Twilight.

I decided to read Twilight during my winter break so that I can understand what the hysteria is all about with pre-teen and teen girls. I am over half way through the book and I am undecided as to how I feel about it. It is an interesting story, yet I am so tired of reading about Edward's beauty. His eyes are smoldering, glowing, and dazzling. His muscles ripple, his smell is intoxicating, and his teeth are perfectly spaced and gleaming white. His movements are swift and graceful and he stops every female in her tracks. I GET IT! If I took out all the descriptions about Edward, I would have about 5 pages left. I guess the author really wants us to understand that vampires are hot. Too bad about the whole blood-sucking thing.
