Words cannot express how much I hate this series.

Actually I've dedicated a blog to it! Check it out: http://theanti-mainstream.blogspot.com/

Phonograffiti, I have to say I completely agree with you. Stephanie Meyer definitely lacks in the writing skills department. There were so many errors, I had to stop myself from getting a pencil and writing in the corrections myself. I don’t think she could afford an editor. I am honeslty surprised that she has sold so many books. I am guilty of buying all four books of the “Twilight” series. I did that after I had seen the movie. Thinking the books would be way better than the movie. Boy, was I wrong! I am completely shocked at how much better the movie was than the book. All I know is Stepahine Meyer is a crappy writer and I just hope the next three movies don’t suck as bad as her books do.

I have to disagree with Anonymous. Whoever that may be. What is it supposed to mean when you say, “It’s a freaking book!” in relation to spelling and grammatical errors? Am I mistaken in thinking that books, before they are published, should be properly edited so as not to include such errors? I myself am used to reading, you know, actual English throughout entire books! Crazy, isn’t it?

Needless to say – because it’s all been said – Twilight disappointed me. I thought, I’ll take a chance with the fandom. I read the entire series, shrugged, and walked away. Forever. J.K. Rowling shivers every time somebody compares her to Meyer.

Agreeing here with Adrianna. I found so many English errors in Twilight. Some examples (and for anyone who opposes this, I could find page numbers) were words such as “handsomer” (not a real word, for those out there) and sentences such as “the stipulation of the phoneline.” Quite frankly, I postulate that Meyer has simply clicked on Microsoft word Theasaurus when writing her books, to make them sound more…intelligent? If that was her purpose, obviously it has failed, ad her misuse of the English language provides huge critiscm of her ability to write. On our blog we are currently discussing the same thing, an article that will be lengthed, so if interested, please look and email us at stopwashingradio@gmail.com

To Anonymous, you can’t know if you like/don’t like a book until you’ve read them. I did read them and I regret it. I hated the books, but my friends kept pestering me about reading them since they were oh so “good.” They are not, period! I’m seriously planning on taking them to my creative writing class so we can tear them apart. All of my classmates hate Meyer’s horrible writing style, especially the graduate student TA.

I just read your blog…sorry to say, but I’ve read the books and I’m 25 years old and I think they are great. I know alot of people who aren’t “goth teens” who have read them and think they are really good. Maybe you just don’t have an imagination???….. Regardless of her taste of music, the books were really good. And if you are going to slam her books just because of the soundtrack to the movie, then you are the one missing out. And as far as the other comment goes… who cares if there’s mistakes? It’s a freaking book! Do you think you could get that many words exactly right? Didn’t think so. Maybe you should just shut up and enjoy the book. If you don’t like it, then don’t read it. Period.

I just finished reading the books…They weren’t 100% horrible but they weren’t really good either. I’m no writer…….but seriously she is pretty fucking awful. There were so many mistakes in each book. Doesn’t she have an editor?!??? Not to mention…….MUSE is pretty much the worst band ever. UGH. I thought that I was the only one hating on the series…
