Ugh. a poisonous message to be feeding young women. TRUE.
Edward is no hero. Bella is no Buffy. And Twilight's underlying message - that self-sacrifice makes you a worthy girlfriend, that men mustn't be excited beyond a certain point, that men with problems must be forgiven everything, that female passivity is a state to be encouraged - are no good to anyone. It should be staked through its black, black heart.

This review pretty much sums up my hatred of this book.

	Yeah my mom was like "it can't be that bad.." because she hasn't been paying attention to the press. So I was like, no. Don't let my sisters read this crap. They try to teach you that the only way to be happy is to be tied down to an abusive man. And she was like oh, that's bad. Gross. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ugh. I know. I won't even let Jade read the books. I told her that she wouldn't like them...that sparkly vampires and abusive boyfriends are not for her eyes at this time. (Reply to this)(Parent)
