cutepupster38 So during school the other day, I saw a 4th grader with a group of kids around her all comparing their books in the Twilight Series. In my opinion, they are a little young to be reading the Twilight Series, especially Breaking Dawn. Anyone else's thoughts? Really? surprised Wow, this is a bit of a dilemma.
On one hand, I'm all for young kids reading. I don't think kids nowadays read even half the number of books I did, and it wasn't so long ago that I was little. My cousin is only five years younger than me, in Grade 7, and he's still reading Amelia Bedelia, which is a great concern. On that note: great. Read Twilight.
On the other hand, I don't think Twilight is appropriate for kids...below the age of 12 or 13, let's say. Twilight is relatively tame, but at the end of the book it's mentioned that James is torn apart and put on fire. New Moon is relatively fine - unless you look at it from the emotional angle - but at the end we read how the Volturi massacre that group of tourists. And in Eclipse there's the fight with the newborns. I wouldn't let anyone under the age of 16 read Breaking Dawn.

I don't think that the violence is as much of a problem as the "love stuff"(trying to avoid giving too much away) that happens especially in Breaking Dawn.

Well I was thinking, hopefully, that fourth graders wouldn't know enough about that "love stuff" so they'd be clueless even if they read Breaking Dawn. But regardless, I wouldn't let them read Breaking Dawn.
The "love stuff" in the rest of the series is no problem for fourth graders. What's the worse they can say? "Ew, they kissed"?
