"It’s wrong. It’s a sloppy mess."
Someone else feels the way I do about Twilight: http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/overview
I think I disagree with her about the importance of rules for writing (beyond grammar), but I completely agree with her conclusion. And like her, "I was unprepared for how poorly crafted the saga is." I find it odd that little criticism of Twilight I've seen dwells on how terrible Meyer's writing is. Criticisms of the plot, the characters, and the supposed message are common -- but honestly, the more of this book I read, the less I understand of any of those things. The writing is so horrific, it obscures everything else. No wonder people disagree so much about these books.
