Aug. 16, 2008
Written by Phoenix native Stephenie Meyer, the popularity of the young-adult series comprised of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the newly-released Breaking Dawn has reached critical mass. With a Twilight film adaptation coming to theaters this winter and an opening day’s sales of 1.3 million books for her latest installment, Meyer can be left with no doubt of her success. From a first-time novelist to a mainstay on the best sellers list, she has risen through the ranks like a veritable juggernaut.
But why? To figure out why the books were inspiring legions of fans and a dozen fan-sites (including the recently hacked Twilight Lexicon), I read the books myself to see what’s what.
To put it simply, dear reader, I was horrified. Not just by the sickeningly purple prose or the lack of general writing quality, but the books themselves are insulting on every level-as a woman, as a teenager, as a literature student, and as a graduate of the Harry Potter craze. What’s worse is that so few seem to realize it.
Twilight is the story of the so-called “average” new girl Bella Swan (Ha, ha, get it? Beautiful Swan?), who finds herself as the object of not one, not two, but a total of five boys’ romantic designs (because she’s so “plain”, see?). The most important of these is the mysterious, hilariously-Byronic Edward Cullen. Bella plays the pitiful damsel in distress a few times and after 200 pages of thinly written suspense, we learn that Edward is in fact a vampire. Never fear, though, because Bella’s “Adonis-like” admirer is no Nosferatu. Instead, he and his vampire family are so-called “vegetarian” vampires, feeding off of animals instead of humans and inexplicably attending high school (during lunch periods they buy trays of food and stare at each other so that Bella can conveniently get a glimpse of Edward from across the cafeteria). The first novel deals with Bella and Edward’s romance and is capped off by a hastily tacked-on plot designed to shove Bella into the damsel in distress role yet again so that her vampire lover can save her.
Okay, you’re saying. It’s a little cheesy. But why is that so bad?
First and foremost, the books present a female heroine who can hardly take a step without needing some boy to rescue her. In fact, the books represent sexist views in almost every way-from the fact that Bella gives up her ambitions and plans for college to get married to Edward, the fact that she is portrayed as a modern Eve, begging the noble, moral gentleman for sex while he desires to preserve their virtue, the fact that their relationship is dangerously unhealthy, and finally to the fact that nearly every single female character in the book is a hopelessly negative caricature.
The series does not improve with subsequent books, either. In New Moon, Bella enters a self-described “zombie” state when Edward leaves her. In fact, the author oh-so-cleverly inserts blank pages with the months’ names as a poorly conceived plot device for showing the depths of her heroine’s pain and also to avoid having to write the “hard stuff.” Bella turns near-suicidal; she purposely puts herself in harm’s way-going so far as to jump off a cliff-to hear her lover’s imagined voice in her head.
What does this say to readers, bearing in mind that the target audience is the tragically impressionable 12-17 year old girls? That they should fall apart at the seams for months if their boyfriend leaves them? That reckless self-endangerment is okay, so long as it’s to be close to your lover? What a lovely message to send to young women.
The sole bright spot of New Moon is the lovable Jacob Black, a member of the nearby La Push reservation and newly-turned werewolf. It is in Bella’s scenes with Jacob that readers see a glimpse of actual personality, and the burgeoning romance is certainly much more true to real-life teen romances than the lofty ideals of the star cross’d lovers Edward and Bella. But add another half-forgotten plot into the mix and Edward and Bella are reunited, with Jacob left by the wayside like a kicked puppy. Pun intended.
Eclipse. It is in this tome that Edward and Bella’s relationship takes a decidedly worse turn. Edward goes so far as to remove Bella’s engine from her car to prevent her from seeing her friend, Jacob, and even has his vampire ‘sister’ kidnap her from a weekend. Bella is a little peeved at this, sure, but she writes off Edward’s atrocious behavior with the terrifying “he’s just a little overprotective” and “he does it because he loves me”. Reader, I actually felt a little sick while reading this, despite these so-called good intentions (they’re always leading to hell, remember). Not only does Meyer give her two characters an obviously unhealthy-even abusive-relationship, but she romanticizes and idealizes it, and not only with Bella and Edward, but with Bella and Jacob as well.
Jacob, in fact, gets a bizarre personality transplant (lycanthropic dissociative identity disorder, maybe?) and turns into a real asshole in this book. He actually forcibly kisses Bella-twice-while ignoring her protests and actually threatens suicide should Bella refuse him. But not once does the thought of abuse, sexism, or inequality even occur to her main character! In fact, halfway through Jacob’s forced kiss (sexual assault, mind you) Bella actually decides that she’s in love with him. What is this??
