just this one

I refuse to read any more of Stephenie Meyer's crap after I have wasted my time reading all four books in the Twilight series. Having said that, the first book is actually not that bad, the only one worth reading out of the four. We've all experienced it or wanted to experience: the head-over-heels-can't-live-without-you love. And girls want to be that one who gets to change the bad boy and make him settle with them. Meyer does her magic of making the readers think that they are Bella, and that they can be like Bella. Twilight is successful at getting the teenage girls giddy and full of false hope. If I had to give Meyer credit for one thing, besides gathering a cult-like following, is focusing on the fact that Bella has control over her life and makes her own decisions. She is impulsive, she is wrong, she is right, she doesn't know. This is a true teenage girl like behavior, but I do love that she is also trying to find herself besides finding Edward. I know, it's hard to believe that Bella even has her own identity in Twilight, because she later becomes either Jacob's girl or Edward's girl. In conclusion, if you want to find out for yourself what the phenomenon is all about, just stop after reading the first book.
