50 Shades of Grey - kinda curious on everyone's thoughts
Pengi:
I have read all the Twilight books. I'll admit I don't mind the actual BOOKS... I feel like they are mediocre writing but the character of Edward could be analyzed to have some real depth (which is why I found them interesting enough to finish) - though I feel that was probably accidental more than anything else on Meyer's part... but the movies are absolutely ridiculous. I literally fell asleep watching Breaking Dawn Part 1 a couple days ago. ???

I have to admit, I can see the appeal of Twilight; I plowed through all four of those books in two weeks, so there had to be something there. That said, I had a hard time trying to reread them. I'm the kind of reader who reads good books over and over again, but they just didn't hold my attention like they did the first time. I think the reason I read them so fast was just to see how the storyline would turn out, not because they were actually good. Turns out, the way the storyline ends is a huge letdown that makes the other books basically pointless, and Edward is a huge creeper. Even Jacob is creepy by the end. I've still seen all the movies (and yes, Breaking Dawn Part 1 was really bad), but I believe people who make fun of them are completely justified in doing so LOL.

I loved the Twilight books and have seen the films (and I own the DVDs), but I can understand why people would find them ridiculous, lol. I didn't like the whole imprinting thing. Bella got on my nerves as did Jacob, and Edward was a bit of a stalker...but I loved him hahaha :) Also the end of book four was a let down as I wanted a huge battle. My favourite book was Eclipse.
But 50 Shades has nothing that appeals to me.

I HATED Twilight the book with ten passions lol I was in the hospital when I read it and the nurses would come in and laugh because I was always yelling at it! My version of hell would to eternally hear Nkotb read Twilight. I can't think of anything worse... Well I guess if they tried to sing it, that would be worse lol
