There is good in Twilight. It's better than a lot of YA novels. It actually has a plot, story, themes, somewhat interesting characters that are more than cardboard cutouts.

I didn't really want to start this series. I did it kicking and screaming. It was getting so much hype and I usually dislike books that have so much hype BUT I was hooked from the start and I loved the characters and yes I wanted Edward to bite her...LOL....fast reading, good book.

My expectations for this book were way too high based on reviews I had seen. It was good, not great. The story is very intriguing -- loner teenage girl falls in love with an unbelievably hot vampire and doesn't care if he could kill her at any moment.

I find it strange that this book goes in my horror section as well as children/young adult. I also find it strange that I personally got about five people hooked on this series (directly and indirectly) without actually caring for the book myself.

I loved this book so much that I couldn't put it down. The detail and quality in her writing made me feel like I was their myself. It was one of the best books I have ever read.

I really enjoyed this book! It is a very passionate YA book. But I love that Edward is an old-fashioned vampire. This currently my favorite series of all time!
