i love twilight. the books are way better but the movies are not that bad either. but i really hate the character of edward. he really is a stalker, he’s over-protective and veeeeery jealous. jacob black is especially on the new moon movie veeeery hot and i think a perfect guy.

Britni: ALL the good things? When I was making this list, I couldn’t think of ANY. RhondaLue reminded me of his strength, and just now I thought of his self-control. That’s all I can think of!

Haha but you forgot to list all of the good things about Edward. Anytime you look for flaws, you’re going to find them. Just kidding, everyone has their own tastes in fictional characters :)

Love your points! lol My only major transgression is Edward, imo, has the precursors and trademarks for an abusive/territorial relationship. It’s certainly not the fantasy relationship I want my children to dream of.

I totally love Edward…in the books and the movies…but now I’m rethinking my judgment on this one? =) You make some convincing arguments.

So glad you write this! I sort of hate “Twilight”. Not the books per se, but the hype around them. The twihards are just annoying. I don’t remember Harry Potter fans every acting like they do. And I totally agree, Edward could never be for me!

Very funny! I’ve read Twilight but didn’ think it was good enough to go out and buy the others. I like the fact that he is sparkles – makes more sense than not being able to be outside at all in the sunlight.

all of your points are valid, but since when do people make lists before falling in love?

and i agree with others, it is romance, very romeo and juliet, it is not supposed to be logical. love is irrational.

and while i love the series, the writing is not incredible. but it is a lovely story, so that is why i love it.

RhondaLue: I don’t know about his hotness factor (Meyer didn’t describe in a way that I’d think was hot, though Bella says that over and over again), but I will concede the strength. I forgot that one…it’s now 9 to 1.

Jennifer: Yeah, me and romance don’t get along. Just makes me gag.

LisaB: I do like Jacob!

Amanda: No, he doesn’t kill himself, he just plans to. His plan is thwarted when Bella reveals that she is in fact alive. It’s all Romeo and Juliet-esque, sorta.

Cara: Exactly. He’s not bad looking, but not great, either. Especially with the makeup they use for the movie.
