plus all the fans and hysteria about it, DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!
The fans don't bother me that much. Yeah, some of them are a little psychotic, but that goes for anything, not just Twilight.
I actually thought the books were worse than the movies (or what I've seen of them), but that could just be because Bella is whiny and clingy, and that's even more obnoxious when you have to read all her thoughts. But I was pretty close to throwing all of the books across my room at least once. The only reason I even read them in the first place was because Commi made me. (I was absolutely refusing on the basis of 'VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE', and she demanded I read them before I judge them, because she liked them at the time.) They were even worse than I was expecting. The movies were bad, but at least I could sit in the theater and distract myself from the craziness on-screen by mocking all of them in my head.
The biggest part of why I hate the series is Edward and Jacob. They're both manipulative, selfish, obnoxious jerks and I deal with enough of those in real life than I need to anyway. I don't want to read about them, too.
