Twilight's not really Dystopian, but IIRC once Bella gets turned into a vampire she is super strong and stuff, because apparently all new vampires are unusually strong at first.

Isn't that true for a lot of popular literature?
I still don't understand why the Twilight books get singled out. Yes, they're dumb, but they aren't any dumber than the average Jack Reacher novel. One's just a teenage girl wish fulfillment romance fantasy and the other is a middle-aged man wish fulfillment power fantasy.
To be clear, I still enjoy the Jack Reacher books.
