Amen, sista! I say give Edward five minutes alone with Pam or Jessica at Fangtasia. See how hard Bella cries for him then ;)

I'm with my sister (a college English teacher) on this: "I don't like Twilight for many many reasons, but at least people are reading."

haha, yeah, that's true.

Thank you! I read it when I was 16/17, and I got so into the story that I didn't even see the abusive themes the books contained. And as far as the writing goes, I was to busy imagining myself as Bella, and getting into the fantasy, to notice how bad it was. That and English is not my native language. But after people pointed out all its faults, I recognized it for what it was. /rant.

ALL OF THIS. SO HARD.

Also I always "wtf" at people who compare it to Harry Potter. Twilight has NOTHING on Harry Potter.

Ikr? Harry Potter is well-written, with good morals and great plots; and it got a lot of young people into reading again. Twilight is nothing compared to it. And yeah, I'm a total HP stan:P
