"No, Fitzpatrick seems to have put two and two together and gotten five and decided that bad boys are popular because they kill/hurt people, and that's what every teenage girl is searching for in a boyfriend." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybristophilia
I really do think part of the "bad boy" appeal for some people is just how horrible they are to everyone else, so the love interest is so special because he treats her semi-hemi-demi-reasonably. So... sad to say, I think Fitzpatrick has it right on target, the same way SMeyer got it right on target.
Not that it makes the book any better - for me, that makes it even worse - but still.
