A Goodreads user asked this question about Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1):

Why do people hate this book so much? They should't even be allowed to

Look at the silly answers here. We have Elias saying that people shouldn't be judgmental, but then inserts "live" at the end of your question without knowing what you were going to say at all. None of these people have even read the books; "demystifies vampires"HA! Anne Rice, Freed Saberhagen and millions of writers have already given tons of details on vampire existence. "Vampires should be bloodthirsty" THEY ARE in Twilight. The Cullens try to keep from killing humans, and still fail occasionally. The others don't even bother. The vast majority of vampires in Twilight are bloodthirsty. As for terrifying and ugly..again most books, including Dracula do not portray vampires that way. They look like humans, and they are seductive. So why? Because their friends said Twilight was bad, because their friend heard it from another friend, who heard it from another friend, and none of them have read it.(less)
