I've read spoilers of the plot from all the books and I was mad that I decided to read even that. The characters are inane and vapid. They aren't lovable and the plot is just ridiculous.

Being very popular in the mainstream and among "casual" readers is a clear indicator for me that said book series should be avoided.
I hate Harry Potter, I hate the Dan Brown Books, thus it's not likely that i could like Twilight.
Interestingly, the books that seem unappealing at first seem to become my personal favorites. Like "Perdido Street Station". I don't care about imaginative creature-designs, and the "almost sex scene" in the first chapter between a human and a woman/insect hybrid that does sculptures with her spit for a living was a mayor turn-off for me.
Yet, after reading a bit further, i really like the story, unconventional yet very engaging and touching in a certain way.
To a lesser degree, it was the same with the Hyperion Cantos, my two all time favorite books. From the Descriptions it seems to be a very generic Fantasy/Sci-Fi Thing, but it is so much more...
