Sure as hell it's been the worst book I've read in my life  .
On which basis I'm saying this....let me see: poor writing style, plot holes, nonexistent character development, repetitions, repetitions, repetitions.. The main character, Bella, is entirely unbelievable as a person and probably the most stupid, glaring chick on this earth and as someone said she represents all that those who fight for feminism are battling to demolish.  |
But it's given an awful lot of pleasure to a very large number of teenage girls. That's a good thing, surely, regardless of the literary merits of the book? To my mind any book which encourages teenagers to read is to be praised.
