ok... clearly you didn't understand what I wrote.. and you should read and interpretate better...
because that's what I meant when I said that Lauren Kate twisted the storie...

Mary Pickrahn I don't think the stories are a that much alike...and even if they are Fallen is written better and makes more sense to me.

That's what I think! I mean, Twilight isn't a horrible story... it's just irritating and cheesy. I'm sorry but Edward's an idiot and Bella's even more of an idiot. At least in Fallen Daniel didn't leave Luce becuz he thought he was no good for her or some crap like that. And even then I think that if Daniel did leave Luce, she wouldn't become a emotional, suicidal wreck.

haha... I agree with you when you say that Edward and Bella are idiots... because they are... ESPECIALLY Bella... but that's the fun thing about it... risky and crazy romantic situations that make you surprise...not something lame and predictable...and sorry but the stories are alike... I CHOSE TWILIGHT...

I tried to read that book. I'm not saying it wasn't good, I just wish it had more romance.

Ashley Broderick i didn't like twilight, i think that they have no knowledge of what REAL vampire is, therefore i don't want to read the books. so i choose fallen for best.

To me, Angels are way cooler than vampires. Wait! I take that back. I think it just depends on the vampire and how they're portrayed.

Tess I don't know. I like Daniel better than Edward, but the plot is really weak. There's no obvious choice. Can I rebel and say Mortal Instruments?

Ha! They annoy the hell outta me too! It's like Jacob why the hell are you obsessed with Bella? Like seriously, she's not even all that. She lacks a personality, she's a plain jane (but then I can't say anything 'cause so am I), and she's freakin' suicidal! Jacob can do so much better, but no! It's all about Bella with him. Edward.... no he can't do any better. It's obvious that he belongs with Bella so they need to just keep having their bubble of frivolous stupid love.


rai ♡ Rue wrote: "I've read the first book of Hunger Games a while back and I didn't like it. It was okay though. I heard that the other books were good. I haven't seen the movie yet though."

The other books were good, but the last book.... it was rushed to me and weird. IDK. Mainly just the ending was like that for me.


rai ♡ Rue wrote: "I heard that her sister died. Wasn't the whole point of the first book was to save her sister."

I know, right? I forgot all about that becuz I read the series like a year and a half ago. It's ridiculous.


george ☽ I dont think that Twilight and Fallen are very similar, but Twlight wins, 100%!

Why? There was way more action in Fallen, though.

Ina Twilight. Fallen was so boring.

I disagree. Twilight was more boring. At least in Fallen there were more fight scenes.

You think both were bad? What's your reasoning?

They were both extremely boring and overrated.

Twilight was kinda boring, but I don't think Fallen was completely boring. I thought that part where he'd gave Luce the middle finger was pretty funny, if random. It wasn't completely no entertaining. That's just my opinion. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.


Turtles All the Way Down I would choose Twilight. While both were very flawed books, Fallen uses a plot/romance device I loathe and does a rather poor job of using it too. Twilight is cliche, dull, and shallow in ways, but it's bad in a way that can be funny. Twilight feels like a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end, where as Fallen feels like one long book of set up, which is I detest.


message 395: by Kathryn (new) - rated it 1 star

Kathryn I would choose Twilight, too. I actually enjoyed the Twilight series...maybe because I'd never read anything like it before because I don't normally read stuff like it. A friend BEGGED me to read Fallen, and I don't rarely do this, but, I had to stop reading it and sold it to my bookstore without finishing it. I was just really dull and boring to me.

It's just that after reading so many books like Fallen, the story becomes predictable and I'm not surprised by any of the character's actions, however outrageous they seem to be.

Yeah....... I have to agree with you there. There's been a lot of talk about YA books right now. Most people are saying that they're bad, specifically the ones with loves triangles. It's the same story over again, true, but I think it depends on whether or not the author delivers the story well and what the end product is. Fallen doesn't really have a triangle unless you count Miles or Cam. After that kiss that Cam gave Luce in the first book, there hasn't really been anything between them. There was even a kiss Miles and Luce, but she still stuck with Daniel. I don't really think Miles even had that big of a chance. Any way, I get what you're saying about how they're all predictable. It seems like all these YA authors are just copying off one another. They aren't original, especially since the vampire and werewolf craze took over.

Your last sentence is EXACTLY how I feel. Personally, I'm a little tired of all of the vampires, werewolves, fallen angels, and all of this other hokey stuff....Whatever happened to the real world..?? haha!

I'm starting to get tired of it too. I want something new and fresh. I mean, if someone is gonna write a vampire or werewolf book, they should give it a new take and make it their own. I don't stick to books just about those things, though. I read books about faeries, necromancers, time-travelers, assassins, witches, modern day retellings of fairy tales,etc. Those are good. They give me a reprieve from all the vampire/werewolf drama.


message 400: by Isobel (new) - rated it 4 stars

Isobel M I would have to say i love both books and can't choose which one is better. I do have to say when i was reading Fallen it was a bit slow at the beginning and then pick upped a lot and was AMAZING! Anyway, Twilight was AMAZING too. For me both books are like the best.
