This is going to sound awfully po-faced but, given that Twilight appears to appeal to a greater proportion of females than males, wouldn't it have been nice if the female characters were portrayed so strongly that we may have been talking about Team Bella?
I'm a particular fan of the His Dark Materials trilogy and the focal character, Lyra, is portrayed as strong, independent, intelligent, and having a strong relationship with a powerful male character, but very much being an equal force in the relationship. I know this is completely off topic but children's literature is going to help define how the next generation of women (and men) think about themselves. It's kind of important.
It's an amazing trilogy. Apparently teenagers enjoy them but, to me, there are some very adult themes in the book. The author did a wonderful job of speaking on more than one level at once. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Team Edward or Jacob????

You have to be kidding. She looks moody enough as it is. Would you really want to risk making her face even sourer? God help the mirrors of the world!

That's one of the best things I've read today. I kind of get it now. I'm even starting to see her as marginally attractive.
You may have just gained yourself competition. :P

I thought I was going to get hate for that comment. It seems more popular these days to be ignorant and insulting about these things. :)
His Dark Materials trilogy? I have never heard of it, but it sounds interesting enough for me to check out!