I threw down my copy of Eclipse in disgust and I was ready to forget that the books existed until the Twilight-mania began anew in the lead-up to August 2nd‘s release of Breaking Dawn. I can write this article just having read the first three, I told myself. In the end, though, partly due to morbid curiosity and partly a result of wildly irrational hope that somehow Meyer would redeem herself, I gave in.
I was wrong. In Breaking Dawn, Meyer gives us an honestly bewildering and at times horrifying close to the series. The several hundred pages are filled with sickly-sweet self-indulgence and a blatant dismissal of continuity and realism. In brief, Bella and Edward get horizontal at long last (but only after they’re married, of course-we can’t have the naughty temptress taking away Edward’s 107 year-old virginity) and Bella somehow gets pregnant. Please, Meyer says, never mind the fact that all the vampires’ body fluids are replaced with their ‘venom’ or that sperm dies after three days, much less a century. Even more fantastically, the vampire/human spawn grows at an alarming rate, so fast in fact that Bella feels it “nudging” her at approximately two weeks of gestation. Now, I’ve never been pregnant but I did take health class back in high school and I’m pretty sure that there’s something wrong with that picture.
I’ll spare you the details of the rest of this horror show. Trust me, the birthing scene is something I desperately wish I could un-see (after the loosely-called ‘baby’ breaks Bella’s pelvis, spine, and ribs from the inside, Edward ends up clawing his way to a surely-unsanitary vampire version of a Caesarian section using his teeth). I’m sorry. I had to share my pain. Bella becomes a super-special vampire with super-special powers and she wins the not-conflict of the not-climax. And don’t forget her nifty ability to go hunting in a forest in a cocktail dress and heels.
Thankfully, the ‘Twilight’ series is over. Not as great is the fact that millions of girls are reading this sexist tripe without a care in the world, obsessing over the “perfect” Edward Cullen and the “hot” Jacob Black, pretending to be Bella Swan and ignoring the unhealthiness of the relationship just as successfully as the character does. What happened that two hundred years after feminist hero Elizabeth Bennet is put down on the page, we get one of the most awful excuses for a female literary hero that I’ve ever seen?
So frankly, excuse me if I bow out of the Twilight mania. I’m going to go sink my teeth into Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and pretend that Stephenie Meyer’s terrible series did not set gender equality back two hundred years in the minds of millions.

ok seriously all u twilight haters r immature…heres a smart thought 4 all of u who hate twilight so much …stop wasting your time going on websites to talk about sumthin dat u hate it only makes us (twilightlovers) know dat u have no lifes..LOL
PEACE
TEAM EDWARD 4 LIFE
& IM NOT ASHAMED OF IT!!
Ok, I just have to comment after reading “Mrs Cullen”‘s post – for starters – the Twilight books are so abysmally written that it is actually painful to read them. The vampire loves human premise can be worked with but Meyer’s writing ability and her choice of plot is shocking. Bella screams Mary-Sue in every line and Edward? Well, he’s one step away from wife beater.
Second – MRS CULLEN – a little advice. If you’re going to pick a fight about the literary value of a book then a) don’t do it with a writer and b) learn how to spell, not use chavvy “text-speak” and claim yourself as the wife of a fictional character.
To the writer of this article – I cried with laughter, everything you said was true.
Ok, I do admit I loved the New Moon movie for its lush use of nature-photography and I loved the wolf’s designs but Bella is such a stupid little girl that seriously I have always wondered why Edward and Jacob really love her.
I understand their aggression towards each other as both of them are blood-bound enemies and that was a cool aspect of the book. But that’s the point Meyer’s movies are doing better than her books because annoying Bella isn’t talking in them. Bella patronizes everyone and I feel bad for her so-called golden retriever friend because seriously he looks genuine.
I won’t lie some scenes in the movie I did love and were exciting but they didn’t include Bella or her hormonal crazed relationship with Edward. And the author of this article is right Bella screams damsel so badly that I could literally vomit. In fact, I felt she should have a relationship with Alice; who seems actually great than Mr. Asshole Cullen. In fact, Edward does nothing – true I did like the scene of their reunion minyus hormonal petting/kissing and I found some dimension in the Volturi and the scenes which feature the Volturi and them interacting but that’s the thing! I found myself cheering on the antagonist Victoria and found Bella’s depression something like poverty porn.
