Book Reviews of Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Book Review: So-So
Summary: 2 Stars
It's not what I expected. I am a true vampire book reader and I found this book quite boring and hard to get through. After reading Christine Feehan, LA Banks, Laurel Hamilton and Anne Rice this book cannot even compare. Add to the fact that they are teenagers and there is no vampire erotica to look forward to because they are kids. I am struggling to get through this book andI don't see what all the hype is about. I can't see myself buying the next books in the series because this one is not holding my interest.Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a fun and exciting tale. You will be hooked, so you better buy all 4 of them. The story is enticing. The characters are exciting. This is a great book and definatly worth the read. Book Review: Twilight
Summary: 5 Stars
A "can't put down" book - the characters draw you right in and get you involved. Great new version of the vampire myth!Book Review: harlequin romance for teens
Summary: 1 Stars
I rarely write reviews but this book is getting so much hype I had to add my two cents. Quite simply, this is romance novel fiction for teens. Nothing more or less. The hearthrob language, the utter willingness--outright longing--of the main character to give up everything for the hunky guy vampire. I actually don't want my 12-year old to read it because I think the female protagonist starts off promising (opinionated and strong) and just ends up totally lame (capitulating and stupid)! And the writing is bland, lacking the imaginative plot twists or character depth of the harry potter books. On my daughter's recommendation I just finished Wicked by Gregory Maquire, which by contrast is far more intelligent, fun, and provocative. If she gets sucked into this trilogy I'll know she's lowering her standards!Book Review: exaggerated reviews
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this book around the campus quite often in female hands, and the actor who acts Edward Cullen looked interesting, so I thought i would have a taste of the book before I watched the movie. I checked out some of the reviews on amazon.com to see if the book was worth the purchase, and they seemed more than fair. So I tried the book, and it was just a little bit of a disappointment. I don't think I liked the heroin much-she can't do anything without her beloved Edward. I can't like her-although I tried. I really did. But the book overall was just ok. But i don't think it's worth a round of applause as it seems to be getting. The writing style was dull and it rarely fired up an interest in me while reading. I think the only character I really liked was Edward Cullen. Bella Swan was rather ditzy, and that wasn't even a cute kind of ditziness she had. Rosalie wins.
