Honestly I’ve never despised a literary work more than Twilight. I don’t mean to offend any fans but to me it is contrived and immature, like a dumbed down version of Anne Rice with borrowed elements from other novels.
To me it seems as though the book was written solely for the purpose of marketing hype and merchandising in mind. It has paved the way for a seemingly harmless preoccupation with Twilight, its sequels and films which in my opinion is time that kids could spend on more intellectually stimulating or at least original material.
But yeah, besides sounding like someone with a stick up their a** , I really think the current Twilight craze is disturbing.