I loved Jacob’s sensitivities but even in the film he acts too rough at times. In fact I would only rewatch the movie to see him. Bella abuses him – literally- saying Edward is only the one and stuff. I mean the guy loves you and is there for you I mean Edward is so screwed that he didn’t take care of anything and though understandable his “breaking up” with Bella it kinda becomes screwed rather than compassionate.
I don’t also get Meyer’s anti-human shit. She wants Bella to be vulnerable ’cause she’s human but still give her awesome powers! @_@
And I don’t mind the cocktail dress and shoes that did pique my interest a bit because that is something dashing that I couldn’t imagine Bella stupid to have but I did like the cinematography of the movie but I found myself lured more by a subplot.
Twilight had good concepts in fact concepts that I love Vampires, Werewolves, Secret Societies but as someone said that this becomes a backdrop for Edward/Bella romance which is so superficial that I felt vomiting over them. Edward should just lay Jacob.
Though I am curious to see Eclipse for what happens next I am not dying for it. Visually speaking the movies are beautiful and that’s the only temptation. Bella’s idiocy is stupid – the cliffhanger of the second movie was good but would only apply if the answer wasn’t so obvious.
And why does Bella have to be a vampire? I mean can’t she remain human.
What I did admire about the movie was they showed some gruesomeness of werewolves and to be honest I agree with the writer the genuine forbidden love angle would actually be with Jacob as their relationship is genuine. But as usual even abuse is put into a light pat on the back.
Emily’s face is screwed as she shows no resentment of it. She kisses her fiancée as though everything is peachy. God, when the world loose its common sense.
Overall, Twilight had potential – it still had good concepts but it was shallow. I’d only see the movies to entertain myself when I want entertainment that is superficial but visually nice and to laugh at Bella and Edward’s suffering and hope Victoria does kill them all. Overall, as a story with good plot it sucks.
^_^
At the risk of sounding completley childish, can’t we all get along? Twilight’s not my cup of tea, but if you like it then I won’t hold it against you. It has done some good things (Yes, I hear you haters ask ‘what?’) it has gotten people back into literature and also created a new genre (paranormal romance) also not my cup of tea, but, meh.
I don’t think there is anything either side can say to change the other side’s mind in this matter. If you believe Edward is a controlling, abusive stalker, good for you. If you think he’s the best thing since sliced bread, fine. But seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and if that opinion means raping people, then it must be stopped. If it’s your opinion of a novel, then live and let live.
You know,I think you went way to much into that sexist part…I mean,I just think you should have payed more attention to the book itself,like the atrocious writing style and so on….I speak simply as a fellow literatue student
Oh,and by the way,the birthing scene is the only scene I really enjoyed in the series,has that primal Clive Barker carnage to it….
Book Freak, I don’t remember anyone raping someone over Twilight. I think you’re blowing it out of proportion.
Anyway, opinions can be wrong. Edward has shown several signs of being abusive, and he is a stalker. Also, how can Twilight get people back into literature when it isn’t literature? Oh, and sadly, no. We can’t all get along. I wish we could, but we can’t.
As a business major, there was only one thing I could think about after I got tricked into watching the awful movie (I have not read the book, but it sounds worse). I couldn’t stop thinking about the fabulous amount of money they made from making that horrible excuse for a film. Take a few unknown actors, throw them in a few cheap sets somewhere in Vancouver (it is cheaper to film there) with no special effects…. and get millions off stupid teenage girls in merchandising and movie tickets. Now that’s brilliant.
I COMPLETELY AGREE W/ MRS.CULLEN
IMMATURE IDIOTS
TWILIGHT IS ABT A BEAUTIFUL, PASSIONATE, AND MOVING DECISION THAT LEADS TO A THRILLING STORY OF A “*PLAIN*” GIRL
AND I TOO AM IN TEAM EDWARD FOR LIFE
SO STOP BASHING HIM
I LOVE HIM
you said to stop making articles that say twilight sucks but maybe the fans shoud stop making articles that say twilight is awesome Becouse BOTH of them are annoying
@teamed: I’m sorry, I couldn’t understand half of what you were saying. By the way, ever heard of freedom of speech? Also, people might take you more seriously if you didn’t have everything in all caps.
