Twilight

I can readily admit that I'm not a fan of Stephenie Meyer. Before going into this book I was already dead set against liking it because of all the hype surrounding it. Then, having had a bad experience with the movie (I walked out of it) and hearing my sister gush about it I was just about sick of hearing about Twilight. But then The Host came out and I gave Stephenie Meyer's first adult novel a chance and it was actually pretty decent so here I am giving Twilight a try because the author who wrote The Host couldn't have made a completely ridiculous young adult series.

Well, the fact of the matter is that this book is not very good for a young adult novel. I've read better books with better story lines that don't expound for 50 pages about how much she hates one person and then a page letter completely changes her mind and loves him. This book is not the next great american novel. She's definitely overrated but the book was not as god awful terrible as some made it out to be. In the end, it's readable if you can ignore how horrendous of a character Bella is and how annoying her voice is in the book.

I'm going to read the series because I'm dedicated enough to not want to see the story end and I think if an author can get me interested in her characters despite a barrage of other mistakes and annoyances then they've done their job with their book.
