Why do you like Twilight?

Question

I tried to read it, and honestly, I was disappointed. It was hyped up to be so awesome, but it was lacking, in my opinion.

So why do you like this book? And as a side question, why does everyone think Edward Cullen is so hot?

I'd prefer a good explanation, to any extent that I don't get 15 answers all saying "cuz edward's hawt lolol".

Answer 1

Its ok, and like what everyone else is saying, the beginnings were boring. I just read "The Host"  and I really liked it.... (Maybe better than Twilight?) Plus, I don't think Edward is HOT... I like Jacob better anyway :)  He is more daring.

Answer 2

People think Edward is hot because that's how he is described in the book.  He's supposed to be perfect.

>.<;

I hate Edward.

o.O;  As to liking the books...

I like to make fun of them because, hey, the vampires sparkle in sunlight.  It's funny in how terrible it is.

But I do like Jacob, and a single character can be enough to pull me through a series.  

Also, it's cheesy beyond belief.  And I like cheese.  ^_^

Answer 3

i hate the twilight series.

GO HARRY POTTER

Answer 4

I don't know, I guess its just a good book to me.  I think its hilarious that a  bunch of girls think that "Edward is so hot" even though he is a fictional character!  

Answer 5

well.

how can I begin?

I've read some of these answers...and laughed.people who say this book is stupid-twilight, but they have still read the whole series.i mean that's just ridiculous.

I'll admit to you, I was completely addicted for a couple of months and could not see a flaw in it. but then i started realizing...it is just an ordinary romance book MADE TO be sold.made to make money.

as any other girl, in the beginning i loved it,because it described love.the most beautiful and strongest love ever.and i was dazzled by it. and as i read and read and read-for hundreds of times-i started hating it.because it made me fall in love with a fictional vampire which i could not ever have.i was depressed---because i knew i would never ever meet edward cullen.or someone real who was like him.and it slowly started killing me...i couldn't date guys anymore..because everyone was too ordinary for me.but now(though i am irretrievably ruined)-i picked up my pieces and got on with my life.i am a very emotional person and i bond very easily so don't you judge me because you don't know me. i will never forget Edward and i don't want to.but stephenie meyer,and the twilight series-i despise.

Answer 6

because every girl wants that obsessive bipolar boyfriend who gets all romantic with you and if you go TOO FAR, turns to stone and acts like a prissy beotch.

Answer 7

Did you finish it? The first half of the book I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever read in my entire life, but when I finished it I realized I was addicted.

I was very ashamed of myself.

Anyway, I guess I like them because they're easy to read and pretty interesting. (.....andedwardishotbutthat'snottheonlyr...  

Answer 8

yeah the first chapter in all of them suck, and to be completely honest there are waaaaaay better books.

i dont see why people think he is hot. i think she in a way ruined how people view vampires.  they are dark creatures, they are not supposed to glisten in the sun.

Answer 9

Well Twilight is basically a book about love

and it's written in Bella's point of view so we exactly know how a girl feels when she's in love

Instead of just a boring romance, the author has just made it more interesting by mixing romance with vampire.

Edward is just a normal guy (well vampire) but because hes described as a very good looking person with ability to 'dazzle' people, the readers find that quite charming

And because of the way he speaks, the way he cares about Bella and his willingness to give his life for the one he truly love is just...

Plus, the way he express his feeling to Bella is just erm reli romantic

So he's everything

Oh and because he is a vampire, he has there amazing abilities

he's as fast as light and so strong.

The way he has been described and the way he appears to people is just so perfect

and in real life, he would be described as HOT and for that, people fall for him and have this fancy crush on him even though he is not really

i must say I do quite like him myself and I thnik he's quite an amazing character

and im looking forward to seeing the film

for your additional detail;

I know Edward had to keep trying to stay away because he's vampire whos born to hunt people for food but he loves Bella and although he doesnt kill humans for food, he is still a vampire after all so sometime he is just afraid that he might not be able to control himself and kill the one he loves.

He was just doing this because he loves her

And bella on the other hand is not scared because she loves edward so much that she doesn't care if she has to give up anything, even her life just to be with him

Dont get me wrong with anyone would die for someone they love

And for that last bit, I agree with you and I have no answer to that but it seem like she may have something a lot of people like. for example looks

hope i've answered your question

much love

xx

Answer 10

I enjoy Twilight because I find it was well written.

She did an amazing job at describing everything, and it was one of the best written books I've read in a while.

Sorry, but thats my answer, I cant make it any better then this.

Answer 11

I liked this book because it was romantic and exciting.  I never really got into the vampire thing but Stephenie Meyer brought Love and Vampires into a story that made me feel good.

I think edward cullen is the object of many desires because he was portrayed as a protective, quite attractive human being.  I personal was team edward as cheesy as it sounds because he loved in a way that someone like myself would like to be loved.  I also don't have a crush on him like some girls do because he is made to be perfect which in reality is EXTREMELY hard to find and unrealistic.

