My daughter, who was one of Twilight's biggest fans (and early too, before it was really hyped, she was getting all of her friends to read it) was thoroughly disgusted by the fourth book and now refuses to have anything to do with any of it. Why? Because of the incongruence of vampires having no fluids yet Edward was able to impregnate Bella. She couldn't reconcile that..lol. I said "So you're turned off from books about vampires and werewolves because of it includes an event that is impossible?" She was able to understand the irony of that, but stuck by it anyway!

Isn't that what Kiely was singing about?

Stephenie Meyer is Mormon, I wasn't surprised when I got to that part, but thoroughly disgusted yes.

Please don't. It's a good book series but the movies are sucky and none of them can act and RPats sounds like a girl to me. Worst Edward ever.

When I first read Twilight I only knew one other girl who knew about, and she was the one who told me about it in the first place. The fourth book is all kinds of screwed up.

It can be an entertaining book series, but I can't acknowledge that it's good. I read all sorts of fluff and crap that I'd never admit to my stuck up friends (or I wouldn't have before, now it's all on my goodreads) and as long as people read Twilight that way, ok fine. But damn all the tweens and grown up 35-50 year old women who sat outside bookstores mooning over *~*Edward*~* when in reality he's a 117 some years old emotionally abusive teenager.
