I want your opinions on this...

I'm contemplating over whether or not I want to spend money on the Twilight books and start reading them. Some people tell me they are absolutely the best books ever, while others say they are abolutely horrible books. So I want as many peoples opinions as possible.

And make sure you justify why you like or hate the Twilight books. Thanks!

How exactly does swearing make you a jerk?

And 'bastardize' isn't a swear word. Definition:

to lower in condition or worth; debase


And I didn't throw a hissy fit - I used 1 swear word to express annoyance over something.

And it's not a 'view' of them - whatever her creature was, it wasn't a vampire.

Really, using 1 swear word doesn't make me a jerk. Get your defiitions straight.

NEVER! Unless you LOVE romance novels and if you watch the movie, chick flicks, you will hate the series. Any males that read that are GAY.

I completely understand what you're saying. . .you're misunderstanding me. Quit being so condescending - you say I misunderstand you, when I keep trying to dumb down what I'm saying so you can understand and you still fail to get the gist of what I am saying.

I'm replying directly to hat you're saying in response - if you meant something else, and you decided that it would imply itself and you didn't need to sue words then okay, but I have no idea how the hell you can possible continjue to misunderstand what I'm saying - I said that I disagree (I used one swear word, and you said I was throwing a hissy fit. I explained to you SLOWLY why I wasn't - I practically broke it down word for word for you) with what she's done. You obviously don't understand a word of what I'm sayign so I won't waste my time further.

By definition, we weren't flaming. IF I came off that way, sorry, but we weren't name-calling or anything. WE were just misunderstanding each other. . .a lot.

No I understand what you are saying. I am simply saying you could have stated your opinions in a nicer way. 12 year olds shouldn't be swearing at all, by the way, nobody should.

Right before you said we weren't flaming each other you basically called me dumb. So ya you kinda were flaming me.

This is where i will admit that i didn't go about saying things in the right way and maybe I used terms that didn't fit but it makes me angry when people swear and say that the concept of a fiction book is wrong. She can write whatever she wants she has her ideas you have yours. Plus she siad that it was inspired by a dream so that why the idea is different.

Now I know i said i give up but i just had to ramble on some more. Why because i did understand you, i'm not stupid like you think i am.All i was ever saying, though maybe not in the right way, is that you could have stated your opinion in a nicer way. Now I really truely give up with this as of now, i have better things to do.

My opinion is: don't read the Twilight series! In fact, if you can avoid reading altogether...

That's a rather anachronistic view. . . .

Words carry to much wright in society. They're just words - they shouldn't and really don't carry the capacity to be offensive.

You did the same thing >.>

I don't think you're stupid - just a bit squeamish about asterisks >.>

She can write whatever she wants she has her ideas you have yours. Plus she siad that it was inspired by a dream so that why the idea is different.


But my point is that she took an old concept and kind of mutilated it - she didn't invent her own concept. If she had taken it as her own concept, I would've been fine with it.

you totally missunderstood everything i said. It was the way in which you said it that made you a jerk swearing and throwing a hissy fit is no way to state your opinion. and i did not say anything about facts about vampires i said it is fictional so if she wants to change the concept of vampires than that is fine.


No offense but it seemed like you totally overreacted. Also, cussing is fun. Embrace it

I've heard that they're very well written, and sometimes that's all you need. I figure a book is better read than unread.
