Is that really the cover of the book (minus the paedobear seal of approval, of course!). If so, what is with the apple? There were no apples in the film! Is it supposed to be implying that they are like Adam and Eve and Bella is experiencing temptation and flirting with sin? Or is she handing over her fruits to him?!

These books are a lot more popular in America, right? Coincidence....?

A mormon wrote the book.
Bella is supposed to be the apple begging to be eaten by the virtuous Ed who refuses to eat or have sex with her until marriage.



@Apt
Remember that short story you found of the Space Marines invading Hogwarts and killing everyone?
Is there something similar about the Ordo Malleus attacking the Twilight universe?

I want one hundred sheets of pedobear stickers and a coordinated campaign to stealthily place them on copies of Twilight around the world.

See to it.

By your order!

Man, I'm glad I'm in University. We're probably not any smarter than those screaming youtube girls, but we're usually too pompous to degrade ourselves with such tripe as Twilight.

I disagree. I must say, I vastly enjoyed Twilight... It was like bad fanfic, and just full of unintentional humour.

For example: "THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELLA!" *tears open shirt, and sparkles*

... Priceless.

On a serious note, how the hell did it become so popular?!

It's supposedly "romantic", I think. I know only 2 guys who've read the book...1 lost a bet and the other is homosexual. And then I also know countless hordes of girls, ranging from teenagers to middle-age women, who like it.

It's a terrible pandemic that rots away people's sense of literary taste.

he he is a pedophile... he seduces a 17 year old girl... he is like over 100 right?

Yes, but he pretty much has the same maturity level as her (even though he supposedly has 2 degrees or something). I don't think that's the first thing Twilight can be criticized for, especially as lots of other, better works of fiction have similar kinds of immortal/mortal romances. No-one calls Korlat a paedophile, after all, even though the chronological and proportional age difference between her and Whiskyjack is presumably much larger than that between Edward and Bella. Also, it would be 'ephebophile', as Bella is past puberty.

If you want pseudo-paedophilia in Twilight, there's always Jacob and Renesmee - he falls for her while she's still a foetus because of werewolf soulbond crap.

(I have a pet peeve about 'paedophilia' being used to describe relationships it doesn't apply to...this may be because I once had a relationship with someone younger than me. Not a foetus, I hasten to add, and nothing illegal would have been involved had that become relevant.)

It's what I'm trying to understand.

It may have something to do with the fact that the Earth's population is composed of 58% double X chromosomes.

and 90% never read enny book from start to end.... :

Oh, I know, my sister tells me Twilight is what "got her started reading". Now the sum total of her literary experience is Twilight, Mills and Boon and other romantic crap. My twin sister, though, has resisted the urge, and reads good literature. So all hope is not lost. Once all the movies come out hopefully people will forget about it and Twilight will be a forgotten, albeit very dark, chapter in our literary history.

EDIT: Scratch that. Anyone who calls Twilight literature doesn't know the meaning of the word.

[beru]

give her gardens of the moon and say you read twilight if she reads taht one and still thinks twilight is better...

[MTS]

No, I've tried. "Fantasy is boring, it's just all elves and dwarves and gay little hobbits!" Even after explanation that it's not LotR - at all - and that SE is so amazing he has someone take on 5 dragons and WIN, she still wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. More's the pity.

[beru]

then star with somthing else... somthing not hard fiction (so that it can happen) like... somthing... mabe thieves like us or somthing...

Why? What part of the previous post made out that I like insipid romantic fantasy because of my XX chromosomes?

I meant in the sense that openings for jokes were equal for both parties.

Well I was whinging about the insinuation that women are all vapid morons

[beru]

well never met a boy that like twilight (tho i have seen a good lot of male fools 'round too)
