My 12-year old daughter read this book a dozen times, so I finally read it. I get it. Meyer came up with a tanatalizng storyline, the modern-day damsel in distress and the indestructible knight that lives only to protect and love her. Edward Cullen is an interesting character and some of Meyer’s new twists on vampires I found interesting because they weren’t so campy; and then throw in the love triangle and you’ve got every high school drama queen’s wet dream. Meyer has some memorable lines and the book is mostly diaglouge and easy to read. So I get it; I understand why it’s a global phenomenon.

Not well-written, though. The narrative is filler, for the most part, rather than adding to the story. Most of the story is TOLD to the reader in conversation. Again, my daughter loved the endless dialogue (”It’s my turn to ask questions.” “No, it’s my turn.”) but I found it tiresome. Lastly, too many beats and no one “said” anything, they all “murmured, lied, repeated, or pointed out”.

Agents and publishers are in the game to make money, I get that. Meyer put together a billion-dollar story that adults and children could both read and enjoy. I applaude her for that. But she can be a better writer. Maybe if I read her later work, I’ll find out she did.

Thought it looked cheap and would break when I first looked at it. Also, it’s so light, so it’s kind of deceiving. I was thinking, “how can something so light be so powerful?” When I put it together and turned the vacuum on, I was like, whoa! It’s powerful for it’s size and sucks up a lot at a time. Light, but powerful. Good vacuum. I would recommend it.

I won’t go into a long review here– I read mostly non-fiction because fiction typically bores me. About 10-20% of the time, though, I like to switch to fiction to enjoy “lighter” reading than the non-fiction I typically read. I picked up Catcher in the Rye in a bookstore on a whim the other day. It really, really blew me away! I NEVER laugh out loud when I’m reading, and I must’ve literally laughed outloud several dozen times when reading this book. It was SO funny! And just brilliantly written, enjoyable to read, fun but serious at times, etc. Just a great book, a classic, and one that I should’ve read earlier in life (I’m 37 now). I will likely re-read it every few years just to remind myself how much of a page-turner it was…
