Harry Knowles a famous movie critic for the popular website AintItCool defends the “Twilight” books and the upcoming movie. He wrote a very good post and I agree with everything he said.

You know how guys around my age or older accuse the films and the books being for “tweens”. He explains that the “Twilight” series will help bring women of all ages to the horror genre more since most women are more into fantasy and romance.

He also explains that the “Twilight” series will help bring all people into a wider world of fandom. He explains how “Twilight” is for everyone, not just for “tween” girls and women of all ages. It can be for men of all ages too.

You men out there afraid to read the “Twilight” books? Don’t be. Do yourself a favor, go to the bookstore and start buying the series. “Twilight”, “New Moon”, “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn”. They are more than just vampire romance, they have something for everyone in the novels. Good storytelling and original.

I’m still reading “Eclipse”, the third book of the series, I’m halfway through it.

You can’t accuse “Twilight” being just for tweens when movies like the “Chronicles of Narnia”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter”, etc. Are all pretty much the same thing. Those other movies I listed have young “pretty boys” that tween girls drool over too.

“Twilight” is for everyone. Read the books, if not, see the movie, and you’ll see why people get into these “Twilight” stuff. Great storytelling that is a real page turner, Stephenie Meyer will get you hooked, trust me.
