Before I had any right to dismiss Twihards or criticize the psychologically unhealthy relationship model that Bella Swan and Edward Cullen present, I felt obliged to read the books. So I did. All four novels, one novella, and an incomplete document in portable format.
The content lived down to my expectations, but I was unprepared for how poorly crafted the saga is.

I’ve said it before: Making your protagonist this pathetic is irresponsible. Passages like these blur the line between writing a self-conscious teenage girl with whom your readers can relate and writing a protagonist that validates feelings of inadequacy within your reader.
