The guiltiest of guilty pleasures. A host of complex issues (human nature! identity! alien invasion!) mired in Meyer's fondness for Sweet Vally High cliches.
Humanity might be lost, but who cares when there are cute boys to crush on!
And still, this was a fine summer read.

I will be honest, I bought this book because of Twilight (back when I could actually stand it) and I decided to give it a chance just because Stephenie Meyer wrote it. At first, I was bored. I even gave up at one point, but then I picked it up again, because I had nothing else to do. A hundred or so pages later, I couldn't stop reading. I was sucked into their world. I felt their pain and their joy, I cried with them and I laughed with them. Somewhere along the way, it became one of my favourite books. It's a story about love, friendship and what it means to be human. Never take one single day for granted.

I liked this. I liked this a lot. Doesn't have the same addictive qualities as Mrs. Meyer's work, the Twilight series, but I found something very good and I was unable to put it down!
This book was phenomenal for pushing everything to the brink of destruction and the pulling it all in and back together. Awesome.
I also got an advanced copy from the bookstore I worked at. More Awesome.

Done. I liked it more than I remember. Completely separate from twilight. Yep.
What to say, what to say? At first it wasn't really what I was expecting. With all the hype surrounding it, I figured it would be 100% throughout the entire thing. Although that wasn't the case, it still pulled through in the end and now I can see why there is so much hype around it. Meyer gives us a chance to sympathize with all the characters and allows us to see their point of view even if we aren't in the heads. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
