As far as Twilight goes, I guess I would be concidered the target age range for the books.
I tried to like it, I really did.

I'm not going to say that they are completely poorly written, though I think the author lacks creativity and the characters lack dynamics.
They are sappy at best, and completely dull at worst. The author decided to describe every moment of Bella's dull day from taking a shower to writing an email ( not kidding. )

Edward probably is the best character she has in the book, though that's not saying much.
Each vampire has a special power and his happens to be mind reading-- though, get this: he can't read Bella's mind!!
Oooh!  Perhaps this is because she is such a bland person she has no thought?  

Wasn't impressed with the series. Read the first two and started the third. Couldn't bring myself to continue it.
The movie is a slight step up- though fans didn't like it, even though it's exactly like the boring books with a few of Bella's frequent fainting fits removed.  
Extremists argued that Bella's truck was the wrong kind of Ford.

To compare this series to Harry Potter is laughable.  As Harry Potter actually has a plot and realistic well-rounded characters.  
The papers from the Twilight book would be better used as burning material if you needed a fire, because to me, about 500 of the pages are completely useless to plot or character developing.

Fail.
