Twilight, a rant

Hello ladies, lets talk Twilight. Just a heads up, there is going to be some Twilight bashing going on, so if you are a squealing fan girl, get off this page. My major problem with Twilight is Edward. At first glance he seems like a perfect guy, gorgeous, modest, polite, thoughtful but inspect him closer, is he funny? no. Does he have any quirks? no. Does he have an intriguing past? nope. He has no personality, as John said (and i am paraphrasing here) he is "very pretty paper on an ultimately empty package." He is so empty that girls fill in the qualities they want in a guy and then they have this perfect being to ooohh and ahh over. Okay you say, he is not a great character, but does that make the books horrible?
Surprisingly, no, however poorly written they are the books are tons of fun to read. You get hooked and then find yourself rushing out to buy the next one.They are like cotton candy, lots of fun to eat(or read) but you ultimately gain little from consuming it. Has Twilight change lives? Probably, books always bring people together, but it is doubtful that the story leave a lasting mark on the reader.
BEST WISHES
KEEP NERDFIGHTING
