From:I read it. It was fun. It had plot holes, but honestly not any bigger than in Harry Potter. It had a female main character that I probably would have been friends with in school - I was a rather overly dramatic teen, and even young adult - and there were "vegetarian" vamps and guardian werewolves! Yay!
What can I say? I chewed the bubblegum and enjoyed it.
The stalking thing? Came under the heading of vampire, in my mind, and most of the violence came under the heading of supernatural shit.
I honestly didn't even notice anyone saying Bella had to stay a virgin, and I remembered the difficulties of balancing a boyfriend and friends - a problem that haunted me right through my marriage and last boy friend. Seeing as how Twilight involved vampires and werewolves, I figured Bella's problems in this area was a bit exagerrated.
As a parent, well, my daughter hasn't read the book, mostly because she hates to read novels - but we did go and see the movie today. She's 11 and hid her face at even the vaguest hint of romance. All she wanted to see were the fight scenes.
:-)
But, while we have not had big discussions about stalkery behavior and choices about when to have sex in relation to Twilight, The Girl is a HUGE Buffy fan, and we have had many discussions on these topics in relation to Buffy and Angel. (She is allowed to get a new season for each birthday. We are up to season four.) Most of the time she rolls her eyes and reminds me that the show is a fantasy.
:-)
I would love it if Twilight made her read a novel. She adores manga and short ghost stories, but doesn't like novels.
And of course manga - you know there's no issues on the images of girls in manga. *snicker*
So of course we talk about it.
She rolls her eyes some more, often telling me all the little points about abusive characters, bad choices, good choices, and "what would I do in a similar situation."
Maybe I'm complacent, but I don't think so. I just don't think that there is that much to get worried about with this book.
