Twilight. I thought the same damn thing when I attempted to read the book.
Why Twilight Is Popular

Devie:
friends were blinded by this and did urge me to read the book, and also to watch the movies.
Within the first couple of pages I can already tell what will happen and even predicted that the bitch will eventually have a baby with this guy in which she did on one of the new movies I dont know. The story itself is very predictable, and very.. uhhh,.. shallow?

Women of different ages are obsessed with this and I have no idea why. I hated the book and the movie within the first couple of chapters even though I wanted to quit reading it after the first paragraph but hey, I figured I'd give it a chance.

What bothers me though is how people compare the author of twilight to the author of harry potter.
Why is twilight so popular? Is it because of how they depict "Edward" and how these women would love to have somebody like Edward or have an enchanting love story similar to the one in the book?

No clue.

Nemisous:
Also the main reason the book series is so popular is because of the movie. Because the book series was about as popular as Inkheart before the movie, so you can largely blame Hollywood for fabricating this trash and bringing it into the mainstream.

I completely agree. And not only that, but it shouldn't even be compared to Harry Potter. One of my good friends tried to argue with me that Twilight was better the Harry Potter for a bunch of said reasons and my only responses were.
"Harry Potter actually has a serious conflict and plot, and a resolve in the end. The ending was also not predictable and actually had more meaning it then Twilights ending will ever have.
Also, Robert Pattinson was in Harry Potter first, and he smiled and had color to his skin."

I made it through half the first book before quitting, and my friend still drags me to go see the movies. They're not absolutely horrendous (minus the bad acting on Kristen Stewarts part, so unemotional) but as said a thousand times, what's so great about a predictable movie.

On the good side the guy who played edward actually quoted that he liked being in harry potter MORE than being in twilight which was good to know. Harry Potter is something Im going to be reading my children and childrens children. IT is an amazing story with an amazing creative world.
