Harry Potter dhidi ya Twilight Swali

Should I read Twilight?

I've been thinking about it for a while, but I can't decide whether au not I should go through with it and this seemed like a good place to ask.

The storyline doesn't really appeal to me, but on the other hand this book has had such an impact on people that I feel like I'm missing out somehow kwa not kusoma it, if that makes sense. :/ I want to understand why people upendo it and why people hate it.

Also, I have plenty of free time this winter. So what do wewe guys think? Is it worth kusoma au would it be a waste of time?

Hey, just thought I should let wewe all know that I have decided to read the series. I have actually already started kusoma Twilight. At this early stage I neither upendo nor hate it - I'm trying to stay open-minded and give the book a fair chance. My goal is to understand the impact it has had on pop culture, and (who knows?) maybe even learn to enjoy a new type of fiction. Thank wewe all for your advice - it was really helpful. :)

NO. And yes, I HAVE read all the Twilight books. I never thought that I'll ever regret kusoma a book, but if there are vitabu that I regret reading; they are Twilight and A House of Night. So just don't.

Personally, I wouldn't bother kusoma it. I started the series in fifth grade; kwa the time I was halfway through the first book, I was ready to destroy the inayofuata person who told me how handsome Edward Cullen looked. But that's just my opinion. wewe might really enjoy that sort of literature. A lot of people do; I'm just not one of them. I haven't read the whole saga (again, I got sick of it before I even finished the first installment), so I'm probably not the best judge. So do what you'd like, and remember that wewe don't have to keep kusoma if wewe really don't like it.

(And if wewe haven't read them yet, wewe should also consider the Harry Potter books. Do I realize that I'm a biased fanatic? Of course. Do I care? Not on your life. But again, make your own decision about what to read. I'm no literary expert, so I don't expect wewe to take my opinion as some sort of divine ruling au anything ridiculous like that.)

Thanks for your help. :) Yeah, I don't think I'll like this kind of fiction either; that's what really puts me off. I have read Harry Potter - upendo it!! I might still take your suggestion on board though, and re-read them all again. xD

Firstly, I'm a book lover and I will pick up ANY book and read it - not because I think I'll like it but to critique it. That is the main reason I read Twilight - and even though I did not like it, I went on to read the whole saga and came out of the experience as an avid Twilight hater. The mwandishi sucks. period. I won't go through the whole fiasco of why-twilight-is-doomed-to-hell because I assume you've alredy heard the whole story.

That all said, wewe SHOULD read Twilight. It will give wewe an experience of what it is, help wewe to realize that yes, there are people who write,read and like these stuff and anyways how can wewe how can wewe agree/disagree with what people say about it, criticize it au praise it (though if wewe do, I must say I'd have Lost a whole deal of respect for you) if wewe haven't read it?

Go for it I say -but wewe have been warned!!!!

The mwandishi really isn't that bad. Twilight was horrible, but I actually enjoyed her other book, the Host.

Am I the only Twilight "hater" encouraging wewe to read it?

I actually think wewe should. If wewe end up liking it, good for you. If wewe end up hating it, congratulations, wewe can now form legitimate reasons for disliking it, unlike most other haters on the Internet! Win-win situation either way.

I think for first step wewe should ask someone, who was kusoma those books, did they like it? And if yes, then why? Ask as many possible people before wewe decide read au not. Try to figure out what kind of people read those books, oh well if wewe will start and after saa of reading, its not getting better au not quite interesting, just stop it. And well that will be proof that wewe too good for those vitabu :)

As for my own opinion, believe me, wewe missing nothing, those vitabu are for super sweet, sensitive, hormonal teenagers with lot of fluffy, sparkling things around them every time and everywhere. :) I tried to read this mwaka ago.

Do whatever wewe want.

But fair warning, If wewe plan on sharing your opinions on Twilight (which, for some reason, wewe have) it would be wise to actually read it.
It only plays into the too common "Well I bet wewe haven't even read it" argument. You're the perfect example of that.
After looking through your kura ya maoni majibu and your comments, it just confuses me...
I mean, really, how could wewe possibly know anything about Renesmee, not even watching the sinema can help wewe know anything, considering BD part 2 isn't out yet.


