I hope you don't read books like you read names and words because it's not 'Bensam', it's 'Behsam'. I'm not interested on 'bashing' any books; I expressed my opinion because that's what I was supposed to do. I believe one should put their soul into their stories, and Meyer's among those who didn't do such thing.
If you are SO interested in bashing the Twilight books, why don't you write your own? I am sure with all the creativity you put into hating on someone elses writing, you could come up with something I could bash on! =)
Also A.S. Bensam, what types of books do you read? It could be interesting to read something that you are into, to compare.
Another reason I don't understand the Twilight fandom in exactly this ^ comment. Instead of explaining why you think I'm wrong, instead of giving me reasons and offering logic to what I found wrong in the series, you go on and challenge me to write something better. Honestly? Mist of my friends can write a better story than Twilight. I'm saying that because it's true. I bet even YOU can write a better story than Twilight.
I promise you if I lived where Meyer lives and had the chance Meyer has I would definitely use that opportunity. Yes, I can do better than that, but I'm not the one writing a book so many young girls read and learn things from, she was; she's the one who's supposed to think before having her main character jump off a cliff because her boyfriend's left her. You're missing the point. But I can assure you, I criticize books, and that's what I'm supposed to do as a writer.
And most of the reasons I find this series completely inappropriate for teenagers are about the moral issues the books continue to ignore; this series completely overlooks the importance of humanity and morals.
See, I read all the Twilight books even though it was literally painful since the 'falling for an infant' part really made me so angry. But I READ them, because in my opinion when you haven't read something fully, you haven't earned the right to judge it. But you actually ask me to let you read my work so you could 'bash' it; this is with the fact that you haven't read a word of any stories I've written.
And to answer your question about my taste, I read all kinds of books; since I study literature I've known and learned the full history of English literature and have read many books. My favorite writer is Shakespeare, so if you want to compare Shakespeare who makes the love between a thirteen years old girl and a sixteen years old boy legendary, to Meyer who succeeds in ruining her one and only interesting and believable character y having him fall in love with a newborn baby, you can start by comparing the sacrifices the characters in Shakespeare's works make with the sacrifices the Cullens make.
And I'm merely finding this discussion interesting, so I hope you understand I'm not challenging anyone.
