They Read It So We Didn't Have To: Twilight

This is a new segment we're adding to the blog called "They Read It So We Didn't Have To". We sometimes hear other people complain about books so much that we don't even want to waste the time reading them ourselves. So, why not let the poor sots who went through the trouble of reading the crackpot lit speak for themselves? What follows is a collection of links to other readers reviews of individual Twilight books or critiques of the series as a while, and because the Twilight series is of such wide cultural influence, there are a few references to the Twilight movies as well. These links are arranged vaguely by topic for your reading pleasure.

Do you have strong opinions about the Twilight series? If the articles above haven't prompted you to at least be superficially critical of these books, then I don't want to hear about it. And if you haven't read Twilight, you can relax, because they read it so you didn't have to!
