Popularity happened I guess. Paranormal romances became really popular, and suddenly they took over the whole YA section.

I don't think YA books have to be bad, or are bad in general. IMHO, people give YA books way, way more slack than they would give adult books in terms of quality. They expect bad writing, cliche plots, weak characters, etc, so fans of YA lit are fed a steady diet of subpar books. That's also why books that would be considered mediocre for adults are hailed as master pieces in the YA crowd. YA has lower standards, so we get saddled with shelf after shelf of poorly written clones of popular books that would never be published if the publishing company didn't want to cash in on the current genre trend. I think that's why there's so little variety in the YA genre and so much crap.

FALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!! honestly i liked twilight untill the movie came out. and angels seem more. unpredictable. i agree with alexandria and kelly. twilight is rlly cheesy

Twilight ..."

Yeah, I agree with you on that last sentence as well. It seems like the new hype is dystopian novels now because of The Hunger Games, but to be honest, I find dystopian novels a little more tolerable than paranormal romances.

I have to say Twilight...Honestly, its better written and easier to understand. I couldn't put Twilight down (not to say it was amazing or anything) but it only took me a night to finish it while fallen took me months cause I couldn't get into it.

Yeah, that's true. They're just setting the YA authors up for failure 'cause it's what teens expect to find when they read one.

Ha! Finally someone who agrees! :P Twilight does suck!

Both are very good story but i would love to encounter an fallen angel

I remeber really enjoying twilight, not so much anymore. Honestly, i think the movies ruined it for me, they were really bad and made me lose interest in the books altogether. But i did like them originally. I do think fallen was similar but then again, so many books follow the whole concept of "i love u against all reason and -oh wait - i think i love him too, etc" fallen got interesting but the first book was a boring read, i was pleasantly surprised that the last books took such a turn. I was glad i finished but i almost didnt even pick up the second book. Both books had somewhat nieve and weak female leads but overall i have to say twilight was a better read.

Twilight definitely.

Me, too.

FALLEN!!! Not to affend Twilight fans or author, I don't like twilght at all. the book was moving at a too slow of a pace, and bored me out of reading it

I love both but more fallen cause what would have been if we were able to encounter an angel how sweet

Fallen is the best! I liked Twilight, but Fallen just keeps you in. Especially when you read the rest of the series. Kids at my school don't tend to read the same books, but Fallen has almost totally taken over <3

Some people are saying that the rest of the series is boring, but I don't think so. It does actually get better as it progresses.

Yeah, I LOVE it. I'm reading Passion, and I can't wait to finish it. It confuses me, but then again it doesn't. Lauren Kate did GREAT writing these <3

She really did.

TWILIGHT, FALLEN IS SHIT

Um no I have read them both and even though there are some simalarities which you can't find a YA/fantasy book out there that dosen't remind me/you of another YA/fantasy book that you/me may have read or have come across but I'm with Twilight allthe way and it's not just because I'm a huge Twilight fan it's because a book/novel is suposed to tell a story, you know a story with relatable and nonrelatable characrters each with their own personal story, a plot that you do not have to be a rocket scientsis to understand(basically just at leaset have a average IQ), a setting that when described you/me can easily picture in my/your mind and well described main character and side characters(meaning I/you should not get to the end of the book and still can't imagine what the characters look like). That being said Fallen had none of those things in my opinion. And to prove that I'm not just another Twilight nut that won't consider any other book I love Vampire Academy series and thinks it's the only thing can go up against Twilight.

i personly like fallen better then twilight its s much more intresting

Asma wrote: "isabel wrote: "i personly like fallen better then twilight its s much more intresting"

NEITHER!

Asma wrote: "Anushka wrote: "NEITHER!"

What's your favorite book if you don't like these?

Sorry, just curious:))"

I am too.... What books do you think are better than Fallen or Twilight, like what are your favs.?

FALLEN!!!!

Fallen is so amazing! I really did enjoy the twilight series, but I feel as though Fallen is a step up and the story is more of a dark an mysterious romance.

i like both series twilight had vampires which i love cause vampires are one of my faviorite types of books to read. Fallen is also an amazing series and i can not wait to watch the movie it will be incredibly awesome.

fallen all the way cuz twilght has edward and he is nt pretty or hot AT ALLL ok jack up is way better

Hahaha... yeah. Edward looks like a fairy princess when he sparkles in the sunlight and has no abs. Not like Jacob does... :P I still think that they messed up the cast for Twilight, specifically on who should play Edward and Bella.

Same here.... the first movie was low budget and kinda bad. The second movie slightly better but only becuz there was a different director. The third movie was good too. Breaking Dawn Part 1 was just freakin' hilarious!!! Especially the part where Edward broke the bead frame. That was just ridiculous. I was laughing throughout most of that move.

The montages were my favorite part of Breaking Dawn prt 1. So many lovely montages. My favorites were the "getting ready for sex montage" and the packing montage. Both had me in tears.

Oh, yeah... she was all "don't be a coward".

Fallen

I've participated in several discussions about whether people like Twilight better than Fallen or Hush, Hush, and the scientist in me thought it would be interesting if we could quantify people's preferences...
