 Rating:  - Read it in 2 days, what more can I say!I'm an avid reader, but this is the first time I've been so drawn to a story, I just had to read this quickly, and when it was over, I only wanted to read more! Rating: - The Lion And The LambI'm a latecomer to the "Twilight" series, but I just finished reading the first book, and I have to say, it was a page turner from start to finish. I have purchased the rest of the books, and cannot wait to start reading again. I am very anxious to see the movie when it comes out this weekend, and I'm trusting that it lives up to the hype, and also the expectations that fans of the book have been anticipating. There wasn't one dull moment in this book, I had a very hard time putting it down. I hope that the movie will capture the true chemistry and emotion between Edward and Bella, that Stephenie Meyer made us feel in the book. Maybe it was a certain look between the two of them, or the unspoken love that they both felt, whatever ... Read More: Rating:  - Disappointingly painfulTwilight and its sequels took the teen horror romance sub-genre by storm, and it is easily understandable why; while Stephanie Meyer undoubtedly has some skills weaving a good narrative, her subject matter is hopelessly mundane and lacking in good foresight. One dares think that the vast majority of the abilities, traits and twists she uses in her book, while arguably appropriate, are fraught with stereotypical views worthy of any tortured goth-like tween, and her main character's unsurprising battered woman syndrome attribute does nothing to alleviate the weight of this impending feeling of "I know where this is going" waiting to crush you like an obese vampire hungry for blood after a month of forced starvation. I recommend ... Read More: Rating:  - A fun, light read that's not just for teens.At first, I wasn't sure what to make of Bella. As a seventeen-year-old with divorced parents, I thought her quite mature... considering she had pretty much fended for herself and her mother, who is very forgetful and eccentric. And now she's going to visit her father in his small hometown of Forks, Washington. She doesn't want to go - she hates it there - but she's determined. While she makes friends easily enough, but for some reason becomes fascinated with Edward Cullen. He, and his brothers and sisters, aren't like the rest of the students, and for some strange reason, he seems to dislike her - extremely. And she can't figure out what she's done to be on the receiving end of such dislike. But what she doesn't know is that Edward is attracted ... Read More: Rating: - Overrated but mildly amusingI heard all the hype about this series and decided to make my own opinion. Perhaps it was all the applause for the novel that had my hopes so high. But, by the end of the novel I was mad. I endured nearly 300 pages of fluff and repetitive conversations to MISS out on the finale?? What was Stephanie Meyer thinking? *SPOILER* Did she reach the major action scene at the end where we could see actual blood fly and go, "I'm soooo bored, I want inane conversation again...lets have her pass out so no one sees him die." THEN she has it told that the brothers killed him instead of Edward himself? Dear GAWD. I can't even explain the amount of disappointment I held when I read the last pages of that novel. ...
