hi i am 12 years old and ive read the twilight series. this is the most amazing series of books ive ever read. i dont see why people have a problem with letting younger children reading them because they are perfectly fine. i mean yes breaking dawn has sex in it but it isnt discriptive. i read twilight again for the 2nd time last week and read it in 2 days. they are that addictive. i mean honestly parents need to let kids read what they want. i dont think it matters on the content i think it matters on the maturity level. i have cried several times in the series especially in new moon. you just get hooked. i call it my drug because im so addicted. my friend has read twilight 7 times. and my parents or her parents dont have a problem with them at all. i am very excited for the movie just like everyone else. but the right age for twilight is around 12 and up. theyre big books for younger kids especially. but a nine year old reading it doesnt seem right to me because i dont think they would be able to get into it. so yeah. 12-up is a good age i think. or maybe even 11.
thanks-
dont judge the books…im 12 and these are the best books on earth! the mature content is notin compared to things u see on tv k?
