Sorry to be that girl who defends Twilight, but I read all the books when I was twelve and I liked them. I haven't read them since because I know my tastes have matured since then, and I know it isn't amazing writing.I think people should just see it as it is: a pretty decent story idea written for young girls. A fantasy that many enjoy.I just don't understand why everyone else needs to criticize it when it isn't groundbreaking literature, and it wasn't meant to be analyzed as such.
I’m not saying it’s supposed to be groundbreaking literature. I wasn’t even criticizing the writing (which I could do for days. I could make a whole blog about it. Actually, someone else already has, and it’s called Reasoning With Vampires). What I was criticizing was that it’s an extremely popular book that promotes unhealthy relationship models, and since the target age group is particularly young, impressionable readers might be getting the wrong ideas.
