 Twilight January 6, 2009
Twilight is very well written. It's an easy read, and it's fasinating from the very beginning. I enjoyed it so much, I couldn't put it down. I finished it within the same day I started it! I also enjoyed the rest of the series!

I absolutely loved the Twilight saga. I bought the collector's edition to replace my tattered paperback. It cost the same as the regular hardcover (on amazon). I love the black on black scroll design, the built in bookmark and the case it comes in. What I do not like is that there isn't an optional sleeve to cover the cloth cover, and I guess I expected more. Like a nicer bookmark, or for it to have a dust jacket, etc.
Very hard to put down January 6, 2009
I am not normally interested in these types of books; but, this was very well written and I truly enjoyed the story.

totally sucked in by the series. though it is very predictable, it reads like every girl's dream. thus the money spending to read the books(more like skim the unnecessary blocks of text, to the main points). i've read 3 in 2 days so not quite sure what plot lies in which book, but her ideas are definitely NOT original. plot spoiler...but werewolves and vampires being foes? definitely not new. she is no jk rowling, but she knows how to play to the audience's love for dramatic romance and fantasy.

I read Twilight on vacation last week and was completely disappointed. I realize this book was written for young adults, but even young adults should be insulted at how juvenille it was. Setting the sci-fi aspect of the novel aside, the characters and their interactions were completely unrealistic. Anyone in HS knows better than to believe this is how teenagers behave. There was a bonfire on the beach without booze, cigarettes, hooking up or spin-the-bottle? There was talk of the dance and the prom, but no after-party or sex? It's unrealistic b/c even if the kids aren't doing it, they are still talking about it.
Aside from the problems I had with what I mentioned above, the story was poorly developed. First, Bella's character was boring, unexciting, unromantic, unEVERYTHING. It was unbelievable that nobody in Pheonix took a liking to her, but every guy in Forks fell head over feet for her? Most upsetting of all is that Edward's attraction to her wasn't b/c he loved her, it was b/c she smelled like the best piece of prime rib in the school.
My last complaint (for this review anyway) is that the author had a tendency to repeat herself throughout the novel. How many times did we need to go over the same concepts?
I don't recommend this book to anyone over 12.