Oh well… I really knew that there are no absolutely the same tastes of two different people. Somebody likes twilight somebody doesn’t. But there are a lot of fake-haters, which are doing in fo lulz. That’s my appinion. Yep, and sorry my English, ???? ?? ?? ????? ????? ?? ???????? ?? ?????? ?????????? ???? ??.
And what you’ll say about ‘Avatar’, I wonder?
ZOMG!
twilight is cooler than u!
lyk, ur just jelous that your not a vampvamp!
To kanick:
PPPPP”. (I feel ashamed for having written that.) Yes, you can do what you want, but don’t expect anyone to take you seriously if you can’t even spell “like.”
How old are you? If you’re in middle school or below, I fear for your future English grades. I have several friends who use chat speak so much that they can barely spell. If you’re in high school, I feel sorry for your English teachers (and other teachers, for that matter). If you’re anywhere above that… Well, this goes to all of you who are thinking “dis is jus intrnet i can do w/e i want
Anyway, kanick, “twilight is cooler than u”? First, you don’t even know who you’re talking to. For all I know, you’re a lazy couch potato who spends all day watching their computer monitor so that they know the moment that an alert from a thread comes in. Second, I find it hard to believe that 400 pages of “edward is sooooooooo prettyful!!!!1!!” can be cooler than anyone.
Yes, there was a time when I was a big fan of Twilight, when I just turned thirteen. In fact, before that time, I thought my friends were being silly for fawning over a book. I insisted that Harry Potter was way better than Twilight (an opinion which I still hold now). Then I wasted $60-$80 on the series and, more importantly, six months of my life that I can never get back.
To Book Freak: I agree, there isn’t much that you can say to convince the other side to change their opinion, but there IS a chance that they’ll grow out of their obsession (I did.), but that takes time. All but one of my friends grew out of their obsessions, too, and that one friend only mildly likes Twilight now. If you really want to get someone out of their obsession, you could try having them read REAL romantic literature (ex. Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet, or, if you want to start out small, get Vampire Academy and work your way up from there – VA was the trigger that slowly made me realize that, yes, there IS better literature than Twilight), or any literature, for that matter.
Back to you, kanick: “vampvamp”? Seriously? If you’d even simply said just “vamp”, that would’ve made it slightly better. And, no, I am not jealous that I am not a “vampvamp.” The closest that I’ll ever get to drinking blood, animal or human, is from the meat juice from steaks. I actually like being out in the sun, thank you very much, and I wouldn’t like to spend that time sparkling or burning. And, yes, I adore sleeping.
By the way, sorry to break it to you, but vampires don’t exist. Sorry.
here’s another article in the same vein.
http://seriousstache.com/2010/04/04/serious-stache-film-in-review-twilight-new-moon/
This article sums up my complaints about the “Twilight” series for the most part. To be perfectly honest, I loved the series when it first came out. What turned me off was the big to do over the movie and the last book. It seemed like everyone got into it then. Unfortunately, I happened to go to an all-girl’s high school and so got sick of the blatant worship of the series. I never could speak my mind because I feared for my life.
To all the little Twihards:
Why do you want a guy who stalks you or takes your car apart so you can’t see someone because the guy said so? Why do you want someone who is so bipolar, it’s not even funny. Edward is supposed to be the new Byronic hero, but why? He has everything his dead little heart desires, and yet he broods and has a martyr complex the size of Jupiter. He has no reason to feel this way.
Compare Edward to Lestat and you get blown away: Edward is emotionally abusive and generally flat with an over-sized ego and is prone to bizarre, random moodswings and never seems happy. Then there’s Lestat… where do I even begin? He’s a narcissistic megalomaniac who thrives on being an attention whore who borders on being a snotty, arrogant douchebag. What’s important is the HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS. Anne Rice wrote his personality this way on purpose. He even lampshades it himself by going off on tangents about how pretty he is. The biggest thing for me is that Lestat doesn’t sparkle, he doesn’t have to, he’s just that awesome.
There you have it, if you want to read vampire fiction, read Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles”. Just try it and see how much better vampires can be.
By the way, Edward Cullen… David Bowie called, he wants his glitter back.
okay twilight fans, if your going to complain about articles like this then why do you come on them. obviously YOU have no lives if your searching the internet to tell people about how they dont have lives.
the book isnt about vampiers its about fairys.
I just want to know if the twilight lovers have nothing better to do that google twilight stucked just to find people to tel they are haters?
