Twilight Review

Stephenie Meyer is a fabulous author! I definitely recommend the sequels to Twilight. She doesn't let you down with the next three books at all! They're all great!

Mediocre

I've read many young adult novels and a few vampire novels before reading Twilight. The hype around this book was crazy, and with a movie coming out, I was excited to read this book. Unfortunately, I was not impressed.

The book was entertaining, but nothing more than that. Maybe if I was in high school, I would have enjoyed it more. What I didn't like: the message, the characters, and the relationship.

Like another review wrote, the message is really bad for girls. A pretty girl meets a pretty boy, and life is meaningless without him. I've read so many young adult books for girls that is empowering towards women. It's another Cinderella story of a beautiful girl devoted to a beautiful boy. Shallow.

Bella Swann comes off as any pretty, a little socially awkward, clumsy high school girl. This is realistic. However, if you're going to make a perfect vampire fall in love with a human for the first time, shouldn't she be a little more interesting? A little more wise? A little more dark? I don't know, but she is lacking. And Edward is perfect and cocky. BO-RING!

And their relationship. She smells good. He looks good. They have a few conversations. It really seems like she fell in love with his good looks. Why do I think that? Because he has no personality.

I'm still going to the rest of the series, but my standards won't be as high.

Twilight

I love books about vampires and feel this is well written. Can't wait to read the other three books.

As good as the buzz, even for us adults

Ok, so I'm new to this series, I saw someone reading it on a plane Sunday and picked one up too, having never HEARD of it. Also felt a little silly going to the YA section to get it, but whatever, it was worth it. The book is amazing. The author can somehow propel the readers back to that completely awkward highschool experience and also throw in an arm-tingling, breathless, chilling, sometimes heartbreaking story all at the same time. I couldn't put it down. Finished it in 4 days and went out for the rest. I put it up there second to my favorite series, Harry Potter, and I'll admit it, I'm 33 year old mom. Give it a try.

Twilight - not another teen novel

This book is amazing! Not just for teens. I am 40 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought the entire series and am almost finished the second book, New Moon.
