"Harry Potter teaches about being strong and doing what's right even when things go horribly wrong; Twilight talks about the importance of having a boyfriend" (Stephen King).
Twilight is a ridiculous cliche about falling in love with someone who is incredibly dangerous. While everyone loves a bad boy, most women don't tend to fall in love with someone who potentially wants to eat them.
While the plot is certainly an interesting one, it gets old very fast. Especially since the story line is the exact same in every book: Bella falls for a guy and is in a relationship/married, some badies come out and try to kill her, Edward saves the day.
The twilight fandom is another negative of the whole Twilight saga. Young impressionable girls fall for the idea that someone dark and mysterious will come and save them. They all want that tragic love story that ends happily ever after. While its perfectly acceptable to love a book series, it is not, however, "normal" to relate it exactly to your life. The things girls say: "Oh Twilight relates so much to my life and every other girls lives!" Oh yeah, I remember that one time I jumped off a cliff so I could see my vampire ex-boyfriend. All the twilight series is about, is about a girl who couldn't decide for three books if she wanted to commit bestiality or necrophilia.

"It is not good to often dwell on dreams" (Albus Dumbledore). Dumbledore has spoken Mrs.
