My 17 yo daughter has been a fan of Twilight for a year. I homeschool,so I never have much time to read fun fiction. I had to carve out time to read these books, she was so into them. Needless to say, I read them all in 2 1/2 days. WOW! I had no idea she was reading such a "dangerous" book. When I say dangerous...I mean spiritually.
I am a mature christian, 21 years a believer. Keeping a teens focus on God is hard enough already without the distraction of such wordly passion put into the mix. We are not to be of this world and this book makes this world to young, vulnerable readers delicious. My daughter thankfully has not waivered her faith from this saga, but has said,"If I would of found this 2 years ago I may of strayed."
The sexual passion in this book is very intense. The bible teaches us not to burn with desire for the flesh. This book is on fire with it. Yes, they don't actually have sex, but they can't because he may kill her. He is clear that he would cross the line in Eclipse. The only reason why they don't is due to her convincing him it would be best for her not to. Not that she is morally convicted to wait for marriage, because she dosen't want to doom his soul to hell.
Yes, the book is action packed, fun, romantic, exciting, suspensful and entertaining. I love the feeling of first love. Dosen't everyone...I even remember that far back. It was a nice escape for me for a couple of days. My daughter even wanted to read Pride and Prejudice. Although, that book is another story...Sorry, I am rambling.
My conclusion is I agree with Shawna. Unfortunatly, my daughter has influenced several other chritian girls to read this series, before I read it for myself. She won't be telling anymore teens to read it now.
