    I’ve never read Twilight books, and I never really wanted to. Out of random curiosity, I once read a few small synopses of some of them, to find out what they were about… and found I really, really didn’t want to read them. But then, I dislike romance novels anyway so, yeah.

    I used them in my adult reading class. They were rather juvenile and poorly written at that.

    Just a shot in the dark from having watched about 5 minutes of Twilight on tv… I’d guess the target audience is emo teenagers of both sexes, which would probably explain the juvenile writing. Emo teen vampire 90210 v1.0.

    Please. I’ve read plenty of adolescent literature, and even the first-person stuff was better-written than Meyer’s work.

    I tend to prefer the typical vampire idea - werewolf dies, curse lives on, keeping the person trapped in between life and death, et cetera.

    LOL! This seems far too appropriate since yesterday I finally gave in and read “Twilight.” Must admit it was like Oreos or similar - addictive and I read more than I knew I should. ;) Fun just the same.

    Twilight is for TEENAGERS OF TODAY who were raised in an apathetic society of t.v. zombies and “Give them easy stuff to read and learn. They are just kids”. (Of course, I love the books!!! Says the 36 year old mom of 5)

    Jason, that sounds like the best advice you’ve had in years.

    Comics like these are why Bill Amend should be working on dailies too. He is always on top of pop culture! Funny stuff!

    Read them once. Decent, but not spectacular. Until the second half of #4. Now THAT was a good tale.

    She forgot the sparkles. Can’t have an emo vampire w/out the sparkles.

    Actually, I was impressed at the vocabulary used in the Twilight novels. The average American teenager doesn’t have the best vocabulary, and I really liked the way she slid a few SAT words in there. It was subtle, not obnoxious the way some young-adult readers can be.

    Fun Vampire Fact: blood contains a lot of water and very little actual nutritional value. Therefore, real-life vampire critters (like the vampire bat) have kidneys that kick into overdrive the second the animal begins to feed. That’s right… simultaneous input and, umm… output.

    So, does this reduce the romanticism of the whole vampire concept? Well… Depends (tm)…

    They’re juvenile, but they are aimed at a young audience. If you can’t be juvenile when you’re young, when can you be?

    Twilight is an entertaining read, but by no means great literature.

    I’m actually quite frightened to see how many “Twilight Vampires” will be out trick-or-treating this year…

    Thank you ED!!! Personally i believe that the twilight books arent for the older reader. They are meant for younger teens like myself that wanna get lost in a fantasy romance for awhile. Let us be young and juvenile while we still can.

    I have a good friend who’s a Twilight fangirl. She almost dragged me out to see “Eclipse” when it came out, but I got out of it (Woot). She claims “The Vampire Diaries” came out first, and that Twilight is a copycat. Whatever. But Jason makes a good point.

    I can’t stand twlight. It destroys vampires in the eyes of everyone. Vampires are awesome, and I hate the way those ‘books’ spoil them.
