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.
 Totally Disappointed January 6, 2009

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.

Ihate this freaking book even though I havve not even read it. This seris should be discontinued and all other copies destroyed immediately. We do not want the whole population running around spasing out because they think vampires are real. The population is bad already. proof: This seris of books was published.

I finished reading Twilight over the weekend after seeing the movie. I thought it was a great read. This is one instance where the book is WAY better than the movie. The story is interesting and captivating. I am 30 years old and not normally a fan of this genre of book, but this is a love story that makes you feel the characters hearts beating (well the one's of them that have beating hearts) through the pages. I couldn't put it down and bought New Moon before I finished the last pages of Twilight.
I highly recommend this book!
