You come home to find your 17-year-old daughter engrossed in a book. Which would delight you more - if it were 'Twilight' or 'Middlemarch?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If a child wants to read 'Twilight' over Middlemarch, they should be encouraged - the important thing is to get them reading in the first place.
My own daughter is a big fan of the 'Twilight' stories, the books.
Kids definitely go into bookstores after reading 'Twilight' and want something else like it.
I'm the weird person who completely loved and devoured 'Middlemarch' but who has not finished far shorter and more readable books due to distraction or the fact that by some miracle I am sleeping through the night.
I read all the books for 'Twilight.'
To be completely honest, I didn't know 'Twilight' was a book.
'Harry Potter' made it cool to read children's fiction, and 'Twilight' did the same for a slightly older age group. What I'm seeing is mothers and daughters who love to read the same books.
'Twilight' passed like a fever through the sophisticated reader and the unsophisticated reader alike. People devoured those books in single sittings, over weekends, with a kind of raw intensity that is rare.
It does not matter what film you're making. If you're young and there's romance in the movie, it's compared to 'Twilight'.
'Twilight's got some avid - and rabid - fans.
