Your Definition

There are other [definitions] available, but I just wanted to address some criticisms of [the Twilight Saga].
It's a cliche vampire novel: No, not really. The author, Stephenie Meyer, never saw any vampire movies/read any vampire books. She admitted that she didn't really know the mythology, and so she made her vampires different because she focused on them as real people; hence, no fangs, garlic, wooden stakes, problems w/sunlight, etc.
It's poor literature: Really up to the individual reader in my opinion. Is it [the most beautiful], perfect, polished writing? No. However, it is very descriptive and engaging, and the action parts are dramatic and exciting. Also, as even twi-haters have admitted, the books are addicting. That counts for something-the books are compelling to say the least.
Twilight fans are all idiot fangirls: Well, if you make sweeping generalizations about a group of people, then you are setting yourself up for comeuppance. That is just ignorant. If I said football fans are all thuggish muscle-bound jocks, is that the truth? [Of course not]. Don't judge the fans by a few that you've met, and don't judge the books just because everyone's talking about them.
Bella's and Edward's love is unrealistic/shallow/etc. : In Twilight, their love is portrayed as the out-of-this-world, destiny/fate, Romeo+Juliet kind. Not a lot of explanation, just an accepted fact. It's not [realistic], but then it's not supposed to be. The story is about the complications that arise from their love. The love is not based entirely on looks/lust, but chemistry. It is idealized, [perfect love]. Just accept it.
The characters are stupid/dull/unrealistic: Again, matter of opinion. They are what they are. Personally, I don't like Bella, but I love Edward. Anyone who considers him shallow or pathetic should read the excerpt from [Midnight Sun].

I just wanted to make this definition because I was distressed at the amount of prejudiced and negative comments about one of my favorite book series. Hopefully we can discuss it a little more civilly if everyone can just calm down and let people express their opinions.
