I can’t even mention my dislike of the Twilight Saga here. While the quality of the writing is extremely dubious, I can’t say that it is highly overrated. Meyer’s books got many people reading who perhaps didn’t read a lot before then. I believe that reading, even if the book is crap, is a good thing. My entire year nine class read Twilight at pretty much the same time (I had picked up a copy in Canada the year earlier, but I re-read it with everyone else), even the girls who I had never heard discussing litereature before. The book was the subject of classroom discussion for at least the three weeks following and the same ensued when the film adaptation was released.
Most of the girls at my school accept that the writing isn’t very good. But, they did enjoy the series which I cannot fault them for. So, the Twilight Saga is not highly overrated, just a bit overrated.
I can’t think of anything that I deem to be “highly overrated”.
