I frickin read Twilight. Yeah...I had to. I just couldn't make fun of my friends and call them Twitards without at least knowing what it was all about. So I read it.
Let me say this...I get it. I get why teenagers love it, as well as lonely housewives, single women, women in lousy relationships looking for a romantic escape. I also get the fact that these are not the only demographic who are into this series.
When I was a kid, I would have eaten this UP. I would have been sucked in (excuse the pun, it's unintentional) just as badly as the rest of them, pining away for my own Edward to come along and wisk me away from my humble life. Oh yeah, I totally would have been on team Edward, by the way.
I get it. It was a fast read (I literally just sat down and read the damn thing in a matter of hours) and it was not completely uninteresting.
I do not, however, have any desire to venture further into this series, or EVER watch any of those movies. I just loathe Kristen Stewart on screen and the story didn't grab me enough to want to sit through it. I won't belittle the story, the characters, the author, and all the other usual suspects when it comes to Twilight. I won't say that it's the downfall of our civilization, or even idiot teenagers. I'll just say that it's not for me.
And now I can continue to make fun of my friends and feel a little better about it.
I must admit...I did sort of enjoy the part where Bella was getting beat up by that one hunter or tracker or whatever vampire. That was my favorite part.
