Book Meme: Day 5

Day 05 - A book or series you hate


The Twilight Saga

I hate, hate HATE this series. The writing is crap. It is so filled with plot holes you could drive a mack truck through them. Most of the characters are crap. It supports stalking, spouse abuse, kidnapping and near suicide.

But I'm reading/watching it. Why? Without reading/watching, books and movies respectively, I cannot have an opinion. You can diss the series until you are blue in the face but unless you have read the books or watched the movies your opinion doesn't count.

This is how much I hate the series... my friend Lexi read them before I did to see what all the hype was about. Her opinion is one I still agree with today, "It's sad when a series is written in first person POV and you could care less if that person dies."

In fact, the series would have been better if Bella had died. Then Edward and Jacob could have gotten together and all would have been right in the world.

I've never read the books. And I hate the movies (but Im ashamed to admit that I found Eclipse surprisingly enjoyable) I've concluded that Jacob is my favorite character and there is just something undeniable about Edward/Jacob that draws me in!!
