Posted by: Tony In: Rants & Raves

There’s no question the Twilight series of books from Stephanie Meyer has taken the world by storm. Teen and pre-teen girls as well as gown women are swooning over Edward and his hunky vampire brethren. The second movie in the series, New Moon opened last night to packed theaters.

The writing is horrible and the message the books send to young girls is all wrong, which is why the books should be studied in school.
