Maris Here is why I hate Twilight (posted by creator of group ).
1. This story is like a fairy tale written by a seven year old in every way. The romance is told from a point of view as if the author has never seen or heard of love or lust in her entire life. Also, the plot is very banal. How many books have been written about forbidden love? Love that just can’t be? It’s getting old. The grammar and editing are the worst I’ve ever seen. The storyline is creative but the situations go all to well for anything to be realistic. And then when something does go wrong, it’s what everybody’s expecting as the worst circumstance possible.
2. The plot is the most clichéd, unoriginal, predictable one that I’ve read in my lifetime. More so than any Disney® movie or Mother Goose® story. Edward, the main male character, is a super handsome vampire with extraordinary powers: mind-reading, super-speed, sparkles in direct sunlight, and is immortal. Another fact is that Edward is sexy, strong, and supernaturally gifted – the fantasy of many teen girls. Appealing, right? Let’s make this disgusting story even more perfect: Edward is obsessed with Bella (the main female character), he can’t read her mind (she’s special!), Bella’s scent is especially alluring, and Edward’s makeshift vampire family instantly loves her. Oh yes, and her best friend Jacob Black, who is a werewolf (mortal enemies of vampires) is also madly in love with her. Add him to the pile of boys from school who are falling head over heals in love with mysterious, introverted Bella. And Bella’s klutziness, dark hair, pale skin, and excessive shyness make her even more attractive, so that virtually everyone who sees her falls hopelessly in love with her. [This is all?:] very immature and impractical of the author. Bella is just a way for desperate teenage girls to become an alluring, mysterious young woman with whom every boy is in love.
3. Despite having everything any girl could wish for, Bella is a selfish, whiny brat. She is very self-absorbed and not a heroine at all. Bella is definitely not a good role model for the girls who pine over these books. Bella is constantly a damsel in distress and is repeatedly saved by others. She has no element of independence or emotional strength in her personality whatsoever. Bella is really pathetic. And the fact that she’s a world-class klutz makes everyone feel worse for her than they already do. So at this point everybody is knee-deep in pity for poor Bella.
4. Twilight is not literature, though it’s being claimed as so. It’s teen fiction. It’s chick lit1! Twilight falls under the category of “Mary Sue2”. This type of literature is formed when the author writes a story about their favorite book, movie, or T.V. show but inserts another character (usually female) who may have a different name but is really meant to be the author. This clearly discloses the immaturity of Ms. Meyer – she obviously wishes to be Bella. It appeals to teenage girls (and some immature women) because it’s told from the first-person perspective of a teenage girl. So therefore the girls who read it better relate to the story and even put themselves in the main character’s place. However, the writing is not quality and the books are overrated. Also, the readers already know what happens, because the ending is always happy.
5. It’s a shame that this series can be called literature. I completely don’t understand why. Is it the romance? Is it the suspense? Both of those elements are completely empty in these books. It’s as if the books are bodies without souls – a good storyline, but awful everything else. The writing is disgusting and embarrassing. Ms. Meyer switches from past to present without warning anybody, and even an experienced reader like myself is left befuddled. Also, this book holds more typos and grammatical errors than any other book that I’ve read. Ms. Meyer does NOT deserve the hype this book is getting. There are thousands of better authors that I’ve read whose stories contain more depth, personality, and feeling than these awful books, and yet Ms. Meyer is being claimed “the greatest writer of 2008”. Some writers have affected my life in so many ways, and even encouraged me to start writing, and what has Twilight done? Played with some girls’ hormones, that’s what. What’s worse is that Twilight is everywhere. All over the internet, on discussion forums, book clubs, fan clubs, and on T.V. It’s really irritating, especially to people who hate the books. It is evidence that one bad author can beat out so many amazing authors. It is evidence that all the hard work that good authors have gone to to weave heart pounding, inspiring, creative stories has gone to waste – one awful storyline, clichéd plot, group of uninspired characters, and a boring setting can crush true work in just one blow. It is evidence that while our favorite authors are going unnoticed, this waste of paper is gaining so much publicity.
6. Repetition. Ms. Meyer must have used the phrase “voice like velvet” to describe Edward a thousand times in Twilight. In her third book, Eclipse, she repeated the same ideas over and over again until they were ingrained into my head for life. It seemed like I was going in circles – I would read the exact same things that I just read. At first I was confused, but then I realized that Ms. Meyer was just filling space. It offended me because she assumed her readers ...Twilight

message 15: by Elisa (new)

Elisa thats a little insulting. if you don't watch out i think i might have edward come suck your blood :)


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh no!!! I'm so afraid of a gay fictional stalker who sparkles in the sun!! NO!! Please don't set Edward on me, when I kill him, I'll have all the stupid fangirl teens attacking me because they think he's real.


message 17: by Elisa (new)

Elisa first of all edward is not a stalker. second of all you wouldn't stand a chance against edward, and third of all edward may not be real but rob pattinson is, even though i think taylor lautner is hotter.

How is Edward not a stalker? He comes in at night and watches Belle sleep. That's not stalkerish? And he oils her fricking windows.
And I would because he'd be too busy worrying about his hair.
And no, Edward's not real, but Rob's too busy getting high with Kirsten to come after some girl who hates him.

Put yourself in Bella's shoes. If you were her, you would want to be a vampire too.
