Twilight [the first book] and Eclipse are quite good.
New Moon and Breaking Dawn are awful. New Moon, especially.

I understand forcing oneself to read through the whole book. But forcing yourself to read through the whole series?
I'm a bit of a pop culture buff. I feel the need to read it, purely because it is now so engrained into our modern culture. It's one of the reasons I spent a chunk my uni holidays catching up on classic literature and movies.

Harry Potter :(

For a series that is so popular, I think the Harry Potter books are incredibly well written, ingenious and funny. She shouldn't have rushed the last one tho.

Well I can't tell - cause if a book annoys me - I stop reading.
I stop reading a lot of books cause the bored me.
Somebody said Harry Potter. I guess they are annoyed by the hype about the book and the actors. Who continues to read if the book is annoying?

Purposeless, stilted, reviled, unreadable. I am amazed that that dullard of an author was given a grant to plague the world with that abomination.

Twilight. No question about it :]

I have never read a worse piece of drivel in my entire life. Damnit Meyer, give your characters FLAWS! Make them INTERESTING so I actually give a damn about what happens to them!

It wasn't that bad, IMO.

A bit bleak, yeah, but it wasn't completely horrendous. Eh, each to their own

LOL @ people who hate Shakespeare.

I'd have to say Frankenstein is the most annoying book of all time.

This sounds oddly familiar to another authors rant about twilight.

i hate everything to do with Harry Potter. All the books are a waste of time. The most over-rated over hyped pile of rubbish.

Why do people love them rubbish so much ??

The God Delusion. Dawkins does make some valid points, but most of the book reads like he's trying to piss the Church off as much as he can.
