Twilight's Really Not THAT Bad

I thought I'd do the right thing and read the book before bashing it--I have seen the 1st movie and thought the actress was really bad and realized now that she did give a good portrayal of the heroine in the book.  Isabella Swan is charmless, artless, shallow, and incapable of coherent thought except that one instance in the truck while the powerful vampire lover of hers panicked and wanted to run away with her to who knows where.  Compared to the heroines of Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, and even occasionally, Jude Deveraux, Bella is too plain, too simple-minded, too DULL.  Let me name one girl for example:  Whitney in Whitney, My Love.  There.  See what I mean?  Or Brenna in The Wedding.  Or Jaime in The Bride.  Jade in Guardian Angel.  Anyway, Edward is no better, despite all his age.  Think Dorian Grey.  Yeah.  Edward is dust on Dorian Grey's portrait.  Anyway, I am sick of Bella's insipid character, Edward's flatness.  And oh god, it gave me goosebumps when he admitted to her that he was SPYING ON HER AND WHEN SHE ASKED HOW MANY TIMES HE'S BEEN TO HER HOUSE AT NIGHT HE REPLIED, 'WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO AT NIGHT?.'  That sent chills crawling up my spine.  Is that sick or what?!  But then again, this Bella character sticks to her decisions like jam on your cheek.  So it's not that bad, the book, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
