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.
