I don't care if MANY of you don't like Twilight, but anyway, I'll just say my opinion/ review.

I liked the book so much and I got really addicted to it. Like a drug.
Edward is beautiful (on the book) and really something like a handsome, gorgeous cool fellow. I thought: "What the hell is his problem with Bella?"

Bella is someone like ME. Hates sport, silent, likes jeans, shirts and sneakers but.... I DON'T HAVE A VAMPIRE AS BOYFRIEND. :PP

MY OPINION on Rosalie is that... SHE'S A BITCH. I mean, wha ...more

I loved these books. Don't laugh, I really did. And why not? It's got suspense, mystery, not a little romance, and twists and turns that keep you guessing. (Okay, I'm talking about the whole series here). Many couldn't get past Twilight to read the following novels, which is a shame, because the story in general drastically improves.

I can understand why some would not like this book, as I've been reading quite a few reviews that state so. However, it seems to me that most of those who dislike i I loved these books.

I can understand why some would not like this book, as I've been reading quite a few reviews that state so. However, it seems to me that most of those who dislike it do so because either it's 1. popular, 2. anti-feminist, 3. not a good portrayal of vampires, or 4. annoyingly sappy and plotless.

As for not liking it because everyone else does, you have some major issues that require the need to rebel. Come up with a real reason.

Hmmm.. What is the big deal with female power? I am all about being an independent and educated woman, but why is it wrong for a woman to actually want to be with a man above anything else? It's a choice and not one to be judged. Men are allowed that choice, and when they make it in novels, it's romantic, not pathetic. Adding anti-feminist as a descriptive term for this novel is really just depriving women of another choice... Tsk, tsk...

Okay, on to the next. Fictional characters can be described in any way the author chooses. So what if Stephenie felt the urge to change how vampires have always been viewed? So what if they sparkle? That's her take on them, and if you want bloodthirsty, evil vampires who stealthily evaporate every human's life-force, don't read a young adult romance novel. Seriously?

As for sappiness and lack of plot, I will admit that Stephenie got a little carried away with descriptions, especially when it came to Edward. Small flaw. Lack of plot? Not sure that's entirely true. I've read that some think the plot took way too long to present itself, however, I think the first of the four in the series is meant to establish Edward and Bella's relationship. He struggles with right and wrong while she frustratingly tries to uncover who he really is. All four books are one huge story, not each one a tale in and of itself. Look at the big picture people. ...more
