best series ever written

Customer Rating:

Many of my friends recommended Twilight to me, and i found it to be one of the best books i have ever read in my life. Unable to put the book down, i finished it quickly and bought the rest of the series soon after. While New Moon was an exceptionally good book, i found it to be a little disappointing after reading Twilight. New Moon seemed to be devoid of the romance and action that urged me to read on through Twilight. However, the book is still a great addition to one of the best series ever written. Now that I have finished Breaking Dawn, the fourth book of the series, I have begun to reread the series and am on Eclipse once again. Reading the books the second time was just as exciting as the first. I would truly recommend New Moon, as well as the rest of the Twilight saga.

A Heroine Clearly In Need Of Therapy

Customer Rating:

Meyer, Stephenie Remember that time that your high school boyfriend left you and you became despondent and started doing crazy things to hallucinate his voice in your head? No? That's probably because you're a sane person with a healthy identity that is separate from your high school boyfriend's. Bella is not sane. Bella is completely out of her gourd in this book, and we get to see exactly how unhealthily obsessed with Edward she is. I know that fiction is just that: fiction. I also realize that not all characters need to be likable or even have an iota of common sense. What bothers me about the Twilight books is that Ms. Meyer has created a world in which teenage hormones run free, completely unchecked by common sense, parents, or even reality. If I had a teenage daughter who slipped past the brink of sanity over a breakup with a boy she knew less than a year, I would be trying to rectify the situation. In Bella's world, her love (which is a sacred, pure, overwhelming love, the author assures us again and again) was so important that it's okay for her to just throw her entire life down the drain once Edward leaves her. School activities? Friends? Academics? None of it's important now that she doesn't have her man by her side (not that it was really that important to begin with; who could focus on being a strong and independent woman when there's a total hunk around?). It's one think to suspend reality to prove a point or create an engaging world. However, suspending reality to let me read about a teenager who believes in soulmates is absurd.

Excellent book	Customer Rating:
This is a great sequel to Twilight. Stephenie Meyers really hammers in the impact of the characters' relationships, and creates a love triangle for us to argue over.

love it.	Customer Rating:
I love the whole twilight series. all of the books are great. i encourage anyone who likes love stories or books about vampires to read the series. =]

Love this series!	Customer Rating:
This series is so addictive. I started reading on a recommendation by a friend. I thought it was cheesy-sounding but it's not immature at all. I loved this series and I'm now reading the 4th in the series, and I've read 238 pages in 2 days. I'm going to be so sad when it's over!
