Enlighten me on ‘Twilight’
I have seen Twilight, and it’s …
Well, for that you’ll have to read my review. But first, let me explain where I am on this saga.
As was the case when the Harry Potter movies came out, I’m new to the latest literary rage. I haven’t read any of Stephenie Meyers’ novels, so I’m still trying to sort all this out. Since I’ve seen the movie, I’m familiar with the first story, but I have a few matters I’m curious about.
Most every article I read about the books or movies talks about teen girls being the target audience. Is it really that limited, or are we in the press just focusing on the most vocal contingent?
Is there much crossover with the Potter fanbase? Do Potter fans and Twilight fans hate each other, especially now that Twilight slipped into Harry’s old release date?
And finally, sum up what Meyer’s books mean to you. I’d like to hear some testimonials.
C’mon, bite.
