I have nothing against Twilight (I admit, I did read the entire series and see its addictive qualities), but this made me laugh a little on the inside.

Edwart saves her from a flying snowball!”). [EW]

Point 3: Meyer is an incredible storyteller, skillfully mastering the art of crafting a compelling cliffhanger. This, of course, makes Twilight positively addictive despite its flaws. Read the Full Review of Twilight
