Had it not been for my Twitter feed, the fuss over Twilight very well would have bypassed my filter (clearly, I’m the parent of a preschooler not a tween/teen). I did take a moment to get up to speed via Friday’s Boston Globe review, and laughed out loud over this capsule box, whose rating description includes “fervidly repressed adolescent sexuality.” In reality, the (far less salacious) rating descriptor is “some violence and a scene of sensuality.”

actually, if you go so far to read the books, you will be totally appalled at the values they promote. not to mention that they could have *really* used some more sex.

I, too, would have missed the whole Twilight phenomenon had it not been for Twitter. It’s probably as good as people say it is but chances are I probably will never see it or read the books. I get wary about commercial fads. Wonder if that means I need to be wary about mom blogging as well. Hmmm.
