Hm. Why do I hate it?
Because vampires sparkle!!!ooeneone......No. If that's the only reason one hates the book, then ugh. --;
I've read the first book.
It's tastless, really. There's no cohesive plot that gets my attention. Perhaps that's becasue I have taste in reading materials.
Oh, big stickler is that Stephenie Meyer pretty much violated all the rules she should have learned in her Young Women's courses. Way to leave this Mormon disgusted. :/

I started hating Twilight when Breaking Dawn was released and everyone was humping the book, praising it's excellence and all that s**t... and I read Entertainment Weekly, a magazine which seems to be Twitarded, which had a lot of annoying crap on Twilight when BD was released as well.

Well, I used to be a major Twitard. Yet unlike a lot of Twilight fans, I was vaguely aware of the sexism and abuse, I would notice it and think "Wait... That's not how a relationship should be, is it?" And brush it off completely concluding, "If it was so bad why would anyone like the book?"
After reading Breaking Dawn I started analyzing the books and realized they really were crap, in both literary and moral senses.
While reading it I sort of forgot they were vampires because it didn't make much sense to me that they sparkled. I didn't get why that was much of a problem, couldn't they just say they liked body glitter?
So yeah, that's what made me hate it.

I was neutral at first... I gradually got more and more pissed at the writing style. Then in the first third of the book it suddenly clicked that it was all sexual and no horror (like vampires should be). I grew impatient and looked at all the bad, seeing more and more until the end. I thought it would end when Edward tried to kill her, like the beginning suggested, but when I realized they just went to prom I was so pissed I decided that from then on I would dedicate my life to destroying the series in every way possible. The same day I went on a rant about how terrible it was. Amazing, huh?

I also concur. The first part of the book I read was the middle when I randomly skipped to the part where he sparkled. I was M-A-D.

This is a quote from the book. Quote: And then another problem, one that I'd remembered from the small number of scary movies that I'd seen and was backed up by today's reading -- vampires couldn't come out in the daytime, the sun would burn them to a cinder. They slept in coffins all day and came out only at night. Aggravated, I snapped off the computer's main poser switch, not waiting to shut things down properly. Through my irritation, I felt overwhelming embarrassment. It was all so stupid. I was sitting in my room, researching vampires. What was wrong with me? I highlited it and wrote on the side: Sounds like Meyer's revelation! Also: I wrote a paragraph in the beginning over the intro you might know very well. Where she says "and the hunter sauntered forward to kill me" or something or other. Quote: When you give away the end to a story, the reader becomes eager to get to the end. But when the "end" is not even part of the story -- and nothing like it -- it really pisses off the reader, if they remembered the beginning. But if they DIDN'T, then the desire they felt to get to the end they explain as a good story. (Readers Psychology 101) This explains one of the reasons I hate it.

I can't remember when I started hating twilight, to be honest. I was a terrible twitard for almost year. I read the first book when my dad dragged our family to a vacation at Lake Geniva. Nobody had fun. The highlight was watching a couple drunk guys fight outside from the window. Then, my parents went shopping and brought back Breaking Dawn for my sister, who had read the series, and had the first book with her. {This was a few days after BD came out, btw.} So, for lack of better things to do, I read the first book there. Big mistake. I adored the series for no apparent reason. I got a bunch of twilight s**t: t-shirts, pins, etc. Nobody at school liked the books, so the fact that I read a 'vampire' series, I was a gothic/emo girl. After Christmas, the liking for the series started to fade, and I my interest in the series began to decline, and it might for anyone who has read a series about 8 times. So for X-mas, I got a bunch of twilight crap and nothing else. I was pretty ticked off about that. It also seemed that the less I liked the series, the more other girls I know did. That happens a lot with me. I like something way before veryone else, I kind of grow out of it, and then everyone else absolutly adores it, and they act like they liked it first. Now all those girls who called me gothic/emo love it, and nobody ever calls them that. I guess that's why I first hated twilight. Once I joined this guild, I learned many more reasons.

I liked it at first, when I was once young, desperate and unintelligent. But then, I began reading better Vampire novels, got the best fiance I could ever ask for, and researched more on vampirism, and understood that this novel was a piece of s**t. That and the fact that all those little children started popping up everywhere and claiming they were the most original fans and being annoying as hell.

At the beggining, when I started to dislike Twilight is because of the stupid fan base. Having thousands of "OMGZ DO U LEIK TWILIGHT!?" and "EDWAD IZ LEIK SO HAAWWT!" spammed everywhere on the interwebs isn't so nice. Then my friend paid me to read the whole series (Friend is a Twilight fan, and she is convinced that everyone will LOVE Twilight once they've read it). I was not satisfied, so the books made me dislike it more. But mainly because of the unintellegent fans, they piss me off. o3o

1. The annoying FanGirls. 2.Bella's a F'n moron 3.The book set women back to the 1930's 4.Edward should be on DateLine:To Catch a Predator 5. The books were written badly. Green Eggs and Ham was more entertaining then that piece of crap of a book. 6.Who ever heard of a sparkling vampire? 7.The movie. 'nuff said. 8.The writer doesn't know jack s**t about vampires. Vampires that walk in the day are usually part human. 9.Now everybody's expectation of a vampire is to look like you stepped out of an Aberchrombie & Fitch catalog 10. SERIOUSLY, SPARKLING VAMPIRES??????
