A book series that destroyed decades of progress in young adult literature, as well as passed up strong female protagonists like Eowyn from lotr (who kills the king of the nazgul and fights alongside men, disregarding stereotypes), Hermione from Harry Potter (who, when her boyfriend leaves fights evil wizards instead of moping), and Celaena from Throne of Glass (an all-around badass) for a stereotypical, apathetic, and unrealistic main character, Bella.
Bella is the complete opposite of a strong female protagonist, basing her entire self-worth off the opinion of her boyfriend, disregarding all other aspects of her life, including her family, schoolwork, a future career, and her physical and mental health for her boyfriend. She stays with and pursues a man who has an unhealthy power dynamic in their relationship and threatens her multiple times with physical harm.
Stephanie Meyer successfully upholds unhealthy gender stereotypes through these books, teaching young girls that without a hot boy you are nothing. She also teaches that a 109 year old man watching a 16 year old girl in her bedroom without permission is sexy, a grown man vowing that he is in love with a newborn is appropriate, and that your significant other's opinion of you is the only measure of your self-worth.
Also, VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE and it is ridiculous to propose that they do. Meyer once said "the idea for Twilight came to me in a dream," and that dream may have been drug-induced.

Get the Twilightmug. a perfectly good time of day before fangirls of the novels by stephenie meyers started wearing absurd t shirts announcing to the world which team they are on, when no one really gives a shit. oh and then harry potter fans started flipping out because..... well no one really knows.
Oh look, it is twilight: the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to nightfall.

Get the Twilightmug. 1)N. The time between dawn and sunrise.
2)N. The most disgraceful attempt at a book in history, making a choice between Bestiality and Necrophilia sound, to a sad and depressed high school girl, like a good idea, written by a vary pathetic excuse for an author named Stephenie Meyer.
