Subject: Jodi I am so with you on this. I read Twilight when 10yo (at the time) DD brought it home from the school library. It was too much for her to read, as she's reading a bit below grade level. I felt like a really old person after I read it, because I felt like it was a set up for girls to be in abusive relationships! I mean he does tell her he wants to and could kill her at any time and she tells him she doesn't care! I haven't read any of the rest of them yet because of this. If you guys tell me they improve I guess I'll have to check them out.
In reply to: Jodi YoB 's message, "I'm just about at the end of Twilight and had a hard time with it until there was actually a story. *g* I just kept wondering how so many adults have gotten through it but now that we're done with all the completely unrealistic, first love bit I can see perhaps enjoying them from here. But if she keeps up with the high school students straight out of the 50s I'm not so sure I can take it. *g* I'm also a bit concerned about these being the only vamp stories in history that allow daylight fraternizing and not just if you are a 1000 year old vamp and can take it. This series is so popular, a whole generation of new vamp lovers could completely rewrite folklore! On another note, I saw a tween wearing a shirt that said on the back, "My life is yours now - Edward" (or whatever he says..."You are my life" maybe?) and just rolled my eyes. I'm such a cynical bitch but I feel kinda bad for young girls if this is what they hope to find. It ain't out there in your teens. *g*" on 23:07:25 06/18/09 Thu
