Yes, I was one of those people that thought Twilight was amazing. I read the books over Labor Day weekend 2008. Yes, I read all of them over 5 days. I didn't sleep much and I think I forgot to feed myself and my family at times over that weekend as well. I don't know, the whole weekend was hazy. Bella Swan was in my head. She was constantly rambling on about Edward and Jacob and about how she pretty much sucked. Which was true. She sucked really bad. In looking back at it, the whole series is a horrible example for young girls. It makes them think that if they are whiny babies and their guy doesn't put up with it, then it must not be love. It makes them think that if the guy isn't obsessive over them, then it isn't true love like Bella and Edward. Then throw in the friend Jacob who falls for a newborn...well that is just crazy. So yes in my opinion...Twilight killed a vampire. It killed the whole idea of vampires. Not even the scary ones in this series are scary. They are just mildly frightening. Mildly in the fact that their eyes are red instead of golden. I mean seriously...these vampires don't even have fangs! They just gnaw you to death I guess. There are way cooler vampires out there.
