Will read New Moon (2008-10-05)

I enjoyed "Twilight", definitely more for the vampire stuff, than the romance. My main annoyance with the book is that there is too much eye-gazing going on. But that isn't going to stop me from reading "New Moon".

Mediocre, but good enough to while away an afternoon (2008-09-24)

I picked up this book because I like vampire novels and the cover was very well done. But despite all the gushing reviews and word of mouth in regards to this book, I wasn't overly impressed.Apart from the technical issues (poor plot pacing, awkward sentences, one dimensional characters) this book doesn't deserve the hype that it has received. It doesn't send out a good message, I thought, in making the heroine so weak and obsessed with a guy who keeps staring at her and watches her sleep. I think that's called stalking and is pretty illegal. It's not romantic. It's creepy.Not to mention the unfathomable reason an 108 year old would have for jonesing on a 17 year old. I was a 17 year old. I teach 17 year olds and despite a few moments of brilliance, the idea of someone so much older being obsessed with someone that young WITHOUT any real good reason is poor writing and holds no water.The characters had no real chemistry and didn't really stand out much. They were horribly generic, except for Jacob Black. He was the one realistic person in the entire book. I honestly glossed over the parts with Edward and I couldn't get a decent image of what Bella would be like. I understand that she is supposed to be a blank slate for the reader to insert themselves in, but the device failed. Would I recommend this book to a teenage girl? No. I would point them in the direction of the LJ Smith books, or Robin Mckinley or Annette Curtis Klause instead.

A nice lecture for those lonely nights (2008-09-16)

I read the whole Twilight saga over the course of two weeks. I have to say that the first installment was superior to the following books though. Even though the book is aimed at a younger audience, I still could not put it down even though I am thirty one years old. I think that it is easy to relate to the main character, Bella. Haven't we all felt that we did not fit in. And, let's be honest, haven't we all dreamt of a mysterious love interest like Edward. Stephenie Meyer as an easy flowing style of writing. She gives just enough description when needed and does not shy away from the action. I would definitely recommend this book to all you girls out there in need of a dark love story to keep you up at night.

If you could only read one book, make it this one... (2008-09-12)

Honestly, I've read many good books, this one is the best... Trust me, you'll love this book! Okay, maybe only girls from ages 12-19 should read it, but honestly, if I could only read one book for the rest of my life, it would be twilight... It'll leave you begging for New Moon, Eclispe, and Breaking Dawn!

Good story, but definitely made for a young female reader (2008-09-03)

I bought this book at an airport for lack of finding anything else to read. I finished it in 2 days. Now that is good...and bad. I have to admit that the story captivated me, but it was too easy to read...way too easy. I liked the characters, but towards the end, I wished Bella would stop mentioning just how good looking Edward was all the time! If I had read this at 15, I would of loved it. Now at 25, I've read too much to appreciate it fully. I have to admit though, the way she described how she was feeling the first time she was in love really did bring me back to being 17. But this is the thing, it felt like a harlequin novel for teens, with the twist being that she's in love with a vampire. Which is what intrigued me to read this book in the first place. Also, there is a lot of repetition towards the end, which frustrated me the most, because I was taken away from the story and started to think about the author and why she used a certain word again, say this again... I'm undecided if I'll read the others, to see if the book matures, but from the reviews, I have a feeling it does not. OH, and I thought for a second of my boyfriend reading this and I actually laughed out loud at the thought. Definitely geared for girls.
