NY Times & MTV

The New York Times has reviewed Twilight and Larry blogged with his thoughts about it. He says,

"Where the article gets interesting is when Collins discusses a generation of girls growing up with the supposedly unrealistic expectation of finding a hunk like Edward who just wants to cuddle."

So according to Collins, it's wrong to have high standards? Just think of all the losers Stephenie Meyer prevented us from going out with! *cheers for Stephenie and Larry, boos the bitter Collins woman*

Twilight fans on MTV have reacted to the EW cover. It's funny.

Collins does not understand that when you put a romantic quote out of the context and you do not know the whole story that it sounds weird and creepy. You need to see Bella and Edward's relationship grow to understand why they are saying those things. She is misprepresenting the book and she has stupid opinions. AND shes old. HA!
Needless to say she will never be my best friend.

I don't think that there is a boy like Edward out there, but Collins is nuts. Stepheine has given girls standers, and not to just take any guy who happens to look your way. I so agree that she took that quote out of context it makes us all sound like we are reading a cheesy romance novel. When you don't see the work that Edward and Bella both had to get do to get to that point. She made us all sound like some yelling fan girls.

ughhhhhh... why o why is some old lady who doesnt even understand the books writing a poorly opinionated article on it????? she doesnt understand it at all!!!!!! she should die in a hole... and what does she want... us to just be like ok well i know i should have no standards so i will find myself a street corner? i had standerds before i read the book. its just the kind of girl i am. and my standards have to do with a guy genuinly liking me for me

IT'S FICTIONAL! Geez... Perhaps Collins is right but I agree with you Nyera. It is perfectly fine to have standards. It is those standards that will guide us girls through the ever-complicated world of GUYS. What a flake!
