I totally share your opinion speechless, the books are a bit thicker than necessary..speechless wrote:I think the Twilight series is horrible. It's like a soap opera: it sucks you in, and as soon as the episode is over, you wonder why you wasted your time because you already knew it was going to suck.
Seriously...it's a soap opera in book form. No one needs to hear that Edward is beautiful ten times in one chapter. Plus, I don't think it provides a good model for young girls. Bella is a typical Victorian-era girl, despite the fact that it's the 21st century. She stumbles, she faints, she's rescued by the man. The getting rescued isn't the problem; the problem is how completely dependent she is on him. She practically goes into a coma when her boyfriend leaves. That, and he stalks her, forbids her from seeing people, and generally bosses her around. And she just goes along with it because she LOVES him. It's painful to read.
What does everyone think of the Twilight Saga?
