Sad thing is..Not just young girls read it. There's hoards of 40 year old women that's obsessed with it. Frankly, I'm of the opinion that the books should be destroyed and the manuscript set on fire. Nothing good has come of that series except hoards of overly obsessed females (who harass people if they don't like twilight. Read an article where a teenager went a killed a child's fish because the child didn't like twilight) who are being taught that it's perfectly acceptable to be stalked.
