I hate to be a hater, but frankly the Twilight series is rubbish. As an author, Stephenie Meyer has no skill whatsoever. Her plots are virtually non-existent, her characters are two-dimensional and undergo no character development whatsoever throughout the series and her writing style is not dissimilar from that of a fourteen-year-old fanfiction writer. She even breaks the number one rule of writing: SHOW, DON'T TELL.
Then there is the storyline itself, which is a load of sexist, bigoted, heteronormative crap teaching girls that they should objectify themselves and that they are helpless without a man. It also presents the notion that it is okay for a girl to manipulate the people around her in order to gain the man she wants. Not only this, but the relationship her protagonist has with Edward Cullen is psychologically unsound on so many levels it's absurd.
The films are no better.
I know that a lot of people love the Twilight series, and normally I would say that what you like is a mere matter of taste and therefore none of my business, but I truly believe that this author is presenting such dangerous notions to teenage girls that the weak excuse for literature that is the Twilight series should be banned.
Don't take this personally. I mean no offence whatsoever to those who follow and enjoy the series.
i would NEVER say that.
