And if its not to your liking, Leave others to enjoy. Personally, i really enjoyed the books, and i read, Alot.

"I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me." P.S Rachel, it’s no wonder you could identify completely.

“I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me.”

The twilight books are targetted at young teen's specifically female meaning that overly wordy and descriptive passage are usually wasted on us. I found both the book and movie to be breathtaking even if the movie wasn't as good as the books. I found the movie failed to fully capture just how in love the two are. I am an absolutely obsessed fan of Twilight and think your criticisms should've been kept to yourself. I honestly recommend you take the time to read the rest of the series as i believe New Moon and Eclipse to be the best of them all. I'm sorry you didn't see the beauty in these books. Perhaps you've never experienced young love at it's best.

At PageOne, it was placed under Thrillers/Mystery, if I'm not wrong, and that's, quite honestly, the only book store I've visited recently and the only one at which I noticed the book placement at all. Well, I won't be getting the rest of the books nor be putting myself thru the agony of reading any more of them, then! Haha! Mintea: I must have missed that, since I borrowed it from a colleague.

Female teens don't really need extremely well written, profound books when there's a 'sexy' vampire boy is in the movie. Being marketed at the Young Adult section would have been a big clue as to how good the writing is. I think most people forget that the Twilight series *are* aimed at 7th graders.
