I think it's fine for a guy to read Twilight- it's not that great of a book, but hey
it gets people to read
that being said- almost all of the characters were ridiculous and unlikeable
Bella is annoying and too "perfect"- she's smart and pretty and slender and an endearing klutz whom all the boys somehow like, and she's so...ARGH.
Edward is a jerk. I don't understand why all the girls like him- my ex was a lot more fun to be around. Edward is bossy and manipulative and ....
Personally, I didn't think the series was well written. There are tons of times where Edward will go on for like ten pages at a time doing nothing but providing background, and the spacing of the entire novel is spotty.
Sparkling vampires are ridiculous. And the vampire baseball thing is stupid too. What would happen if someone accidentally shoved Edward into Emmett or something? Would there be a loud bang? And how did they get birth certificates and social security numbers and such? O_o;;
If anyone else in this thread likes vampires, they should read Sunshine by Robin McKinley. It's a good, dark, much more realistic book with a main character I loved, and Con > Edward anyday.

Okay, Bella is not "PERFECT" and the book never said she was PERFECT that is just your mind telling you this. Bella is a real person to me, because most novels about teenage love are about sporty, popular girls with everyone at their feet or socially awkward geek girls. I'm tired of all those books because they just don't feel real. There are not many books out their about REAL girls. I can relate more to Bella than a sporty blonde chick.
Edward is not bossy. But you are aloud to have your own opinion.
And birth cetificates and social security numbers you've got to be kidding. Anyone, with enough hacking ability can get those. And anyway, there are lots more novels out there that have a huger "how the hell do they do that" factor.
About your Sparkling vampires point, who ever said that vampires are coffin sleeping things. It is your own imagination that creates these things and the fact is that lots of people have different ideas on certain creatures. If everyone thought along the same lines, we would be in a totally boring world, don't you think?
