My friend and I usually have the same taste in books. She loved Twilight. When she loaned me her copy of Twilight, I anticipated it to be an amazing novel.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The plot holes. There were so many plot holes in Twilight. For example, were the kids at Forks High so stupid that they didn’t notice the Cullens’ eye color changing? Or how Edward and his family skipped school every time there was a sunny day? Didn’t they ever brush against a Cullen by accident, and realize how cold and hard their skin was? Why didn’t Carlisle Cullen ever think of homeschooling? I could go on forever? Why did 5 guys fall in love with Bella in Forks, while she had NO guy attention in Phoenix?
The characters where completely unoriginal. They ALL fit into a stereotype. Bella was the typical “weak” female, with no redeeming qualities. Edward was the hot guy, Mike/Eric/Tyler/ were the guys that had crushes on Bella, with no other parts to their personalities. Alice was the bubbly shopoholic, Lauren was the jealous queen bee. NONE of them had anything more to their personalities.
The superficiality of Edward and Bella’s relationship. He liked her, because she smelled good. She liked him because he was gorgeous. That’s all to their relationship. It’s nothing about personality.
The writing style. Stephenie Meyer kept elaborating about Edward’s looks .It makes the reader want to hurl. Also, Stephenie Meyer adds impressive vocab to make herself sound smart. (I have no problem with impressive vocab, it’s just the way it doesn’t even fit in the story)
Why does Edward watch Bella sleep? Doesn’t anyone realize how twisted that is? That’s not love. That’s creepy obsesssion.
Bella has nothing at all to her personality. She was supposed to be plain, yet guys are all over her. She flirts with Jacob, and then blows him off for Edward.
Don’t read Twilight if you value your time. Read Anne Rice.
