Okay, there probably isn't one person below the age of sixteen in America that has not heard of Twilight, the first of the four-book saga. It is a phenomonon, a new era, and I hope just a phase.

Besides the complete lack of an interesting plotline, its characters are unrealistic and remain in the rudimentary stages of character developement. Sadly, most teens are more concerned with the fact that it is their ultimate daydream, rather than an actual well-written, intriguing literary work.

Yes, vampires are cool. Yes, alot of us would be out-of-our-minds if we ever met one, let alone gained a close relationship with a few. But after the scenario is set (vampire falls for human), what more is there? The book seems as if some teen with underdeveloped writing skills simply tossed together some random fantasies she's had.

The attention the story got, and is currently getting, is absolutely ridiculous, especially when books like Harry Potter (J.K Rowling) or Mediator (Med Cabot, true examples of brilliant writing, are out there. All I can wish for is that this is simply a phase.
