Books to Avoid

[Clueless Morgan]

Twilight and 50 Shades.

Twilight is pure Thesaurus rape. Which is kinda sad, because the story itself is pretty good. It's just the abysmal writing that ruins everything. We get it, Stephenie, you discovered thesaurus.com. No need to use it on every word in your book.

I have always maintained that the idea for the first book is interesting but the writing sucks and the story doesn't even start until the baseball game which is like 2/3 of the way through the book!! I also loathe Bella (she's got no personality and I can't figure out why she's inexplicably popular) Edward (who's a controlling prick) and Jacob ( who is the least objectionable of the three but still unbearably overbearing about Bella.)

I can definitely agree about fanfiction, I have yet to even read a decent fanfic. But yeah, 50 Shades and the Twilight Saga are utter shit.

I've read some decent stuff, even some stuff I would call really good, but the return on investment isn't high enough to warrant the time it takes to find the good stuff.
