The reason that Twilight is bad is because of the way that it's written; HOWEVER, that style of writing that's simple. It's good for people. Like she said - it's a gateway book. People who aren't readers, start READING. Which is awesome. With Twilight, everything you need to know is written right there on the page. You don't have to read into it. That doesn't do it for me. I like my stories with more depth, but you can't expect everyone to look at everything they read as more than just a story.

Also, how well something sells or how popular it is is not a necessary guarantee of its quality. There is plenty of good stuff that is popular, however, JUST because something is popular, that doesn't necessitate its quality. Ever noticed that it's the best TV shows which are constantly on the precipice of cancellation?

The characters in Twilight are not well-written. Bella is a character that has been created with the intention to appeal to teenage girls; without giving her much of a personality, Meyer has created her such that teenage girls can envision themselves as her. As far as I'm concerned? That is not good writing. That will never be. Now, whether you like it or not? That's your opinion. It's subjective. But that doesn't have to mean it's good characterization.

I feel like your telling my story.

@noodle4pancakes Well I don't know you so it doesn't matter to me. What does Mayers and Twilight got to do with Buffy. Buffy doesn't sparkle Edward does and Buffy slays vampires that's why they call her the vampire slayer. All Edward does is have sex with his human girlfriend. The vampires in Twilight are not like Buffy or vampires in Buffy and don't be sorry cause I didn't pick up on it to be happy. I picked on it because I had something sarcastic to say about it. ahahah

@bfsd150 Whether I am cool or not now will not matter in 15 years, if that matters to you then that's fine. I happen to like Dracula and other classical vampire werewolf stories but if you really want to pick on how Mayers portrays vampires I think you need to go all the way back to Buffy first. Writers/movie producers are putting there own twists on stories all the time now. The book isn't logical, lots of things aren't. I'm sorry you have to pick on things to be happy.

@noodle4pancakes and these things don't matter? really? wow, and kids are allowed to read these books or watch the movies. i mean i realize the books are written like a child but still.

@noodle4pancakes yeah yeah like its cool that Stephanie Mayers ruined the vampire/werewolf legacy with her boring romance story and her stalking sparklehead vampire boy, like no real girl wouldn't get up and call the police if she woke up and saw a glittering man her room watching her and like no real girl would refuse to be carried up a tree with the bugs and let her boyfriend suck her pussy, suck me a winner Eddy, what type of girl wouldn't want to jump off a cliff to see her boyfriends face

Why does being cool matter, why does what's popular matter? I liked the book, I actually stopped reading after New Moon (she got a tad bit too whinny, and when I heard she got preggers I was upset, that makes no sense...) But I also like John Greens Books. I also like books like Wuthering Heights and I read Shakespeare plays for fun. Am I not a nerd? I am a nerd, and I like the book Twilight. People need to grow up and understand, you like what you like. (I also find Alex Day hilarious)
