Twilight

I recently heard that this book was a best seller, so I downloaded it off of /rs/. Holy shit, what a crappy book. What I find amazing is that I can't find a single bad review about it while browsing Google. Nobody mentions the one dimensional characters, how Bella Swan (seriously, that's her name) seems like a wish fulfillment character for the author (she's popular for no reason, attracts the attention of all the boys, doesn't have any real flaws). Sometimes I forget the book is written in first person, that's how bland Bella Swan is. And just the author's general writing style is dry and bland, bogged down with unnecessary gossiping, and more telling than showing. It seems like I'm reading the same few phrases over and over "he said this with a coy smile," "I couldn't believe the weather was blah blah blah," "I don't understand why I'm so popular here." Seriously, why isn't this book getting torn a second asshole it so sorely deserves?