Until wewe read the books, you're only making uneducated opinions. Nothing more, nothing less.
If wewe want zaidi than that, then yes, read the books.

*Doffs hat* Ahh, but wewe would be surprised at my powers of deduction. I am a veritable Sherlock Holmes. xD However, on a zaidi serious note, I am truly very sorry if I have ever alisema anything offensive au out of line about Twilight; it was never my intention to upset people. Thanks for your advice - wewe have a very reasonable approach which I will certainly consider carefully. :)

Read them. Don't listen to what everyone is saying. The vitabu are actually not all that bad. All four of them got really good reviews. Try it out, wewe might like it :) Hell, wewe might even like it over Harry Potter. One tip that'll really help wewe out while kusoma them: don't give up. Those vitabu get draggy as hell (ESPECIALLY New Moon and Breaking Dawn) just keep reading. Shit gets real in the last 200 pages (except Breaking Dawn).

No problem, I actually do go see the sinema and stuff, as it really does help when trying to debat things. If wewe plan on dabating here kusoma Twilight would help that and wewe may find something wewe like in the process.

cunha27 said:
It doesn't sound as if it's the kind of book wewe would enjoy reading. It is however a very maarufu series that seems to incite strong polarised reactions. So I'd say yes, go ahead and read it. It's become part of pop culture so being able to understand the references to it might be helpful. Watching the sinema might be another option if wewe find you're not enjoying kusoma the vitabu as they're reasonably faithful to the books

If wewe have a learning disability that makes kusoma hard for wewe au wewe have a tendency to pick out grammar errors I actually suggest not kusoma the book simply because it isn't well written and it can turn into a struggle to read for some people.

My teacher told me that every book is worth kusoma no matter how bad it is. wewe need to decide whether it is your cup of chai au not and not pick it up because it is the latest fad.

yes I think wewe should read them I like the series, but everybody has diffrent opinions, some people just don't read them cause they think there Marafiki won't like them anymore au they think there too cool to read them, I thought the same thing before I read them, but my mom read them and alisema they were really good so I read them 1 kwa 1 and when I was done I told my Marafiki abought the vitabu (some of them are not twilight fans) and they thought it was ok and there still my Marafiki today. So yes I think wewe should read the books

I would say read them. I mean, if wewe don't like them, fine, but at least wewe can then come on here and give a fair opinion of them, which wewe can't do without having read them.
If wewe like them, great! You've just read a good book, and it may pleasantly surprise you. With me personally, I'm not really a big shabiki of romance novels, but I did really enjoy the Twilight series.
Regardless, wewe could always just read them to see what all the hype is about. I mean, they are quite popular.

But if wewe do read them, I would advise wewe to put aside all biases wewe may have, and ignore what other people say about it, so that wewe can just read the vitabu in an unbiased way, and give them a fair chance. If that makes sense, :)

Mrs-X said:
If wewe watched the sinema and liked them, then you'll definitely upendo kusoma the books. If wewe didn't like the movies, wewe might still upendo kusoma the books.

Being a Twilight and Harry Potter shabiki who's not too crazy about romance (to say the least), I loved kusoma the vitabu and didn't think it was a waste of time at all. Twilight's not only a upendo story, it's about Supernatural creatures and friendship too. It actually made me laugh a couple of times too.

I honestly recommend it to you. At least, try kusoma the first book and if wewe don't like it, wewe can stop but if wewe so, it keeps getting better. When I try to remember what I read in the books, Supernatural creatures are the first thing that comes to my mind so as I alisema before, the whole upendo story between Edward and Bella is the main storyline but there's so much stuff happening around them and so many characters to discover that it becomes very interesting and fun to read.

I really enjoyed the vitabu and I hope wewe will read them and get into the story like I did. It's a saga that made me feel sad when I realised I had finished kusoma it and closed the last book. Please give it a try ;)!

Good answer. When people talk about Twilight they focus so much on Edward and Bella's romance that I think the rest of the story sometimes gets forgotten, so I'm liking your description of it. Great stuff. :D Thank you. I think I might give it a try. :)
