 Good seller, rubbish book! August 28, 2010

I am about 15 years and a gender too old for this book. Don't get me wrong, Harry potter is really good but this book is only for younger girls. Nothing really happens, it is just a glorified diary portraying her unjustified (only because he is so 'beautiful') love for some 'beautiful' boy who turns out to be a vampire. Sweet!
Great service from the seller though!
 Bad, but think of what else is worse than this.... (the twilight effect) August 27, 2010
I have to admit, being the lower end of the target audience, I actually survived reading this book. I admit, it is repetitive, misogynistic and lame. Pure Mormonist progaganda, using the swooning romance to hook young girls then let them suck up the atrosities and violence of Breaking Dawn.
But, as a feminist, there is elements of misogyny in how it has been critisised if you think. Think Sex and the City 2, here is a thing that young teen girls have found and hooked onto, found someone they can relate to in the world of bad role models. (on the subject of role models, bella isn't awful, she lives in a small town and isn't very social which is understandable. Girls don't have to be everything!)But instead of celebrating this, critics have killed it, scrutinising every little word that these fans hold so dear. They are finding ways of not only critisising the books but the fan-girls who love it so dear, calling them airheads and idiots. This thing unites teens of all cultures, so clebrate the effect, not just critise the bad writing (even though I am twelve and am consently working on material better than this saga of tripe).

I am way off the target audience for this book! But as i love all things Vampire i thought i would give it a go!
Good quick read! if you are looking for highbrow literature this won't be for you but if you want to be entertained a remember what it is like to be a teenager give it a go!

Well.....my first thought when i watched the first film was to go to my library and hire them but then i looked on amazon and saw that they were so cheap! it was barely worth the diesel to get me there. And now...? Im an avid reader and get very submerged in books, when i get a good one, but i have never read any book twice. until now. the books are so full of little details and observations that you may skim over without a second thought the first time but become obvious when you read them the second. its hard to describe, you have little OH! RIGHT!? moments all the time when a piece drops into place about things you now know are going to happen but its subtly hinted at at various points.
Ive now bought all four books (and read them all twice or more) off amazon for the price, virtually, of one hardback from waterstones or whsmith!
I wont give anything away about the stories but they get better and better with each book and breaking dawn is astounding in the imagination and thought that went into it, im actually really sorry that i finished it and thats there's no more! (breaking dawn is the thickest book, nearly two inches, and its that moreish - i read it in less than two days!)
