[QUOTE="Evie, post: 2002311, member: 225302"] Personally I kinda hate twilight. I read it when I was about 9 or 10, but now I'm 13. And before all you 'Twihards' have a go at me for judging them when I haven't even read them, I HAVE read it!! I loved it but now I DON'T! Here are my reasons: 1.

And that you should sacrifice your own life for a baby!
