At this point I must admit that there are some very good arguments against twilight. I would like to quote a forum discussion I was reading:
-Bella needs constant supervision.
-Her domineering, chauvinistic boyfriend is constantly breathing down her back, -kidnaps- her, and she writes it off as love.
-Jacob -forces- himself on her, and the girls still fight over who's better, Edward or Jacob. I'd kick both of them to the curb.
-Not to mention Jacob has threatened to -kill- himself if Bella doesn't admit she loves him.
-Bella can't be happy unless she's with a vampire that she fell in love with moments after meeting. And he even hated her then.

I enjoy reading vampire and werewolf books and I also read some other books, that are kinda like twilight (as twilight isn't anything new actually).
So I started asking myself and others: "What is so different about twilight and what makes it so catchy?"
I thought about that a lot since the second film started, which I actually decided not to watch, cause the first one wasn't that good and I'd like to stay with the books. So I kinda have a few "theories" by now:
- Maybe, as there are basically only girls/women who like twilight, the idea of a completely normal girl, who is way from perfect, can get a marvelous vampire-guy and then actually also has a werwolf fighting for her love.
- Also the fairy tale like ending gives young girls the hope of a happy end with a perfect guy like Edward.
- Some girls may be caught by the fact that it is so easy for them to associate themselves to Bella.
- Also the book is, as many people have to admit, written in a very exciting kind of way (my congrats to Meyer).
- Since years and years vampires, werwolves and other fable creatures have amazed us, though especially vampires (Dracula, Anne Rice, Van Helsing etc.), humans are always amazed by things we cannot understand and twilight offers us the idear of an unbelivable and amazing world with the perfekt guy and is also written in a very close way (by close I mean, that you can easily connect the book with you daily live).
Anyway. , I think Stephenie Meyer is a good writer, you can really see how good she is when you read the host (I actually liked the host way better than twilight, so if anybody who knows Stephenie Meyer reads this: Please tell her to write a continuing novel!!)
If you are other oppinion than me, you can comment, but if you just want to complain without thinking, let it be!!
