I understand that most people either love or hate this series. Personally I think it is an abortion of literature; there is a lack of character developement, a
redundant plot, and not to mention the 'unique' take on vampires is, well, so far out there I dont think the title "vampire" even applies.
Needless to say I found a lot of things wrong with this book. No offence to Twilighters, its a cute story, but as an english major I just cant justify it. I
digress...
Here is my deliema; I took a Young Adult Lit. class this semester. To my surprise Twilight was on the reading list. I have spent weeks trying to figure out why my favorite professer would chose this book. I am hopeing that young adult lit. has a its own formula and is just something that I havent gotten a chance to explore. If not- could someone tell me how this book has any literary merrit. I have searched for figurative language, symbols, irony, and many more lit. devices and havent come up with anything at a college level. So if anyone had any ideas please tell me. If not I will seriously suggest reading Tales from the Dark Tower; she is a Chauser fan and this is a fantastic example of framing fiction...and in my opinion well written, unlike this Twilight nonsence.

) who portray Edward and Bella aren't even that nice-looking, in my opinion.
Does this mean that now I'm going to have to
beat off tons of underaged girls with a stick, since I dress all in black the majority of the time, as I have for years now?
