I do hate imprinting, overall. I like to write about it, but it seems like such a lazy author's tool, rather than something that was thought out and has a greater purpose. I wasn't happy with Quil's situation, but thought it could be examined in an interesting way. When SM used it to explain Jacob and have him imprint on an effing egg in an ovary, it made me furious. Twilight has such great ideas, but they're completely wasted with an author who is more interested in writing herself as a Mary Sue in some sort of fanfiction for a dream she had. It doesn't help that editing appears to be completely absent in the publication process as well.
Imprinting could be interesting, if it was some sort of biological component to being a wolf/preserving the tribe. Even though I hate the lack of choice, it could be a very interesting concept - but it's completely ruined the way she goes about it.
