[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 1176931"] I felt the need to reply. The hype is going insane! Especially with the release of the new movie. I totally agree with you. It's fustrating because these books (and society in general) is pushing/forcing maturity onto young girls...and it's just dumb. My friend said that she actually saw a 9-10 year old buying the book with her Mom. GAH! If anything, those books DEFINITELY ARE NOT BOOKS FOR 9 YEAR OLDS -_-. It's also annoying to me, because it seems like half-decent novels are being "ditched", I guess you could say. It's irritating because Twilight is not so much about reading, but more so, a trend. There are TONS and TONS of good books out there, but no one bothers reading them because they aren't "cool" enough -_-. For people who don't read much, I guess the books might be okay, but honestly, I think people need to expand their "library" of books they've read. Not just go on and on and ON about one specific novel. Anyways, I'm glad to know that not all 14 year olds have been brainwashed by these series, and still have good sense in books, lol. PS. Kite Runner made me cry...lol. [/QUOTE]
