ladymirthThe Most Popular Book In The Whole World.
So. Freaking. Hilarious.
The reason that Twilight spoofs are so damn funny is because the books are written in such abad manner that it makes it possible to parody it in the most bizzare ways imaginable and still stay extremely true and accurate to the source material. Thereby making its parodies exponentially funnier than parodies of other works.
Even if I had wound up hating Twilight to the dust and it had bored the pants off me (which the first few chapters of the first book nearly did) I would still never regret having read the whole series, if only because of the deeper appreciation for the spoofs and parodies that it brings.
So yes, I do kind of hate SMeyer for being a sexist, cockblocking, pro-abstinence hick with the vocabulary range and expression of a middle-schooler (although she also proves herself remarkably able to turn a phrase at times) and a penchant for Mary Sues. But I also kind of love her for her innate understanding of Average Jane's love of stereotypical characters that eliminates any need for actual depth of characterization and creating the most addictive and snarkable series in the history of the Internet.
Summary: Twilight is really, really, bad and I hate the main characters and the plot is ridiculous and I can't stop reading it like I can't stop eating chocolates and what the fuck is wrong with me?!
