Even though people may be worried about the characters [Bella being so wrapped up in Edward for instance], all I know is that my little sister [she's 16] hated reading. She's been reading the 5th book in the Harry Potter series for 2 years now. It's so hard for her to stay focused. I read Twilight and I begged her to start reading it and a couple of days later she asked for my book. She started reading it on a Wednesday and was finished with it by Saturday, then she asked me for the second book. I was so proud of her because for her to be able to do that was a really big deal. I'm totally happy there is so much hype over this movie, hopefully it will make kids who haven't read the books get out there and read them. I know after I saw the movie I'd do that because I absolutely hate sitting around to find out whats going to happen lol. I agree with Trent.

I like the way I pictured this book in my head much better than what I've seen in the previews of this movie. Also, while I did like the books, Zoe is right...Bella is consistently the victim, and she can't hold herself together without her man...its not a healthy thing to teach young girls that if they don't have a man in their lives they have nothing at all.

Vampire culture aside, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was able to transport you into another "fantasy" realm without relegating females to the character of hopeless victim. Bella Swan's character is underdeveloped and stereotypical; she does nothing but wait around for her vampire lover Edward to come by and take her somewhere magical and dangerous, which in itself is not interesting, but she also allows herself to be abused physically and emotionally by Edward, setting an alarming trend for the thousands of young girls reading the novel. Adults, I would hope, are more critical of these sorts of themes. If you know a young woman who is reading this series, talk to her about her perceptions on the relationships between men and women, and ensure that popular culture doesn't infiltrate our way of life any more than it already has. And don't yell at me for being on a pop culture website, I'm interested in all sorts of things and at least I'm media critical.

Although I will say that as I read it (I'm around p. 200) one part of my brain is wanting them to just jump on each other and the other part of me is wondering if Bella has never seen Buffy since we all know from that and Angel that unfortunately Vampires and humans aren't really a good idea... Ok I need to go finish the book now before my head explodes!
