Terrible, well renowned novelists

I was about to write what what's been said above me almost exactly. But I will just agree. Whole heartedly.

It's like calling Where's Wally? a poor book for it's lack of depth and decent literature.

It's aimed at teenagers. Teenagers are perfectly capable of doing better. I did better and like many people I routinely made poor decisions back then.

It's aimed at 14-16 year olds. At that age I was reading Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, and was probably reading Dune.
That's not even really the issue thought, but at that age kids can be reading some really amazing stuff and Twilight is the exact opposite of that. Just because you're 20, 30, or 40 doesn't mean you can't say a book is a piece of crap because it isn't aimed for your age group. The Giver is aimed at kids 10-12 and I still think that it's an incredible book. The Redwall series has some really incredible books in it.
I liked A Prayer for Owen Meany, and I'm probably going to check out some of Irvings other books.
And know who's awesome AND well renowned....Oscar Wilde. The Picture of Dorian Grey is AMAZING. Now will someone please explain what it meant in the Victorian age to me?
Hat:
basically ripping on 19th century social mannerisms but OW also wore a lot of cravats so a lot of it is kind of a lot sly nods and gross exaggerations
