Twilight was exactly the way it needed to be to appeal to the YA audience. That's like saying the Saddleclub novels could have been so much better if the girl didn't always end up successfully taming the wildest horse in the stable, or winning the blue ribbon, or the mean-rich girl always ending up as the loser. It's written for young girls who dream of winning that ribbon, of being the popular girl, and so on. It appeals to the target audience of horse obsessed girls and isn't meant to be great literature for adults. These stories have their place and serve their function. Let them be.

I love it. And on a pleasant side note, the audiobook makes going to sleep much faster. It's like, I would actually have to concentrate to keep up with who is whose father and where they are going and why. But when I am sleepy and it just drones on in the background it's very soothing. I currently listen to it almost every night. And the next morning I have no idea what chapter I listened to, so I get to do it all over again.
