Despite Twilight's popularity, the Bücher have received criticism. Stephen King stated, "the real difference [between J.K. Rowling and Meyer] is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer, and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."However, King understood the appeal of the series, adding, "People are attracted Von the stories, Von the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's Schreiben to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe, sicher joining of Liebe and sex in those books. It's exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because it's not overtly sexual."
Laura Miller of Salon.com wrote that "the characters, such as they are, are stripped down to a minimum, lacking the texture and idiosyncrasies of actual people", and sagte that "Twilight would be a lot Mehr persuasive as an argument that an 'amazing heart' counts for Mehr than appearances if it didn't harp so incessantly on Edward's superficial splendors."Miller also accused the series of sexism in its portrayal of female characters, most notably Bella Swan's obsessive behavior relating to Edward Cullen and the emphasis on his romantic hero status.Meyer has dismissed such criticisms, arguing both that the Bücher center around Bella's choice, which she perceives as the foundation of modern feminism, and that Bella's damsel in distress persona is due only to her humanity.Meyer also added, "Just because [Bella] doesn't do kung fu and she cooks for her father doesn't make her worthy of that criticism".However, in another feminist critique of the series, hündin magazine stated the novels' appeal were due to their being "abstinence porn", concluding that, "In reality, the abstinence message—wrapped in the genre of abstinence porn—objectifies Bella in the same ways that "real" porn might. The Twilight Bücher conflate Bella losing her virginity with the loss of other things, including her sense of self and her very life. Such a high-stakes treatment of abstinence reinforces the idea that Bella is powerless, an object, a fact that is highlighted when we get to the sex scenes in Breaking Dawn."

We were together, meant forever
I thought so
Till Jasper came after me
And Edward thought oh no
So the Cullens had to leave
And I was so down
But that's when Jacob came in
And things turned around
I became reckless
Just to hear Edward's voice
I was so out of it
I didn't have a choice
Me and Jacob were friends
Till we didn't talk for a while
Then he told me his secret
As before, I wasn't scared Von a mile
Edward thought I was dead
So he went to the Volturi
But then he changed his mind
Once he finally saw me
So when we got back home
To have Edward, I was happy
I wished to be like the Cullens
But then he wanted to stop me
He sagte I could
But 1 condition he carried
He sagte he'd do it
But only if we got married
I thought so

But 1 condition he carried
He sagte he'd do it
But only if we got married
When we first met
And I first looked in your eyes
I couldn't help myself
I was hypnotized
And then I found out
Your one big secret
I was in danger
But I wasn't scared a bit
So then Du took me
To your special hideaway
So Du could Zeigen me what you're like
In the light of day
My herz was racing
I was falling for you
My only Frage was
Do Du feel this way too
Then one day
My blood was wanted
It hurt so bad
I thought I was dead
Then he saved me
And I got my answer
I does feel the same way
So now it's forever <3

two weeks befor he visit
All I could think about was visiting my dad. His name is Charlie. I hadn't visted him in over three years. I would visit him for the whole summer scince I was little. Until I was old enough to make my own decisions, I was about fourteen and a half whe I stoped visiting. Im seventeen now. I live with my mom and her fiance. Her fiance's name is Phil.
I planned on visiting Charlie in two weeks. He was so happy when I phoned him, he sagte he bought me a present for when I come over. To be honest I was a little worried about what it was. But I kept my head held high, maybe he got me a neclace with earings and a bracelet too. I couldn't wait to see what the 'presnt' is.
