The main reason why people buy Twilight books is..

ahem i am quite offended by that reasoning i hate both of them ahem!

ILL TELL YOU WHY THE HP FANS BY THEM, BECAUSE OF ROB SINCE HE PLAYED CEDRIC.THE TWILIGHT FANS BECAUSE THEY THINK HES HOT [I DONT].BUT I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LOVE FICTION, AND ISNT TWILIGHT FICTION? OFCOURSE, I AM TEAM JACOB, BUT IM ALSO TEAM HARRY HOT POTTER.I DIDNT BY IT CUZ OF EDWARD OR JAKE OR ROB OR ANY OF THEM. THERES UR REAL ANSWER

In my case, just curious what the twi-hype is all about. I don't regret reading all 4 books (+Midnight Sun draft). Why?

1. I get to understand what Stephen King meant with his comment regarding SM.

2. There are such thing as boring, yawn-inspiring bestsellers.

3. That i'm not gonna waste time again reading "hype" books without checking out reviews first.

'Nuff said!

people buy the twilight books cuz they want to read them! gosh you harry potter fans just wanna make us twi-fans look stupid!

nooo the main reason people buy twilight books is because their is so much drama that its exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then they'll have to wait for that in the movies and go "WOOT WOOT!", I mean yeesh...

They buy the ones with Edward or Jacob on the cover, so that they can scream when they take tehir shirts off...

actually the reason why I downloaded the book (not even drunk will I pay for them) is because I have read in many sites how dull and boring is Meyers writing style and i was heavily intrigued at the idea of how can such an awfully written book be so popular among (girl) teenagers. True, the reason why twilight is famous now its because of shirtless pattinson and lautner. but for the movie to be made, the book must have been liked first, and I wonder why.

Exactly!

isn't it obvious?isn't it entertaining for teen girls to read something that makes you think you're the girlfriend of the supposed-most perfect man in the world & a hot man without shirt is also after you?

oh,by the way,I don't want to be the girlfriend of the stalking"most perfect" guy in the world nor kissing a pedophile-in-making.

Maybe, I dunno. But I think that YES that probably most of them would buy the books after they've seen the films.

But my theory is that they're like "What if someone like that could fall in love with ME?" I was reading the Guardian and it said that "vampires are out. Fallen Angels are in."
Trends move fast, don't they?

actully i no my english teavher only bought the book coz she saw the movie first, n she likd it so much (mainly coz of edward). n like me she didn't like it n found it boring. i also no that my friend only bought it coz her friends bought it n were pbsessed with it, but ashe didn't like it. its mainly coz of word of mouth n robert patterson n the movies.

Many people just buy the books because they wanna know what all the hype is about. That is why I bought them. Then, some people end up hating the books because apparently, they are no good. I am one of those people! =)

Omg *rolls eyes*

Im a Twilight Fan, i read the all the books before it came out as a movie. I read them because my cousin reccomended me to read them and see if i liked them. And i did, i had no idea they were making it as a movie, and when i found out i wanted to see how it was and if it would be like the book.

Im not obsessed with Edward or Jacob and i dont obsess over them when they take their shirts off either, i really hate it when people jump to stupid conclusions saying "Twilighters only like the book because, they want their boyfriend to stalk them, and because their HOT!!" and many other ridiculous reasons. I mean yeah some crazy obsessed girls MIGHT be like that, but MOST of them arnt.
Arnt we allowed to like the books how they are? do we have to point out all the faluts in the books we love to read? People just need to get over it, its only a book!!! If you dont like it then dont read them, watch the movies, go on Twilight sites, and dont Post things about Twilight then. Its not that hard!

I disagree... not completely, but i think that most people buy them because they are a craze and everyone just wants to go with the crowd.

I know that it's not the case for some people, but in my expirience, that would be the main factor!

I actually picked up the book before the movie came out. I like the saga for the saga, not because of the actors that play the parts. I only read HP in the first place to see what was all the hoopla about, I had a friend who wouldn't talk about anything else...don't get me wrong I like HP too but not as much as Twilight ;)

I attend an all girls high school, so when the hype surrounding Breaking Dawn and the Twilight movie hit the Twilight fans at the school, about 60% of the people who'd never read it or heard of it were in love with it within about a week. The group I used to hang out with decided to go anti, myself included, until one girl's mum read it. The daughter read it so two more of the girls in our group did and they said it was good so I agreed to read it. Please note that the two girls who read it after the first have both won scholarships, one has two - they're smart.

I was watching trailers for the movie and had heard about how great it was so I bought the books just before I went on holiday to Europe. I read the four within a week and really liked it. Due to the hype and fangirls I was constantly surrounded by, I only ever heard positive things about it so I didn't question the book. Once the hype had died down a friend who had decided not to read the book was asking me what was good about it and I literally had nothing to say. I began to realise that there is no reason behind Twilight. There's no message, no morals, no plot, bad grammar, 2D characters, etc.

I bought the books because of the hype and my belief that the book should always be read before seeing the movie if it's an epic franchise like this supposedly is, but I should really consider the "try before you buy" approach.

i heard how everyone was saying how gay it was so i wanted to see the movie for my self and didnt really care for it but as soo as i seen Taylor i decided i had to read the books so i did and enjoyed them MOSTLY because of jacob and the wolf pack and...yeah

I liked the Harry Potter books and movies, I like the Twilight movies, haven't read the books yet, I'm too in Love with Nytstars!!!!! I'm so gona marry Tyler!!!!!

Because they are out of firewood.

You don't need to buy a book to find out whether they're taking their shirt off or not.Just go to wikipedia.Besides,it's Smeyer,enough said.
