Despite the atrocious writing (a character should only be described as "beautiful" once if that and definitely not on every other page), the plot is compelling and the author provides and a new and interesting take on vampires. As someone who likes vampire mythology, I'm enjoying this book despite the writing and am also looking forward to talking about it with my daughter who is a devoted fan of the whole series. However, for fantastic writing and very detailed depictions of vampire life and history, nothing beats Anne Rice's Interview With a Vampire, which I may just have to reread after Twilight. ( ) I'M SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW. I WAS EXPECTING TO CRINGE A LOT MORE THAN I DID AND HAPPILY FANBOY A LOT LESS THAN I DID. I will be reading the rest of the books ASAP. AHHHH. Much, much better than I expected. And much, much better than the movie. Debo admitir que gracias a Crepúsculo en la época de adolescencia allá por el 2009 me enganché muchísimo a la lectura, porque antes de eso no leía nada. Así que si, gracias Crepúsculo, me encantó en su momento la historia con mi joven cabeza de adolescente. I am definately not a twi-head. Nor will I be reading any more of this series. I wanted to see what the hype was about, and for me, I just didn't see it. A wonderful concept, but the writing left something to be desired.
"Meyer's prose seldom rises above the serviceable, and the plotting is leaden" [....] "It's like reading a young teenage girl's blog" Astonishing, mainly for the ineptitude of her prose. Teen vampire schlock that has the nation’s youth in thrall. [L]et me say to you as a meat-eating, Entourage-watching, sports-loving (OK, I really don't love sports, or actually understand sports) — heterosexual man who can't sit through a single show on Lifetime television, let me loudly proclaim: I, Brad Meltzer, love the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I confess, I have joined the legions of the bitten and smitten. The plot may sound rather comic and camp, but Meyer chooses to play it straight and serious. Vampires or not, what this novel is really about is a fatal attraction to someone or something dangerously different from yourself. The trajectory of the story is such that Bella's behavior and choices grow increasingly more disturbing, with irrevocable, self-destructive consequences.

When seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington, she meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school for whom she feels an overwhelming attraction and who she comes to realize is not wholly human. No library descriptions found. |
