Day 08: Most overrated book...

Twilight (Twilight Saga, #1) by Stephenie Meyer

 

Obvious choice is obvious, isn't it? Let me first say that I kinda enjoyed the Twilight series. And I'll tell you why - it was the first time I had read a story like this. I see and acknowledge the serious problems with the story, the romance, the characters, etc. But I still enjoyed most of it on the surface. That being said, I find it to be the most overrated piece of fiction I've ever come across. I understand that people go gaga over books I just don't get, but there is no excuse for the reaction this series has received. The whole phenomenon is baffling to me. This is not a good enough piece of writing to inspire the rabid fandom it's achieved, but whatever. I'm glad it's over.
