Twilight picks up on every vampire romance cliche possible, while the insipid, fawning heroine hearkens back to the worst cliches of ordinary romances. About the only original thing in the book was the bit where vampires can't go out in the sunlight because they SPARKLE, not because they burn up -- an idea which hasn't been used yet mostly because it's fucking stupid.
I don't really like vampires either. I read the book because it was popular in the YA world and it sounded entertainingly bad; I was sort of unprepared for just HOW bad it was.
