Jami T. (scowlette) reviewed Not into it. on 2/4/2009 + 3 more book reviews

I am going to be the odd one out, but I sincerely dislike the Twilight series. Twilight doesn't bring anything new to the vampire nor the young adult cannon. It is not very well written either. This has been called "abstinence porn" by critics. I found these books to showcase regressive roles for woman, to be hetreocentric, and to propagate "the one" myth (that there is only one person you will love for the rest of your life). I was especially unhappy that the main female character, Belle, is stripped of all sexual agency and autonomy. Some parts geniunely creeped me out and not for any supernatural reasons. These are my impressions only and while I understand many people enjoy these books (as is their right) I did not.
