There was so many things that had you almost wanting to scream at the characters. But if you just sat back and enjoyed them for what they were then they were okay. As long as you don't go to them expecting them to be amazing with intriguing, meaningful storylines and deep, relatable characters, then you could enjoy them.
But there are two things that I particularly didn't like about the whole series. Firstly, the fans. I mean, this was never the author's fault but god, they're annoying. They spend their who time talking about Twilight and if you even mention that there might be something wrong with the series they simply leap to it's defence. They don't even have a good argument why I'm wrong, they just stand and scream that it's amazing.
The second thing is the worst though. It feels that Twilight has sort of destroyed the Vampire genre. There are some really really great vampire books, films and TV shows out there that deserve to be recognised. For instance (in my opinion) True Blood and the UK version of Being Human are some of the best television series ever created. But, because of Twilight, the minute you mention that they're about Vampires and Werewolves people go "Ewwww, Twilight!" Which I find really irritating... People refuse to watch these fantastic programs simply because they expect sparkling vampires and enamoured girlfriends with no personality of their own and for that we only have Twilight to blame.

Chicka wrote:In Twilight, we are met with creatures called vampires. In my mind, here's a breakdown of the traits a vampire should have:
Drinks HUMAN blood. To LIVE.
Hates sunlight. At the very least, suffers a disadvantage in the daylight. Even on cloudy days.
Has some sort of herb that wards it off.
Dislikes symbols of faith THAT THE OWNER BELIEVES IN. An atheist with a crucifix isn't going to do much.
Prefers the dark. Would not be caught dead in Washington in the summer.
Is turned using venom because the vampire that bit them couldn't be bothered to finish their snack. Alternatively, is turned from the sharing of blood because the vampire who turned them has been keeping an eye on them for quite sometime and has been carefully orchestrating this.
Traits Edward Cullen has:
Drinks animal blood. Angsts about it.
Doesn't mind sunlight. Sparkles in the day light.
Is unaffected by any sort of plant. Often seen in meadows.
Isn't even mildly affected by religious symbols.
Doesn't mind the light. Doesn't understand that the sun shines pretty nicely in the summer in that part of the country.
Was turned to "save him".
Is he a vampire? Nope. He's a little woodland pixie.
