I HATE TWILIGHT and its SAGA (rolls eyes)

I can't believe a writer like Stephenie Meyer has gotten this far. My nine year old brother, could write a better book then her. She is one of the worst writers I have ever come across.

Not only is she a terrible writer, which in turn dumbs down its audience. "The Twilight Saga" is a TERRIBLE STORY. PERIOD.
Why you may ask??? But Zonkie how dare you say such things about my beloved Edward??? *GASP*

My knowledge of this "saga" if by saga we mean "high school emo-love", is limited. I have gathered most of these observations from other reviewers, and the ridiculous movie which a friend of mine pirated off the net.

I had only managed to get through about 5-10 pages of the first book, "Twilight". Before rolling my eyes, and deleting it off my Kindle.


We meet Bella. The most anti-feminist "Mary Sue" heroine (if you can call her a "hero") EVER.

Here is what we know about Bella:

A. she is like, super pale
B. she is like, totally lame and spineless
C. she like, totally loves how Edward sparkles
D. she will like, totally commit suicide for Edward
E. she like, only lives for Edward, because Edward is like totally beautiful!!! *He sparkles!*

This is our heroine??? THIS is the principal protagonist of this ridiculous story???

Yep. It is. She will do anything Edward says. Why? Because he says so, and because SHE BETTER OR ELSE. hell, he loves her SO MUCH, that he is willing to threaten HER LIFE.


Now, Lets talk about Edward. Oh Edward, the vampire "hunk" girls from ages 13-45 have been salivating over. The only thing we know about this guy is that he is :

A. a vegetarian vampire???
B. he is a chauvinist
C. verbally abusive
D. a stalker
E. he sparkles....yeah....**SPARKLES**

All the qualities we women folk have always wanted in a man!

Of course, the rabid Twilighters will sputter an argument about how his domineering and creepy behavior is simply his way of "protecting" Bella. Because he "loves" her so much. In the end they lose the argument. They can't win here. The proof is in the writing and on the celluloid.

As one other reviewer concluded:

"What is Stephenie Meyer trying to convey to teenage girls? In my opinion, she's saying that love is about the protection and self-denial of women. Find a man who can protect you from the big, scary, dangerous world out there, girls, and you're all set. All you have to do to snatch the man of your dreams is give up everything that makes you who you are. Bella completely changes her life for Edward; she gives up her high school friends, she gives up her college experience, she gives up her body, and she plans to give up her humanity - all for a man. It’s true that love is about sacrifice - but what is Edward sacrificing? Shmeh, nothin'. But it's okay, because he's, like, sooooo pretty. Pretty and sparkly. *bats eyelashes*"- Miss Elephant on datingish.com

The central message of Twilight is this: "Give up everything in life for your man. He is ALL THAT MATTERS. It's ok if he yells at you, and is totally in control of your life. As long as you are both good little Mormon virgins. It's ALL OK!!!"

And to those older women and moms who love these books.

They clearly have no idea what they are reading, and are probably not doing so hot when they are swooning over a creepy, and overbearing bloodsucker that ***SPARKLES.***

Even Stephen King is calling her out. He stated in an interview "Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

Yeah buddy, that's coming from Stephen frickin' King. He KNOWS what GOOD writing is about.

OH. That's gotta hurt.
