I'm also not a fan of the Twilight series and I never bothered seeing the movies. I understand that it targets tennagers or young adults so (I think) I'm WAY too old to be reading it.

I read the first book for the sake of knowing what is up with almost every girl fawning over Edward Cullen. I borrowed it (which was a wise move in my opinion because I could've wasted money on something that I will not like!) from a friend. I wasn't even halfway through the book and I was already bored! I just finished it because I have a habit of finishing books before I return them, whether I liked the novel or not. It was quite a waste of time, but at least I knew what is was all about. And so far, it wasn't anything special.

I can't say it was a poorly-written novel. There are far worse, poorly-written novels scattered around that are amazingly best sellers! Maybe I just found the characters bland and all that lovey-dovey crap isn't my thing so it didn't pique my interest.

Well, there are far more interesting books than Twilight that deserves a space on our actual or virtual bookshelves.

The Warm Bodies movie. It created quite a stir among my friends so I decided to see for myself. It was funny in its own way but I admit that I was a little weirded out with the whole zombie-is-in-love-with-a-human-girl-and-girl-falls-for-zombie-guy scenario, but heck...That's love! Who are we to judge? :)
