Twilight is Like Diet Coke...

Twilight and Harry Potter are books in the same way Diet Coke is "healthy". Both statements are true but only based on a technicality. Diet Coke is healthier than regular Coke (I guess). Twilight and Harry Potter are books in that they are written down narratives but come on is this really literature.

Diet Coke is supposed to be a healthy alternative but its still filled with tons of calories and aspartame which has been linked to some serious health issues. Plus people that drink Diet Coke become obsessed with it. I have never seen people drink one diet coke - they drink it all day! You know what I am talking about, the Diet Coke lovers who you see chugging it down all day starting with their obligatory 9am bottle or can. These folks think they are avoiding type two diabetes but instead they are just filling their bodies with horrible sugar replacements and empty calories.

Its the same with Twilight. People think they are doing something good for themselves but instead they are just becoming addicted to to a crap disguised as a book. Seriously? teenage vampires and werewolves? Don't even get me started again on how played out this whole plot is. If you are interested please feel free to read my rant on how big a rip off Twilight is here.

Twilight is just so damn awful. Its hacky, it uninspired, and its really geared toward 13 year old Goth girls. Is Diet Coke healthier than regular Coke? Maybe. Is it still bad for you? Definitely. Does Twilight have compelling characters? Yes, it has compelling characters who were created hundreds of years ago by other authors. Is Twilight a book? Yes. Is it a good one? Time will probably tell but I am betting that Twilight will not be remembered fondly.
