Pretty Twilight Boys

When writing a blog about pretty boys, the Twilight saga has to be part of the deal. There are just too many shirtless teens running around in various sequences to ignore it. And I heard that some girls like it, too. But that might be only rumor. After all, cute boys usually are gay or bisexual, the heterosexual kind is called good looking.


The Twilight saga has earned anything from highest praise to deepest damnation. Bestseller it is, and nobody ever claimed that to write a bestseller you had to be a literary genius. Likewise, having written a bestseller doesn't make you a Shakespeare either. I'm sure, Stephenie Meyer can live with that. She managed to churn out the sequels fast enough to ride the wave, and that is an accomplishment in itself. To apply exacting literary quality standards to sequel writers is like comparing Richard Wagner's Ring to One Direction.

The Twilight vampires and their creepy crawly friends and enemies are here for pure enjoyment, not philosophical debate. And the stories do entertain without taxing the brain, what more do you expect? The casters of the movies were kind enough to pile in as many eye candies as they possibly could. Go to see the movies and feast your eyes on lots of teen boy skin, abs, pecs, biceps and (almost) all. If the story line is a bit thin in logic at times, at least the naked boy torsos are piled in thick.
