Breaking Desk
Aug. 2nd, 2008 09:40 pmOkay, so I am reading the new Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, and it is the stupidest thing I have ever read.
Holy crap.
I... I can't even put into words how BAD this book is, guys. It is BAD. B-A-D.
Also, I'm kind of horrified that this book is being marketed towards young teens. This book is NOT appropriate for younguns. Not just death or violence or characters having to go through hard things, but some really twisted stuff. Guys, I saw some really young kids at the release party last night*, like 9-10-11 years old, and it really bothers me that they are reading this crap right now.
Especially after so many parents made such a stink about Harry Potter. So many parents wouldn't let their kids read HP because it was full of witchcraft and would turn kids into evil satanists... but there is no one making a stink over kids reading this horrible stuff. I mean, at least HP had a good underlying message of "yay friendship and love and growing and being strong!" Twilight has no such message, it's just Bella being a Mary-Sue. But somehow it's okay to let kids read this awful stuff just because it was written by a Mormon and technically contains no directly sexual scenes?
So yeah. I hate that kids are reading this. I really hope it comes to the attention of some parents, or some news channels or something, and a big stink is made. Because kids should not be reading some of the stuff in this book.
EDIT: BUT AT LEAST SHE SPELLED "DUST MOTES" CORRECTLY THIS TIME. That is really all that matters.
*Yes, we went to the release party. If was full of lols. Details later. With pictures and video.
Holy crap.
