Wow, an actual intelligent question regarding Twilight!.!.!. Here are the reasons why i don't like Twilight!.
1!. Cliche
2!. Mary Sue characters
3!. Bella, the main character isn't likable!. She's just stupid and disloyal (leaving her family and friends for one guy, jumping off a cliff to hear a voice)
4!. Edward is an abusive controlling stalker, yet is portrayed as perfect (destruction of property, use of force and restraint, watching her sleep)!.
5!. Vampires sparkle
6!. It's not true love!. It's lust!. Bella likes Edward because he's a sexy beast!. Edward likes Bella because she smells good!.
7!. The writer doesn't know how to use a dictionary or thesaurus!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't like Twilight for several reasons!.
1!. The writing!. It's packed with adjectives describing things and over and over!. They devote 1 page to 1 kiss!. They describe Edward's body and over!.
2!. It defies logic!. Supposedly set in the real world, it seems Stephanie Meyer's primary research source was Wikipedia!. also, many things are just so un-believable!. Bella is so clumsy she cannot get through a game of volleyball, yet can drive a truck with no problems!. Charlie lets Bella drive to Seattle with no supervision!.
3!. The Plot!. It just does not exist!. By the first few pages, it seems the plot has committed suicide or driven into a brick wall!. All it is, is Bella describing how much she loves Edward!. There is one minor obstacle and everyone lives happily ever after!. No challenge, everyone goes away happy!. No major character deaths, nothing nada!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I personally love Twilight!. Its very detailed and Persise!. I really love the romance in the novel!. The story really makes everyone who read it want to have a love like the two main characters(Bella and Edward) do!. They, have such a strong and deep connection!. Which, defiantly makes it obvious that the book is fiction!. I personally don't like fantasy, yet, I had no problem with Twilight(obviously a fantasy book!.) Some say that Twilight is very cliche, yet I disagree with this judgment!. It is just very geared towards true romantics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the book is bery bad b/c

1/ Very poor plot with holes in it like a slice of Swiss cheese,
2/ Things just don't make sense and the author doesn't even attempt to explain (I guess there is no explanation)
3/ Mary Sue and Gary Stu characters - flat, unlikable, underdeveloped
4/ Contradictions (i guess it's part of the poorly written plot)
5/ Repetitive writing
6/Bad morals
7/ To immature
8/the author is to newbe doesn't have enough experience*
9/To chiche even though it's aimed at teens way to cliche
10/takes way to long to get to the point
11/ probably just to make money
12/Guys who read it is probably gay (ppl need books for both genders not only for girls!.!.)


*good authors get rejected and try harder making the book better and gains experience that way!. S!.M!. got her first book published making it bad can't see the experience and good moral and plots!.

I first read Twilight before it became as popular as it is now, and I found no huge problems with it!. However, my fondness of the book has increasingly waned as more and more people are declaring it as "omg the bestest book ever i <3 edwarddddddd!." I now find it to be the most overrated work ever!. The literary depth of this novel truly leaves much to be desired!.

It perplexes me as to how a piece of such literary garbage can garner so much positive acclaim, not unlike Hannah Montana's terrible redneck accent and hoarse man-voice!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

well i love the twilight!. it was one of the best book i have ever read and i read alot!. it had fantasic characters that i got know and love!. it was like reading about another world which i would love to live in!. the romance was really good and it is different from every other story i have read!.

Actually, there are more and more haters now!. I mean, people are getting an EDUCATION and realizing that, OMG, this book SUCKS!

Reasons to hate: [applying to the entire series]
1!. Edward!. What the hell is this crap!? He's a stalker!. He's perfect!. He *sparkles!.* Wow!. He's also a wuss!. Gary Stu to the extreme!. Flat, flat, flat!. Oh, and his actions would probably get hiim a restraining order in the real world, like an answerer said on another question earlier!.
2!. Bella!. Flat!. So damn plain, yet so Mary Sue-like!. She's the girl that everyone loves, but she's also the girl that has no qualities!. She cooks and cleans!. She reads!. That's IT!. She NEEDS Edward!. Without him she's INCOMPLETE!. Her character is so anti-feminist that I want to CRY!.
3!. The writing is just plain terrible!. It's written like mediocre fanfiction!. You know what!? It's written like BAD fanfiction!. How many times, exactly, does SM include details that are completely unnecessary!? LIke, say, repeating how HAWT AND SPARKLING AND BRONZE-HAIREDLY GORGEOUS Edward is only about a million times!? And how many times does she use 'chagrin' or 'grimace'!? You'd think she doesn't know what a thesaurus is!.
4!. The other characters are plain annoying and have exaggerated qualities!. They're all Mary Sues/Gary Stus as well!. I doubt SM knows what 'chracter flaws' are!.
5!. Like the answerer above said, the plot is nonexistent and cliche!. I think this is self-explanatory!.

Oh, and I've noticed something incredibly depressing!. All the lovers disregard grammar and are obssessed with exclamation marks, while the haters actually have good grammar, quality reasoning and talk mostly calmly and rationally!. That says a lot about what kind of people like the books and what kind hate them!.

**Edit
I have more hates!. But I'm tired and want to sleep!. =] My ranting could take awhile!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
