The Stranger’s Monster Mash Notes has a rather mean article on Twilight. See it here!
There’s not one beautiful sentence in the entire first three books of the Twilight series. Bella and Edward fall in love immediately and desperately, for no reason except that they have to in order to get the damn book started. There’s a big vampire fight at the climax of the first book, but because Bella is unconscious during it, all the action is relayed afterward, in flashback. Oh, and none of the books have any real plot. It is difficult to relay here how enraging it is that characters either murmur or mutter—or both!—on nearly every page. Without those two words, the books would be noticeably shorter.
