review 1: This was a surprisingly entertaining and engaging book that paired the Stephanie Meyer novels with historical contexts. Just like any academic essays, some we're better than others or more interesting than others. A few were downright stretches, but overall, this was a pretty stimulating read. I feel like it might be useful to show students an example of literary criticism that they can grasp at a beginning level.
review 2: As a non-Twilight fan and a budding academic, to me it seemed that some authors were willing to overlook facts and cut corners in their articles. However, the majority of them aren't irritatingly obvious about it (though while reading "Like Other American Families, Only Not" I felt like calling "Objection!" every two minutes) and argue their... more statements fairly well. All in all, I personally enjoyed learning more about American culture and collected many interesting sources from the bibliographies. less
