Twilight (↓)

I've finished a book. I've finally started reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers. I'm going to read the whole series to say I've read them, but honestly, I don't really like them. I couldn't wait for Twilight to be over when I was reading it.

Anyway, for those of you who have been living in a hole the past few years, Twilight is about a human girl who falls in love with a vampire. The whole book is so far-fetched in the romance department, that it almost makes you sick to read. It almost ruins the ideals young women (teenagers, seeing as that is the audience this book is written for) that they should be expecting for love when they get into a relationship. It also can influence the young women to believe that no matter what trouble they get into their 'knight in shining armour' will come to rescue them, which isn't always true.

Overall, I have to say that I didn't really like the book. The characters were too basic (and annoying...), the storyline was dumb and basic, and the writing was too simple.  I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and easy read that they don't have to think about, and won't be nagging them later with unanswered questions. You can definitely tell it was written for a younger audience by comparing the writing of Ms. Meyers with any adult fiction writer.

anyway, I am onward to reading the 2nd novel in the series. Let's hope I enjoy it a little more than the last one.

Until next time, 

Happy reading everyone!
