Ugh, Twilight

So I have decided that my last post was not my BAJ post for today. Today we (by we I mean myself and possibly my best friend) shall discuss why Twilight is no good. You see , I used to be a fangirl, and I'm going to describe the decline. So, I was obsessed with Harry Potter, but then I read Twilight. So I'm thinking that, you know, this book is awesome, and I kind of forget Harry Potter, though I still liked it. Well, when I got finished with Breaking Dawn, I still liked it. Then I re-read the series and realized how poorly written it was. It was still okay. But Breaking Dawn was the worst to me. Then I discovered the outer reaches of the Harry Potter fandom, and that's when I gave up on Twilight. It was still okay. I still freaked out and went to go see the movie (and hated it). But Harry was dominant. Before then, I'd never heard of Wizard Rock, or The Leaky Cauldron, or any of that. But I saw that Harry Potter taught lessons and built friendships, not just let me meet screaming fangirls. And the more I think about it, the more I realize Twilight is trash. Stephenie Meyer really needs to take writing classes if she plans to write more books. The wording is awkard, the dialouge sounds like something I would write (I just got out of 6th grade, so that's not a compliment to her). I can't deny that the general story idea is good, the romance fantasy. But the plot is terrible. The characters have little depth; the setting of the whole series is Forks and LaPush (other than one scene in Pheonix in Twilight and one in Vulteri or whatever in New Moon); there aren't many characters; Edward is an over-protective, abusive stalker-boyfriend; there was no action in Breaking Dawn, they just said "Oh, yeah , whatever, we'll your off the hook this time, after we came all the way over here with all these vampires". People say it's not wrong that Bella and Edward had sex so young, they loved eachother, why wait. I say why not wait, they had enough time. Plus the imprinting thing is weird. So you go through your life not caring or noticing someone, then all the sudden you become obsessed with them. That's just strange. Oh, and Quil imprints ON A TWO YEAR OLD. Then Jacob is suddenly in love with his old love's daughter, something he hated until that moment. My rant is over.
