The teenage fantasy novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer has recently been rated as the worst book of all times by reader’s votes on Goodreads, according to Parade.
Originally published in 2005, Twilight quickly became a cultural sensation, selling over 160 million copies globally.
The plot revolves around Bella, a teenager who encounters a 170-year-old vampire, Edward Cullen, in her high school and falls in love with him.
Despite its unmatched popularity and success, the book has always been the subject of criticism due to its character dynamics, writing style, and plotline.
Even famous horror writer Stephen King criticized Twilight, calling it “tweenager porn” and saying the series is “not about vampires and werewolves, but about how the love of a girl can turn a bad boy good.”
With the recent developments in the book's ratings, it is further proved that some works stand at the crossroads of opinions and continue to be in the limelight for years to come.
