 A quick, enjoyable, page turner! November 18, 2008
Taking on board that the writing could have been better and the characters more elaborated on, Twilight is a riveting read, full of teenaged sexual tension, leaving you unable to put it down for more than a minute - I literally didn't leave my room for 2 days. For reference, I'm 17, just in the bracket of the target audience.
Possible spoilers ahead.
Bella Swan, who, unfortunately, you come to hate, moves to the dreary town of Forks to live with her father, in order to give her mother a bit of space with her new husband. Upon arriving she almost instantaneously stumbles upon the town's most mysterious residents - the Cullens. Beautiful and mystifying, she's unable to keep away and quickly becomes involved with the youngest and only available member - Edward. Now, I know he's only fictional, but he is gorgeous. There's no two ways about it. Some of the things that he says, fictionally of course, make me personally melt inside. I've, time and time again, asked my boyfriend to read it so he can learn from Edward/Meyer. ;)
I've read other reviews criticising the relationship between Edward and Bella, saying that it is superficial, weak and not something we should be aspiring for, however I disagree. Their relationship is deep and pure, and beyond anything ever possible in this world. At first it IS based on looks and, in Edward's case, scent, but isn't any relationship based on that to begin with?
Another trait I've heard mocked is Meyer's writing style. Granted, and I accept, it isn't the best, I could probably write better, but her ideas and imagination, I believe, make up for her poor ability to portray them.
I would recommend this to anyone who can stomach constant and intense romance, soppiness and, essentially, cheesiness. If you can follow it through to the end, when the action begins, do it because you won't be disappointed. For me, this book was worth all the hype it has so far received and much, much more.
Twilight- the new harry potter? November 17, 2008
Millions have read Harry Potter, but what do you think ? Does twilight surpass the Potter's? I believe so, this has to be the best book I have read in a long time. Can't wait for the film!
Love story with a twist November 15, 2008
Wow, I just finished reading this book and had to order the rest of the series immediately! I'm a sucker for a love story and this one had that in spades plus a good dollop of thiller mixed in. I'm a notoriously slow reader but I couldn't wait to get through each working day just to get home and start reading again, it pulls you in and is so easy to read I finished it in 3 evenings (and a couple of hours this morning!).
There were actually times I felt breathless reading it, from the building romance to the edge of my seat thriller I loved every second. I can see that it's aimed more towards teenagers but I'm in my late 20's and would happily recommend this to any of my friends who wanted a good story to read.
I can't wait for the rest of them to arrive and I hope they don't disappoint after this fantastic start.
 even good for adults.. November 13, 2008
My teenage daughter spent an entire weekend reading books 1 - 3 in the Twilight series so I thought I'd better try the first one. I really enjoyed it - good, pacey writing, not just aimed at teenagers. Some bits were quite funny too. A good read.
This is excellent November 11, 2008
A friend recommended this, and I was sold about it straight away.
It arrived on Saturday and I finished it last night(Monday).
It's brilliant.
I've ordered the next book, New Moon. It's brilliant.
Highly recommended!
