Just my opinion, don't send me death threats

I'll say it.
I'll blaspheme.
I know I will offend most of you. A few of you will end our friendship. Some of you might even threaten my life, or the life of my cat.
But I can no longer stay silent.

I don't understand the appeal of Twilight.

I've heard women from 9 years to-50 years rave about the stories. Even a few guys.

So I thought I'd at least give it a shot. I got the first book from the library. And now after 3 weeks and 350 pages, I'm bored.
It's slow, repetative, I can't quite figure out what the plot is suppose to be, and it's kinda scary.
No, not vampire scary, but Edwards-gets-bored-at-night-and-watches-Bella-sleep scary. When I was in high school we called that stalking. Now it's called love.

I've heard so much about the love story, and I don't really see a love story here. I see an obsession and a struggle over self control.
Some women (and I'm talking grown women here) have expressed a desire for a man, like Edward, who would give up everything, and deny themselves because they are so in love a woman.

If that's you,( and I say this 100% judgement free) then put down the Twilight series, and pick up your Bibles. Read Hosea, read John. The love story is true, better, and has a happier ending. :0)
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one those nay-sayers who think books like these are evil and will destroy our civilization. Maybe it can even be of some good if it helps you to recognize an unfulfilled longing within yourself. I hope you all find what you're looking for, I do.

But I think the problem is that women read books like these, or watch chick flicks and beleive that people like this exist (I'm talking about romantics not vampires) and that if they could only meet him then their lives would be happy.

But they never pursuit the one relationship that can truely make them happy. And that's why these twi-hards make me so sad.
