Twilight by Stephanie Meyer: An epic love story? Or just another cheesy vampire novel?

Some of us know Twilight as an awesome love story told from the perspective of Bella Swan. But others, know it as a crappy sparkling fairy 'love tale'. Yes, Edward Cullen was sparkling as described in the book, his skin looked like pieces of diamonds.

I am a twilight lover, but I'm also a candor born which means I am honest for those of you who have read Divergent.

And my honest critique for you, is that Twilight is a well earned saga. However, there are a few aspects that I would like to view with you, so hand tight as I- a Twilight lover calls it out on its major mistakes.

First of all: Bella Swan-

Bella Swan is an honesty lover and clearly has an open mind. What I'm calling her out on, is that at first glimpse you would believe that she was a vampire (before Edward did the dumbest thing ever and turned her into a vampire.)

She believed in Edward- yes. But she is the only book character that I've ever seen make so many mistakes and have Edward save the day so many times. Frankly, she is an idiot!

In the first book, when she thought her mother had been 'kidnapped', she ran straight to the dance studio that James had told her to go. Am I correct so far?

When Bella arrived and realized that she had been fooled by James the hunter, before James made his entrance, Bella had a chance to run out of the studio and into the street where the sun would have exposed James for what he is.

Then, Bella could have gotten back to the airport in time to greet Edward because running out to meet James was just plain stupid.

Secondly: Edward Cullen-

Edward was by far the cutest and scariest boyfriend on the planet.

But why?

The cutest boyfriend because, obviously he protected Bella and was very careful when they touched in order not to break her in two. That was very sweet of him but he has more creepy moments than he does sweet. Observe:

First of all, when he first met Bella he was a complete and total a***hole about it, when all he had to do was be polite but keep his distance. That's being friendly. Even all of those centuries, and all of that knowledge this fool still didn't know the alternative manners!

Secondly, in New Moon, Edward broke up with Bella and left her to fend for herself. What he forgot was that Bella had a knack for drawing supernatural creatures attention to her, and she wasn't that subtle. In the meadow, where Edward first took her Bella ran into Laurence another vampire who tried to kill her, until Jacob and his pack saved her from her could be death.

What doesn't make sense is that Edward tried to have the Volturi kill him because he thought that Bella was dead! I think that if he gave two hoots about Bella, he wouldn't have left her behind in the freaking first place! Lies men tell you man!

After wards, Edward and Bella get married in Eclipse and she was turned into a vampire like she had wanted to be since she met him.

That's it for today guys, let me know what you think of Edward and Bella and if I got every character's flaw! ;)
