agreed.

It's an immaturely-composed girl book that creates deep sympathy with the characters despite the poor writing and contrived narrative. It's also pretty regressive in terms of women's empowerment, which is the worst bit, because its major fanbase is young girls who are being socialized into idealizing a female character who actually begs to give up her life to be with a man (literally; she has to become a vampire) and is otherwise flat, shallow, and uninteresting.

okay no....Reyanne listen to me!!! Twlight is amazing! I've only read the first book so far but i am about half way through the second book...its a love story and i think you should give reading it a try. i was skeptical about it at first but once i started reading it i couldn't put it down!! so get the book...Ready, GO!
