Comments on: What I thought of *Twilight* http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/11/26/what-i-thought-of-twilight/ Melding fiction and science in life and on paper Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:47:56 +0000 http://www.today.com/version-2.3.1 By: shakespeare http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/11/26/what-i-thought-of-twilight/#comment-508 shakespeare Thu, 27 Nov 2008 15:41:42 +0000 http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/11/26/what-i-thought-of-twilight/#comment-508 I haven't watched the film yet, but I've read the first three books, and I agree with the third one...it's my least favorite, and it's the reason I have yet to read the fourth one (though I have a friend with it, and she's lending it to me Monday). I think Edward appeals because he's what no man is at that age, wise, kind, and selfless. He's what no young man can actually be. I thought you'd like them, but so often we DON'T agree, I was afraid to suggest. You might also like the trilogy by Libba Bray I've mentioned in my blog. Different, but with some of the same tensions, only set at a girls school in pre-20th century England.
