Day 8 of the 30 Day Book Meme: MOST OVERRATED BOOK

Day 07 – Most underrated book An unexpected good read
Day 08 – Most overrated book



Twilight by Stephenie Meyer 


Yes, I did love it in the beginning; and of course I was pining for an Edward of my own (or maybe just a vamp BF in general), but there's no escaping the fact that this novel could have been written better. 

I don't think the book is bad - I think I would give it a 3.5 or even 4 star rating. The characters (when I first read it) were likeable, I liked the settings, and I actually really enjoyed reading it the first time - I didn't even notice the mediocre (OK - terrible) writing because the storyline and character relationships were really what drove it on for me. 
But now I think back while considering all its critiques (have you seen Alex Reads Twilight? So funny.) and realise it is far (very, very far) from the best book in the world. Which is the sort of acclaim it had received.

I couldn't agree with you more! I read it too (before the mad hype stage) and I though the same stuff you did. But when people when berserk and made it sounds like the world's next biggest thing..it made me go..huh?!Did I miss something when i was reading it?!Its just another vamp novel not a saga worthy work of literature!*tsk tsk*
