Twilight is VERY Mary-sue. I think it's Stephanie Meyer's fantasies put into an extremely long, no developed plot-line book.
I'll talk about some random critques, then go into the plot line.
Firstly, Bella and Edward basically just think each other is interesting, then fall in love. Haha,...uh...okay! Whatever.
Secondly, there's cheese. And more cheese. And a moldy cracker as a plot line. (vampires are so overused.) and then more cheese. You get my point.
The characters are all 2D. "Perfect", basic, unrealistic. To me, the most realistic characters are Rosalie (the girl who voted against Bella turning vamp, whatever her name is) And Carlisle, because he's just not there. It's a mysterious thing.
Yeah, and Meyers repeats herself. A bit of repeating is okay, but half her book is old stuff. Yuck.
Now for plot. Let's start with individual events/details.
Bella going all emo and coma-y after Edward left: Okay, seriously. that was one of my most fav parts of the book. Why? Because the freaking plot actually moved. October, November, December, January. That's almost half a year already! That's great!
Secondly, Bella seems like a girl who is spineless and can't do anything on her own. Worse than Juliet from the original Romeo and Juliet. You know, the play.
Another thing. Edward acts g*y. Seriously. The whole c**p about Bella being some light in his sky. God help us. That whole thing was absolutely disgusting, I gagged. Didn't you?!!
My favorite part was when Edward tried to kill himself. Best part of the whole story. That and when Jacob, for some reason I didn't bother reading, ran through the forest being all emo. It was deep. Much better than just scratching the surface like the rest of the book. Escuse me, BOOKS. Like I said, God help us.
Twilight is basically a tween girl's fantasy. Omigod, hot guys love me to death. It's so fairy tale and trying to be real life that its fake. You want cheesiness? You need angst to balance it out. Math formula for godly writing. Nuff said.
Have you ever seen a plot mountain? Those stupid diagrams where you have a "mountain" and you write events leading to climax and ending, and stuff? Yeah, Twilight wouldn't have made it up there to the top. It basically made an anthill with the first book, then plummeted off some cliff to the earth's core and blew up. Yay!
Moral of the story: If you like Twilight, you either love cheesiness and you'll never appeal to true readers and writers with YOUR cheesiness (srlsy, fanfiction.net is filled with this c**p)
OR...
YOU'VE NEVER READ A DECENT BOOK IN YOUR LIFE.
Seriously. I've read better fanfictions than Twilight. That's ridiculous.
Nuff said. Finally.
So what do you guys think?
