Critical review:
I’ve went over the book; yes Meyers does a great job in being descriptive and adding so many details.
But I feel that this book is too superficial, there is ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLVE, there’s nothing that seems to repair the relationship of Bella and her parents; it shows that it’s okay to treat your parents like crap.
And the fact that the book doesn’t have any time where Bella is empowered by her own self confidence, the belief of herself; she relies on Jacob or Edward for that sense of “protection”.
There are so many books that need to be read, I just don’t think I’d recommend this to any kids I know.
The majority that liked this book were giddy high school girls whose fantasies are coming into fruition with this novel. Twilight is a high school girl’s dream come true.
But the truth is; I wouldn’t allow a person like Edward near my children in the sense that they wouldn’t know how to appropriate their actions around people….it’s very creepy.

The first time I heard about this book was about two or three years ago when my cousin told me this was “soooo gooood!” and I had to read it. I didn’t at first because I knew it was in the Young Adult section of the bookstore and I am always a bit iffy about that section.
Then, once the movie came out and there was this huge craze that followed, I definitely didn’t want to read the books because I try to not get sucked into all the hype.
This past Thanksgiving, I saw that another one of my cousins had the books and I asked her if I could borrow the first book so I could find out what all this mess was about. I definitely didn’t want to waste my money if the books turned out to be as dumb as I thought they would be.
So, on the car ride home I started reading … and reading… and reading … I found that I couldn’t put the book down! When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about the book and how I wished I could be reading. True this is no mind bending, life changing work of literature, but I found it to be quite addictive and I don’t know why!
As soon as I finished the first book, I ran out to Wal-mart and bought the other three books because I couldn’t wait to have them shipped to me from Amazon.
By the end of the next week, I had finished all the books!
I hate my self a little for getting sucked into these books, but I just found them so entertaining and addictive.