Answer 12

i really hated the beginning of twilight but the end was okay the next three books r pretty good except when the whole romance thing goes to far and im like i get you love each other! but the story about vampires and stuff is interesting. i guess some people just really love that character.

Answer 13

Well, I don't really like the layout of the book, and some of the scenes are kind of too girly compared with the books that I like to read, however when I carried on reading it I just couldn't stop, the romance between Bella and Edward is so strong that it almost seems that it's impossible for anyone to be so in love, it almost leaps off the page!. Also the way that even though so many obstacles are in their way they still overcome them. I think people like it because it gives them hope, hope that maybe one day they'll meet someone like him, and be happy!

I also think because Bella is so ordinary, she's not special in any ways so it gives people an idea that you don't have to fall into a specific stereotype

Answer 14

God I know...

He's just a fictional character...

I liked the book and a lot of people do but there are also a lot of people who dislike it. It seems you are one of them, or else you think it's OK but it doesn't live up to your expectations. I guess if I had read it after reading all the hype I might have been a bit disappointed too...but continue reading the series and you might just be surprised.  

Answer 15

lol okay why I like the book so much is...

1.) I love fiction books and vampires (in my opinion) are just awesome

2.) I can relate to the main character, (she isn't this super gorgeous girl she is your average 17 year old girl who has a lot of flaws)

About the Edward Cullen thing, yes he is totally hot but if you have read New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn you can see that Jacob is actually a great guy too.

I think that I like Jacob the same as Edward is well because he is more human (does that make sense) when you picture Edward he is a god.  Jacob is just your average guy (well besides the fact that he is a werewolf)  

Twilight I believe overall is a great love story.  It's a good girl book.  It is one of those books that you can just relate to one or more characters.  It's a great love story for young girls.  But guys have read it it is just a great series.  

But yes it does have its flaws.  Even though Bella does say she is average looking you can't help but envision her to be beautiful.  And the part of Bella that is so selfless is really annoying.  She is also very stupid lol ^.^  

So I hope this helped.

Answer 16

mm I read it because it wasa about vampires and ironically I sided with the werewolves lol. I like it , mm but I'm not Edward crazy infact I always make fun of him just for fun lol he's good mmm I- thiiin k *physically can't do it*

Answer 17

Why do I like Twilight? It's the worst book I have read since "The Da Vinci Code". A real torture, it isn't even suitable for teenagers. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, that thing shouldn't be called literature.

Answer 18

i don'tt know, its just that i think it has an amazing story and its exciting the whole way through!! the characters have so unique personalities it makes the story so interesting!!!!!!

Answer 19

well, i loved it because....

....SM made it so easy to step into bellas shoes, and really, it is amazing how much bella is like me (personality and life, not looks)

....it was very descriptive and i love reading description

....because it was a good storyline and was just INTERESTING. sorry people who thought it was boring, you guys must just have amazing imaginations and dont need books.

....because SM thought of good ideas for vampires (really, its made me see them in a whole new light)

....and because of edward....but hey, im sure every girl would LOVE to have a boyfriend/husband like him.  

Answer 20

Well it might not appeal to you. It all depends on the person who's reading it. People think Edward is so hot because there imagining what he might look like to them. For your question about Edward saving Bella, it's yes and no. Yes because he doesn't want to have anything to do with her, to keep her safe, but no because to keep her safe it doesn't mean ignoring her. She has multiple guy's after her because in the start of the book it points out that all these people grew up together that they know each other. So she's new, she's something different. It's as simple as that.

Answer 21

Yes! Someone who agrees with me.  I read them all, but they have no plot, the characters are all Mary-Sues/Gary-stus, and it's repetetive.  It's not well written at all, full of purple prose, mostly about Edward, and due to the fact that we are stuck in Bella's mind, the thoughts we read are eternally stupid.  "Building number three was very easy to find once I turned the corner.  It had a big number three on it."  Well, thank you, Bella.  That was very observant of you.  She does other things like this too, including describing how a motor sounds, because we don't already know.  Bella is also cliche-filled.

And Edward cannot be hot, as we know nothing about him.  He is described very little, mostly by Bella as "hot, hot, hot" or "god-like" which tells us nothing.  The little we do know about him is weird- he glitters, has purpleish bruises under his eyes, which change color, and is very very pale and is cold and feels like marble.  That personally is not what I would describe as hot.  He is the very opposite of hot, literally.  

And he's abusive, overprotective and overbearing.  But somehow also completely perfect.  I don't think I would like dating someone perfect.  Aren't the little flaws the things we love most about people?

On a side note, since when you turn into a vampire ALL the fluids in your body are turned to venom and your body uses your blood to fuel you, Edward should not be able to have s*x, much less get Bella pregnant.
