it seriously.
But Twilight Vampires just ruined it for me.
Honestly, how can you treat a sparkling person seriously?
Sparkles are reserved for Barbie Dolls, Rainbows and random unicorns
but definitely NOT for vampires.
Stephanie Meyers had succeeded in turning tough vampires into sissy fags. =/

I've only read the first one. (I'lll read everything one though)

I believe that this is a very wlell writen book. Comon, the author caught completly the way a teenager girl thinks. It's very accurate.

It is a little lame though, but its still a great portrait...


Yes... I don't like the all sparkle thing, but if you ignore that, the book made vampires even more scary, dark and deaddly.

The all book is about a perfect human trap! They're attractive: Looks, smell, breath, tone. They're strong and they're fast. And some even have special abilities. All together, its because of their ability to blend with us that made the more scary.

if i see a Twilight Vampire coming my way to kill me, I'll feel flatered until she's sucking my blood dry.

If i see an horrible creature of the darkness comming my way, with blood dipping from his mouth, with sharp teeth, I'll feel less like joinning it...
And they're so much easier to kill... I mean... scare of crosses, sun, holly water and garlic?

adding to that the sparkling skin was also used to draw in prey (seen in both book and film) where Bella is drawn in by the diamond tinted skin xO
