1. Twilight is the product of an immature writer. It reads like something out of my notebook from freshman year.
2. The only difference between Twilight and fanfiction.net is marginally better grammar. (I, personally, love fan fiction.net. These are somebody else's opinions that I found, not mine)
3. And even that isn’t so great sometimes. English major fail.
4. I’ve read fanfiction that is light years better than Twitripe.
5. The prose is purple amethyst! Deep, luscious, dazzling amethyst that scintillates and glitters incandescently in the sun!
6. Not to mention, it’s also insanely repetitive.
7. THESAURUS ABUSE! Fancy words are not necessarily better words.
8. The storyline is trite and cliché.
9. The characters are trite and cliché.
10. Meyer doesn’t show, she tells. All of the characters’ traits (especially Bella’s) are told to the reader; we never see them in action.
11. Stephen King is right: “Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn.”
12. The apple: SYMBOLISM FAIL. The cover and the Bible-verse epigraph don’t relate to the story at all. Forbidden fruit? No. Just no.
13. Chagrin. Meyer keeps using that word. I do not think it means what she thinks it means. (
14. The plot is weak to the point of being almost nonexistent.
15. What is there defies logic.
16. There is no deeper point to the books: they’re pure wish fulfillment.
17. The characters are all underdeveloped.
18. The characters are impossible to relate to on levels beyond “Bella has brown hair and she’s clumsy! Like me!” Which probably goes for more than half of tween girls.
19. Bella is an idealized, oh-so-special, can-do-no-wrong stand-in for both author and reader. In short, she’s a Mary Sue.
20. Another trait of Mary Sues is that they tend to have names depicting their special-ness. The name of Bella Swan, the ugly duckling, means…beautiful swan. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
