I'm a bit aggravated after reading this article only because I feel the book has been misrepresented. I feel that the writer of the article made the book seem like a bad read for a teenage girl even though there is a paragraph on how "Christian-like" the book is. If anything, I think parents would not allow them to read the book for the reason of the sex paragraph. The writer made it seem that the only reason why Bella and Edward don't have sex is because Edward would want to bite Bella. If you write an article about a beloved series, I suggest that you should maybe check in with the author before misinterpreting the story. We, Twilight fans, would not want Stephenie's books to be seen as something that should not be read because it is too mature. I did not finish the article because I was annoyed at the fact that the books are being represented so I apologize if you later did appraise the book.

As far as Cabot's comment...I'm extremely upset. Honestly, anti-feminist?! What is the world coming to? Bella is a unique person who is anything but ordinary. She conveys to young teenage girls that being your own person is very important. There is nothing wrong with showing love for another and expressing it. If anything...we, as a country, should be taught to love more than anything.
