I also had a hard time picturing a lot of the setting and the action in my head as well. what's worse than is the fact that even with all that unnecessary description of him and everyone else (though mostly him, since Bella is that shallow) I still had a hard time picturing him or any of the characters in my head, for that matter. I know I said up there that I got sick of reading about how gorgeous some part of Edward's body was every other paragraph. seriously, all the purple prose made me want to throw the book across the room. every single one of them was a flat, cardboard cut-out that did not seem realistic at all. I could go on and on about all the characters. It was completely UNNECESSARY!! Okay, we get the fact that he's hot, Bella. I also hated the fact that Bella described some part of his body every other page. And I hate Mary Sues.Įdward- Okay, this boy is just way too possessive and stalkerish (it is not romantic of him to sneak into Bella's room and watch her sleep! It's creepy and wrong!) Oh, and 'bad boys' usually don't sit there and say 'I'm dangerous, stay away' etc. if that's the case then why are there several guys fawning over her? (And, according to Meyer, one of them is a teacher. Not to mention the fact that she is apparently very 'plain' looking. I would have loved for Meyer to have given her a backbone, so she could have done something useful instead of whining and doing stupid, idiotic things that no remotely intelligent teenage girl would actually do. She was also a clumsy little damsel in distress who was dumb enough to get herself into situations that she couldn't get out of. I mean, come on, NO girl should be that dependent on a boy, not only is that pathetic, but it is very unhealthy. She was the worst female protagonist I have ever read about! She's stupid, shallow, selfish and just plain annoying! Not to mention she's pathetically dependent on Edward. I would love it just like everyone else, but I was very, very wrong.Ī lot of fans wonder why I hate the book so much and here is my list and it's a pretty long one, so get ready:īella- Okay.

I'm one of those people who likes a lot of popular things, Twilight was popular, so I figured. Though, let me tell you that I really wanted to like it, really I did. Let me first say that I am a huge romance and vampire/supernatural fan, so when I first heard about the book I was really excited to read it because it combined two of my favorite genres.īut, I really regret ever buying and forcing myself to finish it (I hate not finishing books, even if I hate them), it was so bad.

I mean, so many people had recommended it to me and I finally got sick of hearing about it, so I picked it up and read it.

Okay, I have to say that I picked this book up partly due to all the hype (and partly because it's involved two of my favorite genres).
