Ich habe mich in meinen 30ern dazu entschieden, die Biss-Reihe zu lesen und muss sagen, ich verstehe den Reiz. Ja, Bellas Charakter ist manchmal etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Sie ist eben ein Teenager. Aber die Storyline ist meiner Meinung nach genial. Eine Mischung aus Knistern, Action und Melancholie. Emotional sehr ansprechend und abwechslungsreich. Man kann als Leser hier wirklich in eine schöne Welt abtauchen.

Poorly paced, shallow character development, unbelievable (and truly uncomfortable) relationships. I loved it.
As a fan of the movies, I had to pick up the book while vacationing in Forks. The book was just as campy and it was fun to see more of the characters. It is a story you have to climb cringe mountain to enjoy, but the pay off is worth it.

The pedophilia is what I couldn’t quite get over as an adult… as well as the fact that most of the book occurs over the weekend but she’s willing to die for him? Idk I mean it got me out of my book slump like the old reliable read it is but also 🤔

Maybe just because I went in with low expectations, but that was actually pretty good. The writing was hamfisted, particularly in descriptive language - it's practically criminal to set a book in a place as atmospheric and magical as the Olympic Peninsula, and have the prose so flat and bland. And of course it was too teenager-y, and Bella had as much personality as, well, a doormat. Even given those complaints, it hung together as a story well. I don't understand why it got so wildly popular (or was that only with the later ones?), but it was a fun read.
Not at all my usual genre, but I LOVED it! The story sucked me in right away (lately, it's been taking me a long time to get into books -- I'm not sure whether that's due to the books themselves, or just a phase I've been going through) and I couldn't put it down.
