Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

Advantages: Beautifully written and crafted novel, amazing characters, will stay with you a long time after reading
Disadvantages: Un-putdownable!

I first heard of Twilight last summer, but thought nothing of it. Over the following couple of months, I kept hearing it mentioned on various forums and websites, and so my curiosity was piqued. But did I really want to read a stereotypical vampire love story? Well, the answer was yes. The genre is one that I have never really explored before, andso I was intrigued not only by the summary, but by the reviews I'd read of the book. **Blurb** "About ...

One such website, The Twilight Lexicon, is even in ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing
Disadvantages: Too addictive

...the first book in the Twilight saga has taken the world by storm. The book by Stephanie Meyer was first published in 2005. It is a New York Times bestseller and has been picked my Amazon.com as a 'Best Book of the decade . . so far'. These are just two of the awards it has been given. On Amazon.co.uk Twilight is currently number 15 on the bestsellers in books and the latest in the series, Breaking Dawn is number 7. I think this is excellent especially ...
...on facebook had joined a Twilight group. So I read some more reviews of the book and found people speaking very highly about this vampire series. It appeared to be a mix between romance and vampires. Now I have never read a book on vampires in my life and so was a little wary. The books I normally read are strictly chick-lit but I was assured that this book is amazing and is addictive. That was enough to convince me! So off I went to my local library's ... Read review

Advantages: Where to start....
Disadvantages: You have to wait for the next sequel!!

...friends bustling upon how brilliant Twilight by Stephanie Meyer was, and how I have to read it, I finally gave in. I am not sure of the reason I felt I didn't wish to read this book, yet I believe it was the 'simple' story line as I took it, ie: Girl meets vampire, falls in love, the end. I am now the first one to tell anyone that this is NOT the story. It is not a simple story which has been used many different times, yet this is a story of suspense ...
...******Sequel Information****** Twilight is the first in a set of books. 'New Moon' is the first sequel and is already out in the shops and can be brought at any good retail shop. Whilst I write this review, I am eagerly awaiting the next installment 'Eclypse' ******Awards****** Perhaps a useless piece of information, but I thought that showing you the awards this one book has recieved since publishing in 2005 would help you in realising just how ...

Advantages: Bliss in printed paper
Disadvantages: The book eventually ends

I had bought this without planning to, I was searching for something bubblegum, by that I mean easy to deal with, something ongoing but interesting but not too hard. There was an offer on on my local WH Smith and having found one book I fancied completing the deal with a half price book. The picture drew me first, those pale hands gently clasping the perfectly red apple. It drew me far enough to pick the book up to read the back, which in turn made ...
...I'm not one to shun teen fiction just because I'm a fully grown adult, after all, the ingenuity of Harry Potter and the whole His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman are aimed at young adults. They also warranted films and spin off books, a huge inernational following and fan clubs all over the internet. Stephenie Meyer gives the impression she wrote this story because it needed telling and frankly it comes across that way. It is honest in ... Read review
