[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bella is not a fully formed person. She is a reflection of what Edward wants, and exists entirely for Edward's benefit. If I had a particularly impressionable child Bella is not the model I would want for her before entering the dating world.

My daughter read the books at age 11 because her entire social group did. I read them first. I told her why I thought the characters were horrible (Edward may be physically around Bella's age, but he's a vampire. How creepy that he's perving on Bella!) and the problems with the relationship. That's basically how we do things - she can read what she wants, but if I think it's horrible she has to endure my literary critique. [/quote]

I think it would be ok to read, but then discuss with an eye toward this PP's comment. I have a 40 something year old friend who got sucked into Twilight, is less mature, and has now decided she wants her relationships to be this way  :shock:  The book is fairly good until you get to the part where Bella is "supposed" to die in an auto accident--and Edward saves her. After she is saved, he has to keep on saving and saving and saving her. As long as your daughter and you talk about the book, it would be ok. [/quote]
