Why is <span title="Twilight...................">Twilight....................</span> ?

Question

so popular? .... I have read the first book and found it to be very poor ,- what inspired the author to write it - She describes the girl- Bella as Independent and strong - and by the end of the book shes as weak as a kitten .

Answer 1

I like Alice &amp; Jasper Cullen, but I agree that the first book was kind of lame...read The Host I really, really, liked that book.  

Answer 2

i haven&#039;t read twilight yet but im starting to read new moon. i think that new moon is the best among the twilight series.

Answer 3

I don&#039;t know. I don&#039;t understand it, either.

I think there was a lot of hype created about it, and the characters being perfect (and lacking any depth, too.) may have helped a little.

But I&#039;m pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that almost any girl can insert herself into Bella&#039;s position, because in the books, she has no personalities or defining traits, other than being beautiful / mysterious / alluring, which the target demographic for this book wants to be, I guess.

Answer 4

I think it&#039;s all hype. I don&#039;t even know, the storyline&#039;s not original and vampires are so old. I mean there&#039;s so many romances out there about vampires.  

Answer 5

Well , the author apparently thinks that her character is independent and strong! But , the character of Bella is nothing else but Mary Sue.

I find Bella to be somewhat selfish , annoying character , and she&#039;s not independent at all , nor strong. She&#039;s damsel in distress , and she cannot survive without her boyfriend Edward , who&#039;s actually a control freak , but he&#039;s described as being perfect. She just can&#039;t stand on her own two feet by herself , always is in company of Edward , Jacob

or whatever....

You can actually see this by reading New Moon (the second book of the series). when Edward leaves her , she&#039;s completely crashed , desperate and she doesn&#039;t have any reason left for living.

From this , you can see how much she&#039;s &quot;independent&quot; and &quot;strong&quot;.

I think that her character is the most vulnerable and weakest from all other characters from the book.

The author (Stephenie Meyer) desperately needs a dictionary to learn what really means to be independent and strong.

As for the inspiration , the writer said that her idea came from a dream. She was inspired by the dream and wrote this book.

Answer 6

I&#039;ve read all 4 of the Twilight series books and I have to admit, I was like you at first..I didn&#039;t know what all the hype was about.  But what I came to love about it was the mysticalness (i dont think this is a word haha) of it and the romance between the 2 characters.  I think most teenage girls love it so much due to Edward Cullen and every girl dreams of a studly guy to fall in love with who is also going to treat them magnificently.  

As for why Stephenie Meyer wrote the stories...here&#039;s her website with how she came with it.

Answer 7

To answer what I think was a question in your rambling: she was inspired to write it because of a dream she had.

Why is it so popular?

Because even people who DON&#039;T like it (read: YOU) keep it in the limelight with questions like this.

Answer 8

hahaha i noo its terrible

i have no idea why its popular maybe because its different and has a boy in it

Answer 9

I read in a special edition that had an interview at the end of it and one of the questions was what inspired you? and she said that they story came to her in a dream or something like that
