The Demographics of the Twilight Saga

in Twilight

200903121314.jpg Amanda Bell at the Examiner wonders if the stories of Twilight being nearly 100% tween-based are true. She asks–

Critics of the Twilight Series suggest (sometimes often) that there is only one type of fan of the series: that which consists of young, teenage girls. However, the demography of a Twilight fan might be slightly more complex and vast than critics of the series and its popularity would like to admit.

The demography of a Twilight and New Moon fan

    I am a 57 year young Grandma of 6 and I love the Twilight books ( have read them 3 times and watch the first movie 10 times). I wish for all you out there to find an Edward.
  • Ok... so what they're saying is that loads of people who are not teens like Twilight too? I SO knew that :]
  • hey Delena, could you not use all caps? It makes it look like you are
    yelling.
  • Dazzled
    I knew there were many more out there who loved the stories like I do. My daughter introduced the books to me. I've read them several times now and we talk about them often anticipating the DVD release and New Moon. I also remember that intoxicating first love of my teens. I read this fantastic website most days just to see whats new.

    Well, I have everyone beat, I am 55 & have a 16 yr old granddaughter & we saw the movie together a few times. I have read the series, though & she hasn't yet. Hope to get her to read it soon. BTW, several of my friends that are in their mid 40's & 50's love the series & loved the movie too.

    im only 13....but i think im extremely mature for my age(most of the time)
  • Twilightbam
    I am in my 40's and know many people of both sexes varying in age from 10 to 70 who have enjoyed reading this series. There are so many ways to connect to the story. I love that it has touched such a variety of people. We need more stories that can do that.

    Well I can beat all of you I'm 40, much as I don't like to admit it!

    I love all the Twilight books, I couldn't put them down and was reading till 3 or 4 because I just had to read one more chapter, this isn't good when you have to get up at 7 to go to work.

    Stephanie herself said she didn't write them for teenagers, thats just where the publishers decided to pitch the books. A good story is a good story, nobodies going to tell me what I should or shouldn't read. How many adults have read and enjoyed the Harry Potter books? They are supposed to be for children too.
  • Caroline
    I'm 26 and I love the books (I am reading them for my fourth time now) and I loved the movie. My sister is 34 and she is the one who insisted I read the books first because she knew I would want to see the movie. We are both big fans.
  • Chris10
    I'm 30 and I'm hooked. My friend and I even went to Forks. She has another friend in Seattle so we took a few extra days and checked out all the Twilight places. I'd go back in a heart beat. I'm trying to talk her into a trip to Vancouver right now!
  • raz
    My wife picked up all 4 books after seeing the movie, shes 27. I read them after her because I finished the book I was reading and read all 4 in 3 days and I'm 31. Definitely don't fit the "tween girl" demographic.
