Twilight

I heard it was shit, but half of the people i know love it

what the fuck

It's not that bad and a very easy read. 

If you are poor, and spending money on books is a big strain for you, then save your money.  If however you are looking to kill a few hours might as well pick up the series. 

Aside from giving you a few hours of entertainment, the series also works as a step-by-step playbook on how to pick up teenage girls (if that's your thing). 

Also you have to support this book because it has opened up a world of lolis to older men (Bella starts the book at 17, and her love interest, edward, is like 90 something).

As a note the end is total horrible crap though...Get ready for that....
