Can anyone explain me what's the problem with Twilight?!
And don't get me wrong, if you have a problem with Stephenie Meyer's work I'm not going to say anything about it but... why is so much people annoyed with the series?
From where I see it, there has been good things and bad things after the big fuzz of the series.
Good things:
- Let's face it, a LOT of young people started to read again (and most of them for the first time) books, real books, not magazines or well, magazines xD
- Stephenie is, actually, a good writer. And a very nice person.
- After Twilight a lot of indie authors or new brand authors got the opportunity to be published.
Bad, really bad things:
- Vampires were supposed to be cool, sexy and crazy, now in a lot of YA books they are sweet, caring and most likely very annoying with their "oh, please, stay away from me, I'm evil" stuff.
- Trying to use to the big fuzz of Twilight classics, real and amazing classics like "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice were re-edited with new covers to match the Twilight covers... and I have to ask to the editors and publishers: what's wrong with you, people?! Seriously?! Like Twilight?! Those books have nothing to do with Twilight!!!
Here the sad prove:
As you can see this happened in the UK version and the Spanish version of the books.
- There are a THOUSAND books that have the same start (if not the whole book) as Twilight. The same, with no difference. Where is the originality dear authors? I'm sure you can do so much better.
- Vampires are everywhere therefore they are becoming so freaking normal that it hurts. They were supposed to be special.
- I go to the cinema to watch every movie but that doesn't mean I like the actors because sorry but I didn't picture most of them like that... (please, fans of the actors, don't kill me, alright? Please).
So, as you can see, there's a lot of things that I don't like after Twilight. But I LIKE Twilight, I really do. I enjoyed every second with every book.
Ok, no, that's a lie, I hated New Moon, the whole book was really annoying... But I liked the series in general and I don't blame it for all the horrible things that happened after it. So, why the hate? I would really like to know your opinion, good or bad, about my post. Just be honest, I won't bite xD (bad joke, I know).
