Lexiconer Needs Research Help

Hello Twilight fan!  I am studying Twilight in my college Studies in Young Adult Literature class and I have a few questions to ask you about your experience with the series!  Your name/email address WILL remain anonymous when I present my findings to my professor and classmates!  Answer as many of the following questions as you would like—in as many sentences as you like.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me slightlynorsk@gmail.com.  Thank you!

  • Why did you choose to read Twilight and its sequels?  Did someone recommend them to you?  Did you see Twilight at a bookstore and thought the cover was really great?  Did you read a review and decide to check it out?  Did you see the movie and think it was so excellent you just HAD to read the books?  Etc…
  • Why do you think the Twilight series is such a phenomenon, not only in the United States but across many cultures?
  • How many times have you read Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn?
  • Which of the four (or five if you include Midnight Sun) was your favorite?  Why?
  • Are you a Jacob fan or an Edward fan?  Or maybe someone else?  Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, etc…
  • If you’re a young adult reader, do you think you will continue reading Twilight and its sequels as you get older?  Will you still be able to relate to the story?
  • Have you seen the Twilight movie?  How many times?
  • Do you think the Twilight movie held up your expectations of the story?
  • Will you go see New Moon when it comes out later this year?
  • What are your other favorite books you have read that continue to be ones you read over and over again?  Did you read them before or after the Twilight series?

EDITED: Can we ask that you please email the responses and not put them here as very long posts with number triggest our spam filter and it’s making a lot of extra work for the admins.
