So I didn't read Twilight or watch the movie - too much hype and I'm not too fond of reading about blood sucking and blood spewing out of someone or the sensation of being bitten in jugular. Well then I found out that none of that stuff really happens and a few friends convinced me to give the book a try. I started the book and about 13 pages in...I thought to myself "so whats the big deal, thus far nothings happened but rambling on and on about how much Bella hates this, that, or the other."
But my friends weren't pleased with my reading progress so I picked up the pace and found myself hooked...like I've said before, "I'm a sucker for a good love story". hahaha
So I read all 4 books in a matter or a few days. What can I say - I really was hooked and now I want an Edward for myself :P
It's not a literary masterpiece by any means but its definitely entertaining and worth the read. What woman doesn't like to read about being loved in a way that surpasses all other desires. Once you read the 1st book there's no way you can't read the other 3....and when you get to the final book "Breaking Dawn" - you're only left wanting more of Edward and Bella's love story.
If you make it to book 2 - New Moon...just trudge through it. It was my least favorite of all the books...very depressing and bleak. And since Edward is absent through most of the book its hard to commit yourself to the story...but if stick with it you'll find its worth it.
After reading the book I watched the movie and found myself laughing at some of the silliness. But despite the characters were cast good...I'm not a huge Kristen Stewart fan but she does fill the role of unhappy Bella. I hope that New Moon will have a little more depth to it....but again this is teen fiction :)
