teen angst/abuse   2010-09-04
By mbendele (boulder co)
I enjoyed the movie much more than the book, even though the first installment was poorly funded and directed. I couldn't shake the feeling the entire time of how poorly Edward treated Bella. They tempered this quite a bit in the movie, you will notice, because it's quite off-putting and makes Edward look like a royal a-hole. Did he ever notice or comment on her intellect, sense of humor, courage, character? Did anyone else notice that he was constantly angry with her, making condescending faces and noises? I kept asking myself why she didn't like Mike.... The perfect descriptions of Ed's perfectness were extreemely perfectly repetitive. I understand the need to explain Bellas lust for him, but maybe she could have done it in some more creative ways. That being said, I like the main ideas of the plot... they do make for intriguing vapid reading. The books should have been 1/3 the size they ended up. Some 100-200 pp sections could have been totally deleted with no consequence to the storyline. And I'm getting ahead of myself, but book four was a little creepy and boring after the honeymoon. Jacob has the hots for an infant...?!?! WTF? I know she tries to shrug this off, but my mind keeps going to when Renessmee is 12 and he is lusting after her... gross!

A whiny little girl falls in love with someone who sparkles and is tortured by his "vampire" existence. Although he has never eaten anyone nor done anything vampire-like. Forget the fact that he is a total creeper. She then proceeds to set women's rights back 70 years while existing only to love a "man"( aka whiny little b*tch) and have him save her. If you want to see a real vampire romance, watch this Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)
Fantastic on all age levels!   2010-09-02

I really enjoyed reading this book. It reaches teens and adults too. Thanks.
Harry Potter fan and a Man   2010-09-02
By Joseann J. Robles (Atlanta, GA USA)
I could not finish reading this first book. If I finished it I would have lost too much. I would have ended up loving a vampire and looking at him in a strange way. Nah, couldn't do it. However, this author is nothing compared to J.K. Rowling. Stephanie doesn't have the element of surprise and sense that J.K. Rowling have in her books. Meyer only knows about disturbing irrational love. I know twilight fans will hate me after this, but I really don't care. I got Harry Potter fans having my back. And they are a lot more.
Awful.   2010-09-01
By Lecrownoir
This is a sad attempt at literature and basically nothing more then lame Young Adult abstinence porn. I have read Harlequin romance novels with better character development, plot, and overall writing style. Bella MarySue! is boring, does not develop as a character, and whines constantly throughout the entire series. She relies on men to save her and defines herself based on the value that CreepyStalker! Edward places on her. Oh, and girls, as a side note...any man that sneaks into your house to watch you sleep is not a romantic guy. Just imagine waking up to see a set of strange eyes grazing over your body. Yikes.
