		<description>I would like to start of by saying that this book was simply a pleasure to read. 

Before signing up for this account, I began reading all the bad reviews. I am not interested in the 5 star reviews because I am already aware of the book&#039;s excellence. I have some comments for all of you who do not quite enjoy reading Twilight. A good reader must have an imagination and undewrstands the author&#039;a point. Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinions. Mine, fore example, is that Twilight is the best book there is. Bella is an ordniary girl that everyone can relate to. She thinks herself as imprefect and ungraceful, but she is more than that and appears lovely to everyone she meets. We are all like her. We arent&#039;t aware of our beauty. Edward is described as perfect in Meyer&#039;s novel. But as Robert Pattinson (actor) has mentioned a numerous amount of times, he isn&#039;t perfect. But when you&#039;re in love, doesn&#039;t your object of affection seem perfect to you? Do you not overlook all flaws? As for the fact that he is accused of being controlling and obsessive, he isn&#039;t. He thinks and knows he is so imperfect. The only reason for living he has is Bella. He doesn&#039;t want anything to happen to her because of all the love he has for her. If you were a mother, would you not do the same for your child? Would you not shield her from what you think is dangerous, even if your wrong? And if you, like me, are still young, would you call your own mother or father overbearing? He loves her and thus, protects her from all harm. In this novel, Bella may be a tad stubborn, but aren&#039;t we all? 

Many are saying that the character of women in this series is very weak. I too have something to say about this. Women in this book arent completely human. Not most of them anyway. Bella was very  reluctant to let Edward assist her in anyway at the start of this novel, she does show some strength as a woman. In Breaking Dawn, she does keep secrets from Edward and becomes self-sufficient in order to protect her daughter. 

As for Team Edward or Team Jacob, well TEAM EDWARD all the way.!! That might be because I am positively in love with him, but still. I am not going to argue with those of you who are on Team Jacob because I can relate as well. For me, Harry Potter is my Jacob and Twilight is my Edward. Those of you who have read both books may be able to figure out the analogy. Twilight is Harry Potter with sex appeal. 

I recommend this book to anyone. It is inspirational. It has made many think that anything is possible.!!

		<description>Twilight has the makings of a great book. But it&#039;s so fucking annoying and melodramatic. There is so much crap in the book. Too many characters that don&#039;t have anything to do with the story. Edward is very badly written, it doesn&#039;t make sense why anyone would like him? Are all the girls so shallow? It seems that the only thing going for him are his good looks and his money. He treats Bella like an asshole even after they are so &quot;in-love&quot;. But still the book is ok, in some weird way. It holds up pretty good towards the end, but then the ending comes. THAT DOESN&#039;T MAKE ANY SENSE! The same thing with the second book. It seems like Meyer writes writes and writes and suddenly needs there to be an end in two chapters. Nothing happens in 20 chapters, then they swoosh to italy (wtf?) steal a porche (wtf???) in like 2 pages. And what&#039;s the deal with the cars?

The sliding car scene in the first book is so badly written you can&#039;t understand anything that happens.

pros and cons:

+ Good plot
+ Bella is well written and sometimes funny
+ You get hooked, which is always nice
+ Bella is actually fucking nuts and not a good role model at all
+ If you can ignore the dumb stuff in the book, the rest is quite nice.

- All the other charachters are one-dimensional
- It&#039;s really meant for teen girls so it&#039;s kinda gay to read em
- It&#039;s soooo innocent. 
- Bella is actually fucking nuts and not a good role model at all.


But i will read parts 3 and 4 nevertheless. male 26y</description>

		<description>Hey nice blog! I just finished reading it and am still digesting its effects.  This book had a very acrhetypal theme and I guess that pulled at me and I did find it abosrbing.  The writing style was very simple, almost mediocre...and maybe that was the cleverness of it, the writing style was like a reality tv show of bella&#039;s life and inner thoughts (I washed the dishes, I combed my hair) and then this exotic element enters it...in the form of Edward..and takes us to a fantasy realm we are all familiar with if subconsciously only.
Still processing all this...</description>

		<description>I kept hearing about the &#039;incredible&#039; Twilight and decided to check it out for myself. After wasting six hours of my life reading it I have to declare that I am clearly unimpressed. If you were to dissect the book into two sections: A, being actual plot line; and B, being Bella mooning over Edward... the plot line would take up less than two pages. The entire book was, &quot;He&#039;s so dreamy. SO perfect. SO unbelievable. I love you. I love you more. No; I love you most!&quot; They were so absorped in one another dialogue was almost non-existant. It was basically the same sentence over and over just different people saying it. It was very melodramatic. My opinion is that this was just one giant monologue by Stephanie Meyer... Not a novel... not a story... a monotaneous, redundant, and overrated monologue. It&#039;s so easy to NOT get lost in it&#039;s pages.</description>
