Twilight
By Stephenie Myers

First off I'd just like to say that I have zero idea how this book became a best seller. That fact goes in one ear, past my logically wired brain, and out the other. This book is told from the perspective of Bella, a teen who just moved backed to Forks, Washington to live with her dad. She's very...melodramatic. That pretty much sums up her character. Well, Bella starts school and she sees this family of teenage "brothers and sisters"(most are adopted). She looks straight through the other siblings and focuses her attention on one. Edward.

Edward's character bugged me. There is only one part of him that I like. I mean he's just so full of himself! He always, always is showing off, even when he doesn't mean to be. The only thing I like about his character is the fact that he shows self control. Most of the teenage population has either read the books or seen the movies so I hope you all agree on when I say that when I read the book, I had no clue what he was supposed to look like based on the Author's description of him! I swear she just said that he looked like more of a "pretty boy"! I was forced to go by the movies portrayal of him. That bugged me.

Bella...oh Bella. She portrays every love sick teen girl out there. She makes it seem like every time he gestures to her he's really telling her he loves her. Yuck. Her character angers me. She has zero confidence in herself. She doesn't think she's good enough for him, she doesn't think she could ever be...important arghh!!!!! All around she's completely dependent upon his love for her and his strength. She is an insult to healthy relationships everywhere.

In conclusion, I think it's safe to say that Myers is a terrible author and the world would be better off without the Twilight Saga.
