 nless you’re regularly surrounded by teenage girls, you’re probably wondering why everyone is making such a fuss about Twilight. Well, let me tell you (that is my job after all…I think). Twilight - the first in a series of novels by Stephenie Meyer - is about a special problem that affects all teenagers: forbidden vampire love. That’s right, it’s one of those teen fantasies that you see clogging the shelves at bookstores, but this one is a bit of a phenomena. The first novel alone has sold over 17 million copies and its internet fan community is as large and vocal as that of any Tolkien lover or Star Wars nerd.
These books are monstrous, yet chances are you haven’t heard of them (I know I sure hadn’t) and there’s good reason for that. Twilight is not Harry Potter. This is isn’t a classic children’s fantasy that is so well written that it will appeal to all audiences. No, this is a straight up teen girl fantasy that plays for a very specific crowd. It plays like gangbusters to that audience, but sadly anyone who is either over the age of 16 or has a penis will probably find themselves wondering what all the fuss is about (at least based on this first entry in the series. Perhaps the story gets more complex as the books progress. I just don’t care enough to find out).
