Stephanie Meyer wrote this book for tweens. By just reading the first few pages this is obvious. And is it really such a big deal that people like and enjoy something. Hype is annoying, that is true for anything. But why must we constantly tear something apart if people like it and it brings them happiness. Little girls are brought happiness by reading these books. Are you really that cruel and heartless that you would want to destroy or tain someone's happiness? Cause if so, have fun with your cynical pointless life. okay, i agree that the hype has grown to a ridiculous level. however, i don’t believe that the constant bashing and over the top insults are needed.

I've read all four books and seen the first movie, and I completely agree Bella's an emotional wreck, and Kristen Stewart is an even worse actress. At First the books seem harmless and just a 'Guilty Pleasure' but the fact that Tweens all over the world are reading this and getting in their heads that because it's a 300 pager its 'good literature' is absolutely pathetic. Whats more is comparing it to Romeo & Juliet, and other great works makes me cringe. I'm so glad there are more sane people out there. :lol: keep it up! I wish you could hear me clapping. :mrgreen:

But Twilight is no laughing matter. Forget your epidemic. It's a pandemic. It's everywhere we turn. Celebrities are being asked whether they're on "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob". It has spawned a horrific train of vampire based fiction that is so far removed from vampire lore, it is laughable we even call them vampires. It is turning otherwise respectable people into rabid, incomprehensible piles of drool. Some could defend the Twilight saga as a guilty pleasure. Transformers and High School Musical are guilty pleasures (not mine, but I'm sure they are somebody's). Twilight is just plain guilty.
