Question of the Week: Love Triangles in books?

Books for thought is hosted by Eleni at La Femme Readers
These are my answers to the questions she asks.

Question: What do you think about love triangles in books?
My Answer: I'm ok with them, as long as the triangle isn't completely obvious e.g. Twilight. Everyone knew she was going to end up with Edward, to the point that Jacob wasn't really needed as a love interest at all. If you can't be completely certain as to who is going to win I find it fun to win and at least be able to go for someone.

I enjoy reading about love triangles. But it's always so disappointing when the female lead character doesn't pick the guy I'm rooting for-then I'm just angry. So yeah, they're okay but there are too many of them.

I agree with both of you. If the story is predictable, the story lose its complete sense. And if you hope that she choose your favourite male character and she doesn't, it's very disappointing!!

True, why do authors make a guy that is nice and a guy that is a complete dolt and the chick picks the wrong guy...why?!

I agree on your point about the obvious. But I also would dislike it if the triangle was carried out too long .... it makes me wonder if he/she really loves the person in the first place.

That's so true!

If you're in love with someone...how can you be thinking about someone else?

You must have love Hunger Games. I wasn't sure who she was going to end up with. Did you guess it?

I get kind of annoyed with love triangles (or atleast how often they occur) and I'm going to disagree and say I kind of prefer it when it's a little obvious who she's going to end up with, only because I hate it when the main character is having all this drama over which she loves more/wants to go out with. I end up disliking the main character if she can't even decide which love interest she likes.
