One of the worst things I've ever read. SERIOUSLY. Including fanfiction written by prepubescent girls. Ms Meyer is obviously living her wet dream through her awful awful book.
 The writing is horrible. The plagiarism is also horrible. It feels as if the author is writing with a thesaurus in hand, using synonyms without even knowing if the specific synonym fits. I feel compelled to go do a word search and see how many times she used the word "chagrin". The characters are unbelievably shallow and lame and Bella Swan is the textbook definition of a Mary Sue.


Why?



Well first of all her description fits almost to the letter the face of Ms. Meyer. Secondly, her personality is horrible, which would be a character flaw in every other book but in Twilight everyone seems totally oblivious to what a shithead Bella is. Finally. HER F*CKING NAME. Bella Swan/ beautiful Swan. F*ck you. UGH.





The romance is also f*cking annoying. It's abusive, lame and shallower than the Sahara. It's basically the textbook case of a disfunctional abusive relationship. Seriously, someone watching you sleep is creepy, not romantic even if you're living together, let alone if he sneaks into your room without permission...




These, however, are not the reasons I hate "Twilight" the most. I hate it mostly because whatever feminists managed to achieve for gender equality in a century, stephanie meyer ruined in a day. The day her crap was published.



If you want a good light read about vampires go read Charlaine Harris. Don't waste your time, money and energy on this steaming pile of dog werewolf sh*t.
