Book # 25: Twilight

by Stephenie Meyer

I hate to admit it, but yes, I succumbed to the pressure and read Twilight. Yes, the one made into the movie. Yes, the one that teenage girls are crazy about. I know, I know. I had a few people recommend it, and then had a friend offer to lend me the books (the first three). So there you have it.

It was good. In a low-key, teenage romance way. I was intrigued by how the whole vampire thing worked, and the dialogue was good at times (filled with sarcasm and quips at each other), at least until they really became boyfriend and girlfriend, and then it became a little sappy and obsessive. After a long beginning, something exciting did happen, and that had me up reading when I should have been sleeping, but then the end returned to the sappy and obsessive dialogue. So not an all time favorite, and probably not one I'd reread. But I enjoyed it enough, and it peaked my interest enough to have me start in on the second one, New Moon. So I'll keep you posted on it, and most likely the third, and the fourth...
