Talk:Twilight (novel series)

Reception, influence, and controversy

this section needs to be broken up, it's too mashed together

also, it seems biased in the praise of Twilight, without giving enough attention to the overwhelming criticism--99.101.160.159 (talk) 17:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of the series at all, and so I see your point. In my opinion, it seems strange to have the reviews broken up by well-known people who like them...also, it seems to be more about popularity than negative criticism. Also, in the gigantic paragraph when it's compared to Harry Potter (purely just because it's popular and fantasy), there isn't the Stephen King quote, which is found 3 paragraphs later. The beginning is gushing with the positive sides of reviews, then with famous celebrities who like the series, then about how it is so popular, which of corse is a cause for many reviewers to compare it to Harry Potter, and then there's a bunch about people flocking to Forks (al this should deserve it's own "popularity" or "legacy" section), that misplaced quote from Stephen King, and then FINALLY the criticism. Which is not much.

I also have a problem with the sentence: "Referring to the series' enduring popularity and fandom, USA Today said, "Move over, Harry Potter".[49]" Actually, the USA Today reviewer was pointing to the fact that Eclipse had topped Deathly Hallows on the USA Today Bestseller List.

Yup, as someone who's experienced the widespread dislike of this series first-hand numerous times I found it quite baffling how biased in favour of it this article is. Check the Justin Bieber article for a good example of how this section should look. --Rogington (talk) 10:39, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, this article is incredibly biased and makes almost no reference to the HUGE amount of negative criticism of the book series or of Stephanie Meyer's writing. But of course the article has been locked, meaning nobody can tag it for it's clearly non-neutral point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TDiNardo (talk • contribs) 12:01, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I removed that tag, after deleting one full paragraph detailing the praise for the book. If you read the entire section carefully, you'll find that a lot of criticism HAS been covered in the article. And please stop making lurid allegations like "this page was locked so that nobody can tag it". Ilov90210 (talk) 08:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, tried to break up the reception to be more easily readable, and added in some of the criticisms/controversy to create NPOV. Lemme know what you think? Koothrappali (talk) 10:21, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Koothrappali

Edit Request

Please remove that link to wikia.

Information should be added to the article about Midnight Sun, the unpublished, partially written book by Meyer which tells the same plot as Twilight but from Edwards point of view. The initial chapters of the book were leaked on the internet, so Stephanie ceased writing the book. She then released those chapters on her website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pkc43 (talk • contribs) 20:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Influences

I can see how "New Moon" is based on Romeo and Juliet given the very close plot similarity, but, honestly, what is the relation if any between "Eclipse" and Wuthering Heights ? Edward doesn't remind me of Edgar and Jacob is nothing like Heathcliff.187.34.79.73 (talk) 13:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Has anyone asked Meyers if the name "Cullens" is based on a word play on "Collins" from the Dark Shadows 60s/70s drama (or more specifically Barnabas Collins)?

Continuity errors in the film.

as an example, at the end of the film when in hospital Bella has nasal prong oxygen which shifts between being over her eyes, then over her cheeks and then back over her eyes when with Edward.

More are surely present and might be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.178.243.219 (talk) 11:22, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

All of that is already in the article, except written properly and in an encyclopedic tone--Jac16888 ^Talk 00:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
