Everyone is allowed their opinions, lol, don't worry about getting attacked. Alot of the rabid fans do remind me of Amy Lee fans--willing to defend the series to the death. (Example: Twilight Moms) Anyway, I disagree with a few of your points. I think Bella is a likeable character in Twilight, but I do tend to dislike her in Eclipse simply because she does tend to go in circles. However, I think her character needs to do this in order to develop into who she truly is...and I enjoyed Eclipse alot. I wasn't a huge fan of New Moon, and the reason for that is not because Edward is gone, but because its just rather a depressing book in general. I loved Jacob until he turned into a werewolf because he turned into Dark!Jacob, and I didn't really enjoy his character as much.

Lastly, while I feel you're right and a MAJORITY of the fans are crazy teenaged girls, not all of them are. For example, I'm almost twenty and I still love to read the books. Also, my boyfriend is in the middle of Twilight and absolutely loves it. So sometimes guys can enjoy it too. I think the romance is part of why people get into it, but if you really want a relationship that will make you pull your hair out, read Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty novels

I still maintain that Twilight is the best book out of all of them though, because its the least complicated. Haha.
