And the more I read of this book the more I am convinced that the only thing really keeping those two together is the fact that to Bella Edward is hot, and for him, it’s the frustration that turns into passion because he can’t read her mind. And it's teaching young susuptible girls that, among other things, a guy who breaks into your room to watch you sleep is romantic.The Twilight books conflate Bella losing her virginity with the loss of other things, including her sense of self and her very life. The books are based on the vampire myth, but Twilight vampires differ in a number of particulars from the general vampire lore. Twilight is crack and you're either an open addict, a closet addict, a recreational user, a guilty pleasure user, or a hater. Meanwhile, Bella is compelled to choose between her relationship with Edward and her friendship with Jacob.

I tore through this series in sixth grade, ignoring awful aspects, so I could squeal about how great it was. If however, I was reading this as a teen/young adult, then I probably would have fully embraced the idea of love knowing no bounds and the idea that an ordinary person could attract such an extraordinary being. Meyer has dismissed such criticisms, arguing both that the books center around Bella's choice, which she perceives as the foundation of modern feminism, and that Bella's damsel in distress persona is due only to her humanity.Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen first meet at a hospital after Esme breaks her leg, falling out of a tree; Esme is 16. Backstory: I read these the first time around in 2008 when I was around 12 years old so I was the perfect candidate for the books. I initially thought that it was interesting how Bella was presented as just an ordinary teenage girl with nothing really special about her.

At several points in the series Meyer attempted to use long, difficult words to make the book more adult, probably with the hope that tween girls would skip them rather than run to the dictionary, because most of those words were used incorrectly and in the wrong context. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome boy, Edward Cullen and eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family which drinks animal blood rather than human blood. However, I don't think it'd be a problem for those who have a firm grasp on what is fantasy and how stupid, detrimental, and dangerous some of the behavior in this book would be in real life.Positive: That was certainly a unique way to solve a love triangle without any long term broken hearts.
