Even on a purely technical level the books are full of holes, clunky dialogue, and paper-thin characters. Bella in particular is a classic example of a Mary Sue, a character who exists solely as a trait-deficient block the reader can project onto as a wish fulfillment fantasy. She doesn't really have any traits and there's no clear description of her physical appearance in the books.
