^^a postsecret item that reminded me of twilight fan art.
Over the past month or so, I've read the first and the last of the twilight novels, watched the recently released movie, and encountered four interesting related reviews.
1)The one on Mary's blog
2)The one on Stormfront (the largest gathering of "white nationalists" on the internet)
3)My absolute favorite (thank you very much Heidi)
4)and this deeply desturbing one by Caitlin Flanagan.
It's this last one that I'm interested in discussing right now. Certainly there's something to be said for treating the metaphors and sexuality in the story candidly, and certainly it's about time someone noticed (or perhaps I should say, noted) the underlaying message about sex and morality, and its connection to Stephanie Meyer's faith.
While not brilliantly written, this review is at least, for a change, intelligent--and I can't help feeling that it somehow misses the mark. I know a lot of my readership are twilight fans, and I know that they tend to be the quieter lot. . . . but I'm asking you now; what do you think of her analysis?
