Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - Is This Book a Classic?

What this episode covers

In this episode, Liz and Trudy read Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” and talk about whether it will one day be considered a classic. In this episode, Liz and Trudy ask why the Twilight series became the subject of such ridicule online. At one time, fans of the books were the butt of late-night jokes, they were ranted about by YouTubers and in 2009, a group of people actually stormed Comic-Con and shouted ‘Twilight sucks’ over and over again. Despite this, the series has been a huge popular success, selling over 160 million copies worldwide.What does that popular success tell us about life in the early 2000s? Why was the book so successful, and why is Bella so clumsy in the books? Should we be Team Edward or Team Jacob? Will “Twilight” be a future classic? All this will be explored in the episode.
