The Twilight books seem to be the biggest teen & tween reading phenomenon since Harry Potter. They are about vampires and romance, but I am told they are startlingly wholesome, glorifying abstinence and other moral values. The author, Stephenie Meyer, is a Mormon. Now the first book has been made into a movie and is a huge hit. See this article: NO SEX, VIOLENCE OR STARS, YET #1: ‘Twilight’ Takes Biggest $70.5M Bite Out Of Box Office Weekend.
Can anybody speak about these books or the movie? Have you or your progeny read them? I’m not picking up any Christian objections, justified or not, as there were for Harry Potter. How is Twilight’s portrayal of vampires different from Harry Potter’s portrayal of witches, so as to make the former less problematic?
