Ohhhh trust me, you are not alone! Twilight bashing is very common and... well, pretty fun. Each to their own though
I read the first book and I got very frustrated with the repetition SMeyer used to describe Edward over and over and over... I get it. He's shiny (literally) gorgeous. I also didn't like Bella as she was a very plain character--but I understand that that was artistic choice as it's easier for the reader to project themselves in her shoes if she's simple. And it works. For the same reason, some video game characters never speak--it's a purposeful choice so that the player is more submersed into the character.
I could go on as to why I personally don't like it, but I won't.

That's rude to do in a place like this. I agree with
tiffany0809 that it sends the wrong messages to adolescent girls. But hey, so does MTV, magazine covers, and the popular rap that they listen to these days. I'd say Twilight isn't as bad as all that. Not good, but there are easily worse things out there.
