If vampires are so good and sparkly, why wouldn't everyone that knows about them want to be turned into a vampire? Edward hints at a reason in the first book or two (possible loss of soul) but it's never followed through. So what is the downside? Why not rid the world of the human race and all be sparkly vampires or werewolves (or some type of bizarre hybrid.) So unless you are of the werewolf tribe, why not be turned? Super strength, beauty, poise and grace, etc --Plus they get supernatural powers!

Many entertainment and media outlets have made similar comments on the abusive nature of Bella and Edward's relationship, including Entertainment Weekly, [90] Movieline, [91] and Mediabistro.com. [92] The author and the series' popularity are often compared with J. K. Rowling and Harry Potter. [40] [62] Describing the fan following of the books, the Phoenix New Times wrote, "Meyer's fandom is reminiscent of Harry Potter mania." [46] The Daily Telegraph described Twilight as the "spiritual successor to Harry Potter". [63] Rebekah Bradford of The Post and Courier stated that the series has a "huge crossover appeal much like the Harry Potter books before them." [64] According to the Daily Telegraph, "Stephenie Meyer, in particular, has achieved incredible success across all the English-speaking nations and Europe and many will say that her Twilight series has filled the hole left by Harry Potter." [65] Meyer has responded to such comparisons, saying, "It's terribly flattering to be compared to her, but there's never going to be another J. K. Rowling; that's a phenomenon that's not gonna happen again", however noting that "you can compare my fans to her fans more easily [than me to her]. I do think that we both have people who are just really really enthusiastic, and will come miles to see you and be involved, and everybody really cares about our characters."

He's abusive, extremely posessive, and has stalker-like tendencies, not to mention the fact that every single vampire is basically a Mary Sue/Gary Stu all on their own. He is so perfect, he doesn't even react negatively when Bella admits she loves another man. I'm sorry, but ... no. Just no. I have no words for this. a b Karen Valby (November 5, 2008).

I am still having that stupid smile every once in a while when the story is sweet. I do not hate this. I enjoy this more than I’d like to admit.

Rosman, Kathleen (January 22, 2010). "The Death of the Slush Pile". Wall Street Journal. Dow Jones & Company . Retrieved January 27, 2015. The concepts in Twilight are interesting, well at least some of them. I really enjoy her whole werewolf/Native American bit and some things about the vampires were interesting. I enjoyed the different, species of vampires (the Romanians vs. the Italians etc.), I think tying in the succubus/incubus thing was neat, I really like the side characters, like Jasper and Alice. Jacob was nice when he wasn't being really annoying. I enjoyed Renesme and all that. I like the conflict between the different powers in the vampire world, etc, but all of that is offset by horribly annoying things.

Still, I think that the books could have been achieved with far less trees executed. They were just too long and consequently almost taken far too seriously. I think they would have been more more commendable if they had been condensed and spared us of the long drawn out whining of any of the characters from Edward to Jacob. I think I may have to read them again to try to sort out my opinions on each, but overall I liked them a lot.
