A novel containing an over-used plotline and has absolutely no originality. It's popularity is comparative to that of the Harry Potter and Girls Gone Wild series, while most of the GGW fans find themsleves more turned on by Hagrid than anything from Twilight. Please note that any female aged 9 - 68 has a 96.1% chance on creaming themselves if they see a Twilight poster. You have been warned.

Get the Twilightmug. Twilight is absolute literary trash that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth, however it has managed to make several previously sane girls become absolute idiots. Why? I'll tell you. It's not that Edward is just "soooo hawwt" that they just can't forget him and want to hump him, as perverted as humping a 107 year old stone that sparkles sounds. The draw is in the fact that every girl wants to be loved in a *SIMILAR* fashion to the way Edward claims to love Bella. Every girl fantasizes about someone who will (1) Profess their undying love for you without any thought to who's around (2) Swoop in and rescue you from the 'bad guy' (3) Admit that they would die for you...etc etc, the list goes on. Now I'm not saying that this is the ultimate guy, but can you honestly say that you NEVER wanted a knight in shining armor to show up and sweep you away?
That's the draw for the Twitards, even if they don't realize it. Call it the prince charming effect. And the absolutely bland characters? That just makes it easy for said Twitards to insert themselves and their own fantasy man into the roles. If you look at other vampire romance novels, like Christine Feehan's Dark series, you get the same prince charming effect, except these women have brains, back bones, and lives of their very own and the men have real respect for the women as well as their own power. Yeah, there's still a ridiculous age gap, but the youngest woman involved is in her mid twenties and legal anyway.

Summary of decent vampiric romance novel:
Woman: You scare me, back the f*** off and leave me alone.
Man: Please, listen to me. Explains.
Woman: That's supposed to make me think you're OK? Leave!
Bad thing attacks.
Woman: WTF! I told you to leave me alone. That never would have happened if you had.
Man:Yes it would. Explains.
Woman: Fine you can stay but you're sleeping outside.
Then they eventually fall in love after a reasonable amount of time where they have earned each other's respect, with a few spicy scenes.
Twilight
B: You're a vampire. You drink blood. COOL!
E: HATE ME!!!!
B: I love you
E: I love you too even though I want you to hate me.
Bad thing attacks
B:I love you. Stay with me!
E: ok
Minus all remotely interesting scenes
See the difference?

Get the Twilightmug. A captivating book by Stephenie Meyer, but a bit in the blue about the muddled description of vampires. I'm guessing that she either did not research vampires and vampirism carefully or did not care about the myth-facts, for there were several gaping plot holes throughout the book. Also, it took several exact elements from Anne Rice's book The Vampire Lestat, my point being the trite unoriginality of Edward and Bella's relationship and the too exact similarities between Edward Cullen and Lestat DeLioncourt. The precursor to the sequal New Moon.
"You are exactly my brand of herion. . . " - Edward Cullen, Twilight.

Get the Twilightmug. (n.) a book created by Stephenie Meyer, focusing on the characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
Most of the people who have given this book's fan base a bad name are the never-readers. These are the people who didn't read it until after watching the movie. These are the whiny tween fangirls who gush about how "like, O M E Edward is so hot and I'm going to marry him some day and he'll love me forever because I'm better than Bella Slut-face and then I'll be a vampire and oh my Robbie Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are so awesome I love run-ons!"
The actual fans of the book live in reality, and are more supportive of the side characters that are more interesting and less cliche- for example, Carlisle, Jasper, and Alice.
Also, the true fans laugh along when twilighter jokes are made. We laugh, we TELL these jokes, and we READ OTHER F***ING BOOKS. That's right, girls and boys. There are other book's out there! Try Ender's Game, try Sword of Truth, try Harry frickin' Potter! Just move on already! Stephenie Meyer has a different- and far better- book out, you know. Or if you want something very different, try Jodi Picoult! I don't care! Just shutthef**up and MOVE THE HELL ON!
YOU ARE NOT A FAN IF YOU ONLY READ THIS ONE SERIES!
You have nothing else to compare it to, therefore you can NOT say it is the best! You are not a fan, you are a groupie!

Fan of Books: "Um, I think you mean sequels, and actually, while Twilight is a good story, there are many that are far better. Here read this."
Fangirl: "Like, what IS this. Ah! Big words!"
Fan of Books: "Um, well, the title is on the--"

Get the Twilightmug. Twilight is an ultra-popular saga consisting of 4 books by Stephanie Meyer. Mainly appreciated by girls from age 8-16, the series has made billions of dollars in films and other merchandise. However, no matter how "great" the fans make it seem, the writing is actually quite poor and the plot is boring and unoriginal. The actual definition of "saga" (a word commonly used to describe the series) is "a long story of heroic achievement", which is definitely NOT what Twilight is. The protagonist is a plain girl named Bella with no personality or talent (besides being incredibly boring and uninteresting). She ends up falling in love with a vampire, Edward (who is also quite boring and one-dimensional). Many of the fans of Twilight adore this character, saying he's 'hot'.
These books set bad examples for society. For instance, Bella is willing to DIE than not be with Edward. This is emphasizing the idea that having a boyfriend is the most important thing in life, and that women should be protected like material.
The series is often compared to another ultra-popular series, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. In contrast to Twilight, these books are great. Go read them.
