So Dad couldn't find Casino Royale last week. He decided to read Twilight (The Twilight Saga) instead. Despite Mom's teasing that "It's a teenage girl's book!" Dad believes that one is never too old for a good book. A person can be too young for a good book--for example, when Dad was 13 years old, he couldn't get past the first sentence of To Kill a Mockingbird. A year later, however, he couldn't put it down and has reread that book at least once since then.
So far, though, he's finding it hard slogging. He really doesn't like Bella that much. Dad's wondering if it's going to be like The Catcher in the Rye where lots of teenage boys related to the book, but teenage girls didn't get it. Only in reverse: teenage girls absolutely love Edward and Bella's adventures, and boys scratch their heads thinking, "What's the big deal?"