All I can say is WOW! That article was outstanding! Also, I have to disagree with some of these people who have felt the need to express their opinion, oh joy (Not that I don’t respect their opinion, but they are getting too far into this!). We understand it’s fiction: Vampires and werewolves don’t exist. I understand this is the internet, but we still have freedom of speech.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
It sums up the definition of what freedom of speech is.
ANYWAY, I thought about the influence on girls around early teens. I asked my 12 year old neice, who absolutely loves Twilight (bleh)whom she would want to be. She non-hesitantly yelled Bella. When I asked her why, she blantly said, “She has Edward and Jacob! I want them both too!” I then asked her about the girls in her grade, and how they feel. She said, “Brittany said hi, and they love Jacob.” I asked why, and she said HE’S SHIRTLESS A LOT! That just freaked me out. Frankly, I don’t think just because a guy is shirtless and he so happens to be “adorable” that he should be judged on his looks. He turns into quite a jerk in New Moon, but I asked some girls, and they forgive him. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! They don’t like Edward or Jacob. They like Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, proving another point! They say Jacob Black is hot, when in fact, they don’t know that. They don’t know who Jacob Black is, and they ASSURINGLY don’t know his appearance.
Anyway, I can’t continue. I have probably crossed the line, and will have Twilight fangirls all over my back. I’m practically stepping on hot rocks right now. Need I say it: I LOVED this article to itty-bitty pieces! I was disgusted by the fact that some people disagree 100% with this article. I believe they put in facts that could be agreeable with all of the sides. -TwiFans, Twilight mediums, and TwiHaters alike!-
-Don’t get on my back about this, It is purely opinion-based,
-Don’t reply with anything bad to say, unless there is some good with it!
-I love this article, just try to change my opinion… IT WON’T WORK!
-I understand the quantity of CAPS in this comment. I usually don’t mean yelling in this, so don’t yell back!
-Don’t be offended by this TwiFans, I applaud you for sticking with this offense to non-literature.
-TwiHaters, don’t tip over a car in revolt. (YET!)
-HAVE A NICE DAY/NIGHT/EVENING/AFTERNON/MORNING/BIRTHDAY/SUNDAY-SATURDAY/WHATEVER!
- TIMELESS… OUT!
@Composer13:
Thank you very much! Really, people? We have nothing better to do than sit around on the computer saying TwiHaters have no life, and they wish they were a “vampvamp”… (points to Kanick). Sorry, but I don’t see how I could POSSIBLY want to be a “vampvamp” (which is actually more likely to be a fairy!), and would want to be a “sparkly killing machine”. Hunters do the same thing every day, except they eat the animal, not just drink their petty blood! May I say, Composer13, I agree with you totally, and I’m glad someone has the courage to stand up for their beliefs.
Seriously? SERIOUSLY “mrs. cullen”? and you tell people who hate twilight to have a life? do you mean you have one? you call yourself mrs cullen, you probably waste hours a day (if not the whole day) thinking about how much you love a person, sorry, a vampire who doesn’t even exists and you say you have a life? you call yourself a twilightlover and you are calling people immature? you call your thought smart yet you are wasting time in an anti-twilight website to talk about something you hate (and that would be people who hate twilight in case you’re not following). Did you really think through your comment? Just for the record, I don’t hate twilight, I just think it’s really stupid, I read, I liked it for a while, and I got over it, and so should you. And by the way, please get a life.
PEACE
one more thing, I’m really ashamed for once liking twilight, thank you kellen rice for opening my eyes, people who call themselves twilightlovers really freak me aut, I’m afraid for the future of humanity
For the love of… I swear I facepalmed the idiotic Twilight fans’ comments. Okay here goes, I don’t want to be a grammar nazi but…
MsCullen: Seriously? You think haters are immature? For expressing themselves? Freedom of speech, madam. Although I would prefer it to be restricted to people who can write English, not txting L33T crap. Please! And if Stephanie Meyer is literature, then Shakespear is crap (not happening). You think I’m jealous of her because she’s famous? Why would I be jealous of a person who writes about emo,gay,sparkling vampires (also her sexual fantasy)? I would rather prefer to not have so much money and “fame” that gets me all smug and crap.
teamed: Dude seriously, learn to write without pressing/raping “Caps Lock”. No, it doesn’t make you get your point across easily, you don’t seem “angry”, you are acting like an idiot. It makes people want to writhe in pain. I couldn’t even understand what you were trying to write.
kanick: What the F**k? How old are you? Are you even writing in proper English? No wait… crap, obviously not! Also, getting high for insulting “people with no lives” -oh but we do have a good sense of humor and can critique some random piece of crap- is not recommended. It makes you look like an idiot. My suggestion? I suggest you write in Caps Lock for every first letter in a sentence, punctuate it correctly and separate your ideas with periods, commas when needed, or other marks. If you do not know how to use a keyboard, then what the hell are you doing in the Internet?
