Twilight appealed to me at first, when it was a big craze and I was getting tons of great recommendations for the books, so I thought, alright, I'll have a look. I liked them the first time I read them, but they were pretty over-rated. When the craze died down a little and I didnt have tabloids shoving Rob and Kristen "secret-romance" in my face 24/7, I read the books again and realised just how much I despised the character of Bella. Not only in the book, where shes pathetic and you just want to slap some sense into her, but even in the movie, with Kristen Stewart and her heavy breathing and wooden acting.
I'm very much over the whole thing, so Harry Potters definitely more for me. It may also be that I'm an absolute Harry Potter fanatic, like embarrassingly so. But I'll choose a scrawny kid with a scar over sparkly vampires anyday.
