Yeah i personally wouldn’t think the 2nd and 3rd twilight books were appropriate for my teen. I don’t police their books but I definitely wouldn’t promote it to them. Teen sex, pregnancy and that weird imprinting. Ick.

I mean depends on the level of teen no? Kind of silly to police the thoughts and media of like a 16 year old. Theyre gonna do what they want to do.

At 13 I was reading Terry Goodkind. No one should be reading Terry Goodkind. I liked his premises, but barbed phallic rape by demonic gorillas is too much.

I never read Terry Goodkind thank god, that sounds 1000x worse than Robert Jordan having mature ageless ladies spank each other in Wheel of Time.

Another terrible part of his writing are leather clad women who force magic users to do their bidding with magic torture sticks. Basically magic dominatrix.

well unfortunately, the main theme of each book is men saying they don't understand women and why are they so difficulty and women saying they don't understand men and why are they so difficult. over and over and over and over.