Ink: Thank you for not raping my eyes with “Caps Lock” or “txt cHaT”. In my eyes, you are quite sane and fairly smart. But I suggest you stop reading Twilight before it poisons your mind like the other three above which I have already written about. Once you love a person for the first time, you will forget about it completely, it happened to a person I know.
I was seriously laughing out after reading this article and the comments from the hormone crazed teenagers angrily replying to the “twilighthaters”. I almost peed when I read the statement from “mrs. cullen” and the other obsessed fans expressed their thoughts. Sure, at age 17, I have read all of the Twilight books and even seen the movies, but my reason is actually logical. I read Twilight and books like it for mindless, fast paced reading. Sometimes it feels good to read a book that you don’t have to search between the lines to find the anwsers. If I want to read something with actual literature gain I will pick up my copy of Pride and Prejudice, East of Eden, White Oleander or a book by Ellen Hopkins. Twihards need to chill out, because just like the obsessive groupies for Grease, you will get over Twilight and move on with your life. After all, it’s just a book, not a biography.
a wonderful and entertaining article i must say! yes twilight is a thoroughly anti feminist and sexist!i read twilight when i was 17 and instantly fell in love with edward cullen….you see i was a hormonal teenager.i fantasized about his looks and stuff.then in the later books i realized how wrong i was….edward is a controlling,abusive stalker and is so cheesy that i want to puke….bella’s world revolves around edward only….their relationship is solely based on physical attraction and lust and nothing else…. but i did like the character of jacob black…. yes he did kiss her forcefully but only because he was desperate and wanted to do something to make bella see sense.. he was in love with her and there she was throwing away her life without thinking just so that she could be with edward forever….. so i think jacob was in some way justified in kissing her…he wants to somehow let bella stay human….so jacob was the only reason i continued reading twilight but then came the disturbing imprinting thing….it is sick and i don’t know what meyer was thinking…. is being a slave to your imprintee in any way romantic??!! and way to go meyer for ruining my favourite character’s life….is imprinting on the love of your life’s child going to solve the problem!breaking dawn was disturbing and in the end i was so grossed out that i just threw the book across the room!
overall twilight sucked but i like jacob black!
and one more thing that bugged me was how casually they speak of killing animals! mountain lions grizzly bears???!! IMO its better to kill humans than innocent animals…. humans are cropping up like mushrooms go kill them and leave my sweet innocent animals alone!!1 f**K u twilight!
apoorva, you are really gonna criticise twilight and tell peope to kill other people? the reason you didn’t like it was because edward and his crappy family killed innocent animals? join usa army or something, like people were instigated to kill animals because o their thirst for blood after reading the book. If you wanna criticise at least get some good arguments. Go hug a three inthe rain forest, join green peace, join the skinheads if yo so bad want people to die, idiot
This article was so true! But you forgot to mention the fact that Jacob is a Pedophile because he imprints on Renesmee (And her name too… ugh). Also how Bella didn’t have to lift a finger to raise the kid and how it just grew up on its own. I mean come on!
Twilight is boring… Meyer Sucks!!!! I tried reading the book really… but there’s just nothing after all those “EDWARD IS SO HOT” lines.
MEYER novels should die. And to think people (TWI-TARDS) think she’s better than J.K Rowling and Anne Rice?!!?!? ha!!!!!
ok,ok lets assuma twilight is not a big piece of crap and Meyer is an awesome writer, tell me this:
WHAT DOES EDWARD DO WHEN BELLA GETS HER PERIOD?
For you twilight lovers I feel like I have to explain that every woman has a cicle and bleed from, you know, down there.
Ifany ofyou can tell me what happens when Bella gets her period and why Edward, so unbelievebly thirsty for her blood, contains himsel from atacking her or even from atacking her bathroom trash to eat her tampons.
And, by the way, I’m brasilian, and the stuff she writes about Brasil(or Brazil if you prefer) are pure nonsense, it’s like she just invented words to sound portuguese, and by the way, they really don’t.
