Twilight Series Review

Despite the contants praise the Twilight series is showered with, I personally don’t even know where to start on how utterly pathetic and irritating they truly are. The plot is decent (an ordinary girl falls for a vampire, and throughout the series they encounter many dangerous situation), I might even go as far as to say it has potential to be good, but somewhere between Bella’s obscure idea of love (which is more along the lines of dilusional worship) and Edward’s tendancy to say the corniest thing he could possibly muster, haven’t caused me to intall much faith in this supposedly “epic” series. Author Stephanie Meyer made Bella out to be nothing more than whiny useless and clumsy. She actually stated "I guess my brain will never work right. At least I'm pretty." …And this is the modern day heroine teenage girls across the globe are aspiring to be like? The series also gives these young girls the idea that they need a man to be happy, and that life without a dazzleingly good looking Edward Cullen, is not a life worth living. I can’t help but read these books in a sarcastic tone, as they are sickenly cheesy, and miraculously popular for Meyers bland and repetetive writing style.
