A review of "Twilight" books

The review argues that Twilight is just a female mirror image of boy movies like Die Hard, and that the reason why there is so much vitriol aimed at it is because of its conspicuous lack of male following. The author suggests contemporary culture equates lack of male following as equivalent to lack of "universality", while the same is not true for movies that lack female following. A subtle point, but very true from what I can tell.
