I found this on Facebook and simply had to post it somewhere. It says what I have always felt about the Twilight Saga, in a much more intelligent and elegant way than I ever could have put it.
“But when a saga popular with pre-adolescent girls peaks romantically on a night that leaves the heroine to wake up covered with bruises in the shape of her husband’s hands — and when that heroine then spends the morning explaining to her husband that she’s incredibly happy even though he injured her, and that it’s not his fault because she understands he couldn’t help it in light of the depth of his passion — that’s profoundly irresponsible.”

People ask me why I don't like Twilight and I do not know where to begin. This review sums it up quite nicely, though.
We'll have to talk about this more later. Currently, I am in serious need of sleep.
